Samsung is apparently working on the upcoming Galaxy S8, and we’ve seen several rumors hinting at the specifications of the alleged device.
According to a new rumor, the alleged handset is expected to come with an optical fingerprint sensor helping the Korean company introduce a truly full-screen device.
Innovative Fingerprint Sensor Technology
It seems the company may have found a way to implement the new fingerprint sensor technology under the display, but one thing to note here is that it will make the device a little heavier. Nonetheless, Samsung is having some problems to make sure the device’s form factor. The integration of an optical fingerprint sensor under the display is a significant technological advancement. This technology allows for a more seamless and aesthetically pleasing design, as it eliminates the need for a physical home button. This could potentially lead to a more immersive user experience, with the screen occupying a larger portion of the device’s front surface.
Expected Specifications and Features
Rumors suggest the handset will come with a 5.5-inch display sporting a 4K resolution, 6GB of RAM, and up to 256GB of internal storage with Android 7.0 Nougat as its operating system. The 4K resolution display is particularly noteworthy, as it would provide incredibly sharp and vibrant visuals, making it ideal for media consumption and gaming. The 6GB of RAM would ensure smooth multitasking and performance, while the substantial internal storage would cater to users who need ample space for apps, photos, videos, and other data.
Additionally, the Galaxy S8 is expected to feature a high-end camera system, possibly with dual lenses, to compete with other flagship devices in the market. Enhanced camera capabilities, such as improved low-light performance and advanced image stabilization, could make the Galaxy S8 a top choice for photography enthusiasts.
Samsung has already confirmed the handset is not launching earlier than its regular schedule as it’s not easier to push the schedule on the last moment. This means that consumers can expect the Galaxy S8 to be unveiled around the same time as previous Galaxy S series releases, likely in the first quarter of the year. The company is likely taking its time to ensure that the device meets high standards of quality and performance, especially in light of past issues with battery safety in the Galaxy Note 7.
Furthermore, the Galaxy S8 is rumored to include other cutting-edge features such as an improved virtual assistant, possibly an enhanced version of Samsung’s Bixby, and advanced connectivity options like 5G support. These features would position the Galaxy S8 as a future-proof device, ready to take advantage of the latest technological advancements.
We’ll update you as soon as we get to hear anything more. Stay tuned for more information as it becomes available, and keep an eye out for official announcements from Samsung.
