The smartphone will launch at MWC (Mobile World Congress) 2017, as we all know that Samsung ‘Galaxy S series’ flagship smartphones are usually launched during this event. However, it might also be launched before MWC in January 2017 due to the massive failure of the Galaxy Note 7, according to recently reports.
It will be a successor of the Galaxy S7. We all know that Galaxy S7 Edge smartphone from the house or Samsung was a huge success, where as the very recent Galaxy Note 7 was a huge disappointment, because of the battery explosion issue, where many smartphones were blasted and people got severe injuries and properties were damaged. Even some countries banned the Galaxy Note 7 inside flights, however if we look at the present situation, they have resolved the problem and have now re-launched the Note 7, but it made a huge loss to Samsung in terms of money, reputation and brand value among their valuable consumers.
However, now everything looks fine and the company is looking forward to their next generation upcoming smartphone named the Galaxy S8. The specifications of this device are still unknown, but there are some hot news in the market. As per the rumors, the device will come without a headphone jack, which means it will only have a USB Type- C port for audio, like the Le Pro 3 and all others as well. It looks like the smartphone world is now implementing this new technology, and ditching the age old 3.5 mm audio jack. Even Apple removed the standard audio jack from their iPhone 7 and 7 Plus. The other strong news which we are getting about the device now is it that it will be packed with a 4K resolution display panel and will become the second mobile in the world with a 4K display.
First was from Sony called the Xperia Z5 Premium but it wasn't too good in terms of quality and did not do well in the market. This will still come with edge design, but if you are looking for a Flexible phone from the inventory of Samsung then you can check it in our list too as it’s present here. There are rumors that the upcoming phone from Samsung is expected to come with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 830 processor, which hasn't been revealed yet, but is expected to come in the near future. The smartphone will be powered with at least 6GB of RAM. The device will support the latest 5G network capability. You can also check a fan made awesome video below.
DESIGN
And if we talk about the design, then we would say that from the Galaxy S6-series they have followed the right design for their phone because when Galaxy S5 was launched then most of us were dissatisfied, reason being the Plastic design which was not premium at all.
But in Galaxy S8 we are expecting that the design clues are taken from the Galaxy S6 and the latest S7, a Metal frame holding two Glass slabs like a sandwich. But one thing which we can say is that Galaxy S8 will come with decreased thickness which will make it more slimmer than ever. But as we have seen that Samsung has not changed the design from past 2 S-series phones, S6 and S7. Both devices have a similar design except some changes, So the Samsung fans are expecting something out of this world but we can only say Samsung can do better in terms of design but sometimes improved design can create a problem, previously seen on Blackberry Passport smartphone. According to us Samsung S8 will retain the same design language.
PROCESSOR & RAM
On the processor department we cannot say much but as the specifications of the Global and the Indian version of the Samsung’s Flagship differs from each other, So the Global version the S8 will get power from the Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon 830(64 bit) Octa-Core processor and the Indian variant will come with the Samsung’s upcoming Exynos 8895(64 bit) Octa-Core processor.
Samsung S8 might sport 6GB’s of RAM because Oneplus have already challenged the big manufacturers in terms of specifications by its Flagship killer Oneplus 3, So it is possible that I S8 you will get 4GB as well as 6GB RAM as optional. 6GB RAM version will come coupled with 128GB of internal storage and 4GB RAM variant with 64GB of internal storage.
DISPLAY
Samsung Galaxy S8 may offer a 5.2(inch) Super AMO-LED panel with 4K resolution. We are expecting a 4K screen rather than a 2K panel because when in future the S8 will launch, at that time other manufacturers will also using the same technology so Samsung has to maintain its position. And we will also experience the Curved-Edge display on the upcoming S8.
Samsung will use the Curved screen because as per different sources it becomes clear that Samsung will make this Dual-Edge screen as their signature feature in every Flagship phone. And as the upcoming Gorilla Glass 5 is on its way but it is rumored that Galaxy S8 will come with Gorilla Glass on the front as well as on the back. And we all know that if a Smartphone is having a 4K screen then its pixel density will also going to be mind blowing, So it will have a pixel count of around 847ppi.
CAMERA
As in general language we can say that Camera is the eye of a smartphone, So as we have experienced a 12MP camera in the Galaxy S7, we know that the Galaxy S8 will bring a lot of improvement in terms of Camera but according to us Samsung will not going to change the resolution because they have discovered a sweet spot in terms of megapixels.
Samsung Galaxy S8 will have a 12MP rear Camera with their Dual-Pixel technology, PDAF(Phase Detection Auto Focus), Dual-Tone LED Flash, Aperture f/1.7 and on the front it will have a 8MP snapper on the front for handling Selfies. According to our expectation it will have a 8MP front camera because all other brands like Oppo, Oneplus, Xiaomi have started using better Camera sensors in front camera, So because of this reason Samsung also has cope up with them.
In terms of smooth video recording, it will come with 4-axis OIS coupled with software stabilization which means you will not face any more shaky or blurred videos and images.
BATTERY
For handling that much heavy hardware a device should also have a top notch battery and at the same time it should not occupy a big space otherwise the thickness of the phone will also going to increase. So it will have a non-removable 3500mAh battery and will support Fast Charging along with a USB Type-C port for Charging. As per the rumors the Charging speed of the S8 will be as fast as the Oneplus’s Dash Charging.
Other FEATURES
We are damn sure that it will have a Fingerprint Sensor on the front at the same position but in terms of speed it will be the improved one. The Heart Rate Monitor will also present on the Samsung Galaxy S8, NFC will be there, Bluetooth v4.2, Wi-Fi, GPS, etc. And for audio it will have a dedicated DAC for enhancing audio quality and levels.
The Android 7.0 Nougat is already out now not officially for all the devices, So Galaxy S8 will also run on the TouchWiz UI based on the latest Android 7.0 Nougat.
Samsung Galaxy S8 Price
We cannot comment upon the Price and the availability of the phone yet, because at present even the images of the phone have not leaked but we can expect that in India it might cost somewhere around 59,990 INR and in US can cost 878$, for the base variant because we consumers are already aware of the Samsung strategy, they launch the device with high pricing and as the time passes they lowers the price a bit.
Samsung Galaxy S8 release date
date we can expect in the MWC March 2017. Because If we look at the history they have mainly launched their flagship smartphones in MWC only, Like S7 edge 6s Edge Etc.
