One of the lead designers in the mobile industry Samsung is long due for a new release. After the incidents of the latest Galaxy Note 7, Samsung has been keen on making things right this time.
According to Boy Genius Report, Samsung has issued press invites for its usual pre-Mobile World Congress press event with a hint that the latest Galaxy S8 won’t be the star of the show. Two of the predecessors, the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S6 were both launched at the Mobile World Congress. But multiple reports have confirmed that Samsung Galaxy S8 would not be launched at Mobile World Congress in Spain this year. They want to make sure the phone doesn’t pose any security risk like Galaxy Note 7 did. CEO of Samsung’s mobile division said that there’s not going to be a Galaxy S8 announcement in Barcelona.
The next generation Samsung Galaxy S8 will ship with a bigger battery than its predecessors, Express UK reported. A report from SamMobile, a technology blog, claims that there have been requests made by Samsung for both 3,250mAh and 3,750mAh batteries from its suppliers. Samsung Galaxy S8 is expected to launch with 5.8inch Quad HD display and a 3,250mAh battery. And the rumored Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus is expected to launch with a larger 6.2inch Quad HD AMOLED display model with a bigger 3,75mAH battery. The phone is rumored to be running an energy efficient Snapdragon 835 processor.
The phone is rumored to be launched on March 29th with 4GB of RAM, Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor, and dual camera set. On the physical side of things. Samsung will drop all physical buttons from the front of the device. The decision to ditch the buttons will allow Samsung to reduce the bezels at the bottom of the device.
With its removal, Samsung will have to relocate the fingerprint scanner to the rear of the phone. There have been some rumors that Samsung will use one of the headline features of the latest generation iPhones – 3D Touch. But in order to use it Samsung will have to adapt the Android operating system itself since the software doesn’t support the technology yet.
