2016-12-23
now you can be sure with the Mobile World Congress just around the corner Sammy is working real hard to help us forget the debacle of the note 7 and they're going to do that with the flagship of flagships the Samsung Galaxy s8 first let's talk about a possible launch date traditionally Samsung has launched this device just before the Mobile World Congress so for this year that would be February 26 the most logical prediction however more than a few rumors have claimed that the Galaxy S 8 launch might be pushed back as far as April this came from The Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg it's no secret that Samsung wants the s8 launch to go off without a hitch so delayed launch is quite possible yada yada yada yada Dooku specs well I gotcha and the current crop of s8 spec rumors include a 5.5 inch and 5.1 inch Super AMOLED display it's also expected to have 7.1 nougat and 6 gigabytes of RAM recent leaks have the qualcomm x' next gen snapdragon 835 powering the s8 or it could be the Exynos 88-90 5 chipset depending on the region in which you buy the phone most reports claim that the base model storage will be bumped up to 64 gigabytes and some claim they'll be a 128 gigabyte and even a 250 gigabyte model available it seems safe to assume that the s8 will feature the new hybrid slot that supports both microSD expansion and Samsung's new ufs memory cards stereo speakers are also expected to arrive in the s8 but Samsung has publicly stated that Harman audio won't appear on a Galaxy device until 2018 as far as display resolution goes it will most likely have qHD it's expected to have an ip68 water-resistant and dustproof rating and it's also expected to ditch the 3.5 millimeter headphone jack and add USB type-c now the iris scanner and software layer found on the galaxy note 7 is reportedly bound for the s8 and will officially support Google's daydream VR platform many of you will also be very happy to know that it's expected to have three coil wireless charging which will provide more efficient wireless charging and require less precision when placing the device on a wireless charger now if the s8 does support welcomes 835 chipset it will also support quick charge for which claims to offer five hours of battery-life for just five minutes of charging geeks are going to freak but you may not like this because it is rumoured that the home button is going bye-bye you see the front of the galaxy s 8 is reported to be one sheet of glass with no home button due to the fingerprint sensor being located underneath the display long time Samsung component partner synaptics recently announced its natural ID FS 90 100 line of optical finger sensors which sound an awful lot like what's being rumored on the s8 now it's also rumored to have a dedicated AI button but that rumor came from a prototype so what may never make it to the final product speaking about AI Samsung's VP of mobile communications went on record a while back promising a quote enhanced artificial intelligence service for the Galaxy s8 following Samsung's recent acquisition of AI firm viv labs the company admitted that it was bringing a new AI digital assistant to the s8 and other Samsung products now this may be an allusion to Samsung Bigsby which will reportedly also be able to handle your mobile payments using voice commands alone courtesy of a feature called Bigsby pay Samsung has also commented previously on being able to use its new voice assistant to order pizza or request an uber all of this will be achievable through Bigsby alone without needing to launch your pizza app or uber now this was all based on the article by my brother an Android Chris Carlin you can check it out in the link below he talks about a lot more rumors a lot more features I wanted to talk about the most interesting ones which one is most appealing to you let me know in the comments below will you be saving up to buy an s8 I'm sort of leaning that way
