juan carlos mag Mel here for pocket now and folks were less than a week away from the official galaxy s eight announcement there are going to be four pocket mount editors on the ground in New York City to cover the event tell you all about the new flagship phones with the galaxy branding on them which means now's as good a time as any to run down all the rumors what we know what we don't know and here are our top five most anticipated features for the galaxy s a number five that chipset from twenty fifteen to twenty sixteen we saw a Qualcomm that was executing much better in terms of delivering high-end chipsets for flagship phones we've been killing it lately with the huawei mate nine in the p10 the cure and 960 chipset in this phone very close to the kind of performance we're expecting from the Snapdragon 835 and where the s7 was a snappy little buggers still one of the fastest camera launchers we've yet reviewed and no one's going to complain about having a little extra horsepower if that can also come with some efficiency improvements thanks to the smaller die the die shrink on that snapdragon part so much the better number for the new display I was definitely skeptical when we heard that LG was going to be moving to a two by one aspect ratio display but using this phone for a couple weeks the form factor has kind of won me over you have more screen real estate in an overall smaller shell you got chocolate in my peanut butter you got peanut butter in my chocolate that is pretty shocking when you see how close the g6 is to the galaxy s7 and that the g6 has more screen real estate than an iphone 7 plus knowing that Samsung is going to go to a five point eight inch display which again in form factor is only going to be slightly larger than a galaxy s7 edge is really compelling but one of the quieter rumors we hope hands out is also going to be the revised sub-pixel arrangement on this new display improved clarity detail and Christmas and it should also look a lot better when you pop that thing into a VR headset if we can't get a proper 4k display this will be the next best thing whereas i'm pretty confident that both models of the essay are going to feature curved screens so we'll be curious to see if at some point we're able to translate that really pretty aesthetic into something more rugged like a future galaxy active and moving to number three get ready for big speed this one's not a rumor anymore because Samsung kind firmed it but get ready for an additional intelligent layer of software on top of Google assistant for all of the AI buzzword enos surrounding Samsung's announcement of Bigsby it sounds like what we're going to be getting is an intelligent software layer which isn't completely dissimilar from what Motorola was trying to do back in the day on the Moto X the Samsung is going to have custom software running on top of their phones that allows for a greater breadth of interaction with different services and apps according to Samsung eventually anything that you might do through touch on your phone you should be able to also do through voice will be really curious to see how bixby evolves over time if Samsung can encourage developers to get on board their vision of what a software assistant should deliver moving to number two a super slow motion camera now Sony got the drop on this feature during mwc showcasing a 960 frame per second burst mode while shooting video crazy slow-motion footage if you've got good light but of course Sony solution for this probably won't be dropping until later in the year Samsung's looking like they're going to be able to score a victory here getting this feature into consumers hands first of course we're hoping to see some other improvements to Samsung's camera hardware but the shooter on the s7 and the SM an edge are still formidable in this day and age so that's probably going to be a bit more iterative this 1,000 frames per second burst mode is probably going to be one of their highlight features to really impress upon people that things are cooking so if you really want to play with time samsung cameras are going to be the way to go and considering the editor who's putting this list together the number one feature we're hoping to see on a galaxy s 8 is improved audio Samsung's business dealings and trying to acquire audio manufacturer harman have stalled just a little bit but that doesn't mean that we can't see some improvement in audio on samsung hardware both headphone and feed her performance on the s7 were mid-pack at best and the common knowledge was well waterproofing a phone is going to degrade the audio quality that that phone can produce which has recently been disproven not only by the iphone but also reinforced by the LG G 6 assuming the ultra premium price point to these galaxies are expected to land at should be no compromise devices and it's not like listening to some kind of audio the music movies or games isn't a primary activity for a lot of people who are walking around with smart phones these days folks that's our list of the top five features were most excited to see on the upcoming Galaxy S a what are you looking forward to what rumors have we not covered that you hope to see on Samsung's next flagship phone battery recharge rate facial recognition or an iris scanner maybe even a dual camera module on the larger s8 what kind of features do you think Samsung is going to deliver next week when this phone is officially announced and what do you think the pricing is going to be
