All that there is to know about Samsung’s Galaxy S8

Flagship may be released ahead of the usual launch at Mobile World Congress

Samsung is topping all latest technology news platforms across the world these days for its ‘explosive’ Galaxy Note 7. However, it is important to note that the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge are performing consistently despite the news and information that has put the Korean giant in a difficult spot brand image wise. Amidst all of this, there are rumours that Samsung may be releasing its next flagship, the Galaxy S8, earlier than usual, to make up for the lost brand value. A popular website has even listed specs and features that are rumored for Galaxy S8 along with the possible retail price. If these rumors are to be believed, Samsung will be going for a solid redesign with new features for Galaxy S8.

As per these speculations, this new flagship will have a lot of latest technology features like a new processor capable of clocking 4GHz. This is being called Samsung Exynos 8895 and is touted to be at least 30 per cent better in performance as compared to the Exynos 8890 of the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge.  It is also being said that this new Galaxy model will have a curved screen and Samsung will completely shut down its flat screen phones. Could this be the official word in favour of curved screen smartness that has been around for a while but no major manufacturer has consolidated its flagship line without flat screen phones? We will have to wait and see.  Another outcome from the rumor mills is that renowned designer Steel Drake is behind the next flagship for Samsung. It is being said that this will not have a physical home button, decreasing the screen to body proportion than any other phone designed before.

Industry sources have quoted KB Investment & Securities as stating that Samsung may prepone the launch of this flagship by months. The manufacturer is known to release flagships only at the Mobile World Congress that is held every year in February in Barcelona. Although it would be outside of the norm for Samsung to ditch that road and release a flagship earlier, but industry experts are seeing this as a tactical decision that might be beneficial in the long run. Sources off the web have estimated that the Galaxy S8 will definitely cross the $800 benchmark making it one of the most expensive smartphones of its times. However, as always, Samsung is also expected to have a big lineup of affordable options along with this release.
