Samsung Galaxy S8 Release Date, Specs, News, Features And Rumors

Latest news and rumors:

Galaxy S8 might get released sooner:

According to our inside sources, Samsung is planning to launch Galaxy S8 sooner than it’s scheduled release date. This is because of the complete failure of Note 7. Galaxy Note 7 was recalled worldwide due to battery exploding accidents. Even after replacing the devices with new ones, customers are still reporting the exploding incidents with their Note 7. To cover up this mess, Samsung may stop the sale of Note 7 and launch Galaxy S8. Let’s hope they manage to fix the battery issue with this one.

Only edge display S8 this time:

As per the new reports, Samsung will release Galaxy S8 with edged display only, ditching the flat display altogether. Till now, they have launched a regular display version along with edged display version of their flagship phones since Galaxy S6. But looks like Samsung is happy with the response to edged version and continue with it. There are also reports that Samsung will launch a foldable display phone next year named as Galaxy X.

Smart Glow Ring to be part of S8:

Samsung has Incorporated a Smart Glow Ring feature in the new J2 phone. It is a LED light around the rear camera which glow in different colors to inform you about notifications. It might also be used for heart rate sensor and other advanced technologies in Galaxy S8. 

Galaxy S8 will have Eye scanner:

As per new leaks, Galaxy S8 will have an iris scanner which will let you unlock the phone by scanning your eyes instead of fingerprint. 

Galaxy S8 release date:

Expected release date of Galaxy S8 is 1st quarter of 2017. This could be either in February if Samsung unveils it at Mobile World Congress, the biggest event of mobile industry or in April, if Samsung held its own event.

S8 to feature 4K display:

A new report suggests that Galaxy S8 will feature a 5.5-inch 4K display. Well, that will be amazing. The virtual reality will actually become a thing in 2017 with 4K displays becoming common. 

Galaxy S8 camera will be a beast: 

A new week and new rumors, this time about the camera. A new report suggests that Galaxy S8 will feature a 24 MP rear camera. Now, that’s a beast. Galaxy S7’s camera is already ahead in the game and this 24 MP lens will surely take S series to the new level. We’ll have to wait and see. 

Amazing concept design: 

Although, Galaxy S8 is going to release next year, but this is not stopping the creative designers to imagine how the phone might look. Designer Steel Drake has designed a very cool concept design of Samsung Galaxy S8.
