After Galaxy Note 7 fiasco, all eyes are on Samsung’s upcoming flagship smartphone, evidently named as Galaxy S8. The smartphone has been doing rounds in the rumour mill for quite some time now and is considered as company’s hope to bring them back in business.
The smartphone has been speculated in every possible aspect giving us an idea of what Samsung might have in the pipeline. The latest report suggests the adoption of a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 SoC paired with 6GB RAM and 256GB internal storage.
The company is also expected to use its in house Exynos 9 series chip for European and other markets. The Galaxy S8 is also speculated to be the first smartphone to integrate Quick Charge 4.0 fast charging.
If the rumours are to be believed, the smartphone will boast a dual camera setup, while there will be a pressure sensitive display just like Samsung’s rival Apple has used for its iPhone models. The device is expected to sport a curved 5.1-inch 2K Super AMOLED display, while the larger variant will have a 5.5-inch display with 4K display.
Samsung also recently acquired Viv labs, a Silicon Valley startup that is founded by the creator of Apple’s artificial intelligence ‘Siri’. This indicates that the next iteration of the Galaxy S series is most likely to feature an AI assistant.
