While, Samsung's highly anticipated Galaxy S8 is still months away from its rumored April 2017 release date, rumors about the handset's specs, features and pricing details have been floating ablaze. It is believed that after the Galaxy Note 7 phablets explosion issue, Samsung will leave no stone unturned to make the upcoming Galaxy S8 a fan favorite. If new reports are to be believed, Samsung's highly anticipated Galaxy S8 will come with a massive 30 mega pixel main camera.
According to TechRadar, a leaked Samsung Galaxy S8 specs list suggest that the handset will feature a 5.2-inch 4K display intended for use with VR, a 3.2GHz octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, 6GB of RAM coupled with 64GB or 128GB of storage memory, a 30-megapixel rear camera, a 9-megapixel front camera, a massive 4,200 mAh battery, a mini projector, dual micro SD card support, retina and fingerprint scanners as well as wireless and fast charging features.
Another report coming from SamMobile claims that the Samsung Galaxy S8 could come running an Exynos 8895 processor with ARM's new Mali-G71 GPU. If the report turns out to be true then the purported Galaxy S8 smartphone with the new GPU will be almost 1.8 times powerful than its popular predecessor Galaxy S7 which uses the Mali-T880 MP12 GPU. There are reports which claim the smartphone maker might include dual-lens cameras in its next phone and also its foldable display technology.
Previous rumors suggested that the handset will feature a new kind of triple-camera system, improved iris scanning technology, Android 7.1 Nougat and a USB Type-C port for reversible, fast charging and quicker data transfers. Samsung is expected to release two Galaxy S8 variants same like "Galaxy S7" and "Galaxy S7 Edge". The handsets have been internally codenamed Dream and Dream2 and bear model numbers SM-G950 and SMG955 respectively.
The Samsung Galaxy S8 is rumored to get a whopping $850 price tag. As far as Samsung Galaxy S8 release date is concerned, the smartphone is likely to get announced at the Mobile World Congress February 2017 event. Readers are advised to take the information with a big grain of salt as nothing yet has been officially announced by the makers.
