Samsung Galaxy S8 Specs, Release Date, And Price: No Headphone Jack, No Home Button, And Delayed Release ?

Samsung Galaxy S8 updated specs are the tech giants hope of winning back the lost customers. Samsung had a forgetful 2016 because of the Note 7 fire fiasco followed by the recall and complete discontinuation of the device.

Samsung Galaxy S8 is a highly anticipated device with several rumors buzzing around. Samsung Galaxy S8 release date is speculated to be around the first week of March at the Mobile World Congress. The MWC will take place in Barcelona from February 27 to March 2.

The most talked about the S8 specs has been the bezel-less design. Galaxy S8 will boast an "all screen" design. The display will be AMOLED with 2K Ultra HD resolution. The display will occupy more than 90 percent of the front end of the phone, as reported by BGR.

The physical home button will not be seen in the Galaxy S8. It will be replaced with a virtual button at the lower half of the phone. The fingerprint sensor will also go virtual.

The Samsung Galaxy S8 headphone jack will no longer exist. According to the latest reports, the Galaxy S8 will cease to feature a headphone jack. This news has left several Samsung fans fuming. Experts believe this is a bad move as users love Samsung for being Samsung and not for copying Apple, as reported by The Indian Express.

The Samsung Galaxy S8 spec will also include a virtual assistant called Viv. The AI-powered assistant will work similar to Siri and Alexa. The S8 will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 chipset which is expected to make S8 one of the most powerful Android device on the market.

The Samsung Galaxy S8 price in the US is expected to be $850 and $900 for the S8 edge. Some rumors suggest that S8 will also be available for pre-order two weeks before the release date.
