6GB RAM, 256GB Storage
China reports hint at Samsung boosting the Galaxy S8 with 6GB of RAM and 256GB internal storage, in line with Apple’s options, while reintroducing expandable storage for added flexibility. This change may upset users concerned about the removal of the MicroSD slot, omitted in prior models.
Autofocus Front Camera
Exciting camera upgrades for the Galaxy S8! Samsung is improving the selfie camera with autofocus, aiming to enhance image quality and potentially increase resolution from 5MP to 8MP.
Single Lens Camera
Samsung breaks away from competitors by opting for a single main camera in the Galaxy S8, diverging from dual-lens trends. The dual-lens might resurface in the Galaxy Note 8 or be exclusive to the larger 5.7-inch version of the S8 in future plans.
Enhanced 2K AMOLED Display
Recent reports suggest the Galaxy S8 will feature a 2K display, showcasing Samsung’s commitment to enhancing device quality with improved Super AMOLED technology.
Bezel-less Display
Samsung is innovating with the Galaxy S8, emphasizing design to rejuvenate their brand image. Reports hint at an edge-to-edge display and an embedded fingerprint scanner, catering to consumers seeking cutting-edge features and a sleek design.
Design of the Galaxy S8
Samsung plans to stick with the metal-glass design for the Galaxy S8 to uphold its premium look and feel. They are likely to keep the non-removable battery to maintain the aesthetics and water resistance, going against the industry trend of improving water resistance in smartphones.
Model Codes and Screen Specs
Samsung aims to make the curved edge display a signature feature in their S-series, introducing it in the Galaxy S8. Sizes may vary from 5.1″ to 5.5″, possibly larger at 5.7″ or 6.2″ to appeal to Note 7 users, reflecting Samsung’s shift to larger screens.
Exynos 8895 and Snapdragon 830 or 835
The Galaxy S8 will feature either the Exynos 8895 or Snapdragon 830/835 processors on the 10 nm process, offering improved image processing with ARM’s Mali-G71 GPU support. Expect 6 GB RAM for enhanced performance and multitasking.
4K Display
The Galaxy S8 boasts a powerful SoC and GPU for top-tier graphical performance, positioning it as a graphics powerhouse. Samsung’s strategy includes an improved Gear VR platform with a 4K UHD display for immersive VR on the larger S8 model and a Quad HD display on the smaller version.
Samsung plans to build on the success of the Galaxy S7’s camera with the Galaxy S8, looking into a 12 MP main camera and potentially a dual camera system. The focus is on enhancing camera functionality rather than increasing pixel count. The front camera may see an upgrade from 5 MP to 8 MP.
AI Assistant in Galaxy S8
Samsung is integrating Bixby, an AI assistant from Viv Labs Inc, to innovate their hardware. They prioritize seamless AI integration by adding a dedicated button for user interaction, showcasing Samsung’s dedication to cutting-edge technology.
Galaxy S8 Launch
Samsung might unveil the Galaxy S8 at MWC or delay the launch to April for testing, potentially impacting their market position. Precise feature polishing is crucial for the S8’s success, with the R&D team playing a vital role in delivering a flawless flagship.
