Galaxy S8 Edge with 4K screen
Moments after Samsung officially confirmed that it is stopping the production of Note 7 and halts all the sales, the first realistic Galaxy S8 rumors have started.
According a leak on the Weibo social network there will be two variants of the Galaxy S8 – the 5.1-inch and 5.5 inch. We are quite sure that the 5.5-inch version comes with the edge shaped screen and it is likely to be imaginatively called Samsung Galaxy S8 Edge.
According to the leak, both versions of the S8 will use Super Amoled screens. The 5.1 version comes with a QHD (2560x1440) while the 5.5 version might come with a 4K display.
As we indicated before there will be two processers powering the Galaxy S8 phones. One is Qualcomm Snapdragon 830 while the other is Exynos 8895. The Snapdragon 830 can be safely called the 10nm successor of Snapdragon 820. The Exynos 8895 should use the same process.
It is likely that Samsung will offer Exynos powered phones in European market and leave us with less attractive modem. The US and some other markets will end up with the better Qualcomm variant.
The Galaxy S8 comes with two main cameras, that is a current trend for the high end phones and it will incorporate the UFS 2.1 flash storage.
One not so surprising announcement that the Samsung's S Voice might be replaced by the Viv assistant . Samsung just acquired Viv – the digital assistant that was created by one of the people who gave the world Siri.
Most of the leaked information make sense, but again, we will have to wait and see if the information is really accurate. It would make a lot of sense to see Galaxy S8 phones with the specifications mentioned above. Some colleagues are confident that the phone might launch on February 26 2017. We are confident the launch might take a place a day or two before the Mobile World Congress 2017 that takes place in Barcelona and starts on 27 February 27.
