The Galaxy S8 will be presented only at the beginning of next year but it is already a lot of talk. While the Galaxy S7 and S7 the Edge had allowed Samsung to increase its profits in the first half of the year, the battery issues the Galaxy Note 7 will have been expensive and have not failed to tarnish his image. Expectations are very high with this new model. Here’s everything we know about it.
Note that it is for the moment only rumors that will be confirmed or not. This folder will be updated regularly.
A Galaxy S8 curved and this will be all ?
In the same way as it has done with its Galaxy Note 7, Samsung could use the Galaxy S8 only in version curved. Last August, the Galaxy S7 Edge is presented as the best-selling smartphone in the world in 2016, the evidence that Samsung has managed to impose this new form factor that begins to invite in the competition. Note that the Korean would offer two versions of its flagship smartphone, a 5.1-inch and the other 5.5 inches.
A 4K display Organic Blue for the virtual-reality
the evidence now suggests that the Galaxy S8 will be the first Samsung smartphone with a 4K display. The prospect of a definition of 3840 x 2160 pixels on a screen of 5.1 or 5.5-inch may seem completely crazy, however, the Korean is obviously decided to improve the virtual reality experience offered on its smartphones.
Note that this screen would be based on the technology of Bio-Blue, which allows you to view only 6% of blue light, compared with 32% for plates AMOLED classics. A technology designed to protect the user’s eyes which are very close to the smartphone when the latter is placed in a VR helmet.
An Exynos processor 8895 high-powered
Each new generation of smartphone is coming with a heap of power and the Galaxy S8 should not be an exception to the rule as it would be with a processor Exynos 8895. Recently tested on the benchmark tool, it gets a score of 7019 and 2301 points on testing multi core and single core Geekbench with a clock frequency of 3 Ghz, but it would appear that he may go up to 4 Ghz, therefore, it is likely to offer even more impressive results at full power.
Note that this new processor would display a fine engraving of 10 nms which should allow him to reach the heights in terms of power and autonomy. It would be coupled to the last GPU Mali-G71 ARM that is optimized for 4K and virtual reality, which offers 1.8 times the power of the graphics chip-GPU Mali-T880 MP12 of the Galaxy S7 and supports the API, Vulkan and the standards OpenGL ES 3.2, GPU Compute, and Android RenderScript.
A dual photo sensor to stay in the loop
If this year, the Korean manufacturer has preferred to focus on the quality with a photo sensor Dual-Pixel, 12 megapixel offering large photosites rather than follow the trend of the double photo sensors, the next year, it should reconcile the two. The Galaxy S8 would be expected with a dual camera, 12 + 13-megapixel camera. The sensor 12 MP would be designed by Samsung and the sensor 13 MP by Sony, two big names of the photo on mobile.
With a double sensor, it will be of course possible to adjust the depth-of-field, to produce stunning bokeh and capture great night photos. In addition, after proposing an aperture of f/1.9 on the S6 and f/1.7 on the S7, Samsung could still improve that part, and combined with a dual sensor camera could give spectacular results.
On the front, there should be a front-facing camera of 8 megapixels, not to mention the scanner from iris that Samsung has obviously decided to impose on all its future high-end appliances.
autonomy at the top
With a 4K display, Samsung has rather to propose an autonomy worthy of the name, at the risk to undergo numerous reviews from its customers. However, the first noises of the corridor suggests that the optimizations will be many. Engraved by 10 nanometers, the Exynos processor 8895 expected to the interior of the S8 is expected to propose a consumption controlled energy, which should not exceed 5 Watts. In addition, a recent leak suggests the possibility that this team of battery of 4200 mAh, well above the current average.
Price and release date
If Samsung follows its usual timetable, we should expect to see the arrival of its Galaxy S8 on the eve of the MWC 2017 on the 26th of February next. Some analysts agree, however, on the fact that he could make his arrival earlier than planned so as to make them forget about the recall’s massive Galaxy Note 7 related to its battery problems.
It still remains to be proved. In addition, even in the event of early exit, it is hard to imagine Samsung will pass on the benefits of the annual show. In contrast, the Korean could effectively advance its commercialization so as to limit the impact of the reminder in the Note 7 of its quarterly sales.
as For the price, a recent leak mentions a tariff of $ 850. Of course, it is still too early to say but with all the expected improvements, it is not impossible that Samsung reviews the price of its flagship to the increase.
