We know now everything, or almost, of the future Galaxy S8. The next high-end smartphone has been described in detail by Evan Blass, a journalist for Venture Beats known for the reliability of its information. It confirms – and crippled – the many rumours about the phone in recent months.

The screen sizes, first of all. Samsung would decline his mobile phone two diagonals of 5.8 and 6.2-inch, without increasing drastically the size of the device. To achieve this, the main button located usually at the bottom of the screen to be deleted.

This place would be so devoted to the screen that would occupy and 83 % of the front. This process would also change the ratio of the slabs that would be cut from 16:9 to a much more unusual 18,5:9. Finally, the two models would have a curved screen on the edges.

battery capacity

As this was also sensed, the Galaxy S8 is expected to use a new Samsung processor Exynos or a Snapdragon 835 according to its marketing area. The SoC of Qualcomm is expected as usual to be used on american models and chinese. Both will be engraved in the 10 nanometers.

Their energy efficiency will be central. The screen would be indeed be greater – thus more energy consumer – but the overall size of the device would not change a lot the power of the batteries, which would therefore be 3 000 and 3 500 mAh depending on the screen diagonal.

and The fingerprint sensor moved to the back

The RAM on the other hand would not be increased compared to the Galaxy S7 and would remain at 4 Gb of ram. The storage capacity should be increased : up to 64 Gb instead of 32, still expandable to 256 Gb additional through microSD card. The connectors would adopt the USB Type-C, while – foot, nose-to-Apple – jack would be preserved.

Without a button in front which would then be the fingerprint sensor ? Far innovate with a fingerprint recognition system built in to the screen as hoped, Samsung the déporterait just at the back of the device. Its location, right next to the photo objective, let us, however, doubtful. There is a risk to leave many fingerprints on the lens.

A dock with HDMI and the wizard Bixby

As stated in the Guardian a few days ago, an optional accessory would also connect the smartphone to a screen. One might as well control the keyboard and mouse, a desktop version of Android. This dock HDMI equivalent to the system Continuum, Microsoft would be baptized DeX.

Finally, there is still little detail on this subject, but the Galaxy S8 will be the first Samsung smartphone to integrate the new wizard of the brand. Bixby, inherited from the redemption of’viv (founded by the creators of Siri). A key located on one of the slices of the device it would even be specifically dedicated to them.

The Galaxy S8 is expected to be unveiled on march 29 by Samsung at a conference in new york. It would be marketed almost a month later, on 21 April, and the prices are still higher than those of the Galaxy S7, 799 and 899 euros depending on the screen diagonal.
