THE SAMSUNG Galaxy S8 will probably arrive only at the end of march, yet up to now if there is already talked. The Guardian, thanks to some inside sources with which he was able to speak exclusively, provides a much more complete and homogeneous than what could be the next top range of the Korean giant.
You part from the display, two Super-AMOLED QHD screen with double curvature which, however, should still be larger than what is offered by current models, and with an unusual format. In fact, it speaks of two models, 5.8 and 6.2-inch with the ratio 18,5:9. Moreover, the two panels should cover approximately 83% of the front surface of the two smartphones.
with regard To the heart of the two devices, despite apparently Samsung has had lots of SoC Qualcomm Snapdragon 835, so as to deprive other competitors of the opportunity to use them, the company seems willing to pursue the same policy of the last few years. On some markets, so they could get versions with the SoC Samsung Exynos. What is certain is that both will use the new production system is 10 nm, which should lead to improvements in performance (+11% for the processor, even +23% for the GPU), and the energy savings (20% of consumption in less).
The batteries should be respectively in the 3000 and 3500 mAh battery. The amount of RAM should be modified to 4 GB, while the minimum denomination for storage space, will be of 64 GB, expandable using microSD cards with a maximum capacity of 256 GB. On the bottom there will be a USB port C while in the top you will not miss the 3.5 mm audio jack.
regarding the cameras, while the rear one will keep the current sensor, 12-Megapixels, the front one will increase from 5 to 8 Megapixels. The first, however, he gains the ability to perform online searches: for example, shooting an object or a text you can choose whether to look for news or to check availability. On the front also, beside the camera, there should also be a sensor for the scanner of the iris, like the one that was present on the Note 7.
No news instead for the fingerprint sensor. In fact, despite having deleted the home button from the front, Samsung would not have adopted any new technology to integrate the functions below the display, but you would simply be limited to move it to the back, as they already do today, so many of the other models. The strange location – next to the camera instead of below – but that may not appeal to all.
Galaxy S8 finally, it should reserve some other news. First of all, despite the poor reception on the part of Google, it would seem that in the end the IA Bixby will still be present, and should also arrive to Samsung Dex, in practice, the interpretation Android Microsoft Continuum. Samsung should eventually bring on its top of the range also have something similar to the 3D Touch of Apple, even if it is not clear how it will be implemented and what is to be done.
As mentioned finally, the presentation should take place the next 29th of march, in New York, while the availability should start from the 21st of April. Unfortunately, however, both models of the Galaxy S8 will cost still more than the usual: it is expected an increase of about 100 euro, which should bring the model from 5.8 inches to cost 799 euros in the basic version and the one on the 6.2-inch starting from 899 euros.
