Practically every day we wake up with new rumors about the new Samsung Galaxy S8, which precisely if those rumors do not fail we will know officially within the framework of the Mobile World Congress that will start in a few days in Barcelona. According to some rumors, the new Samsung flagship will be available on the market in the first days of April.
If we had created a blackboard in the purest style of some of the most famous researchers in the world, today we would have a wall full of papers with all the rumors and leaks that have been appearing. To put them in order we are going to make a full x-ray to the Samsung Galaxy S8 with all the rumors and leaks publishedAre you ready, research partner?
The screen will have almost no frames, and could be flat or curved
Regarding the design of the Galaxy S8, we have seen a huge amount of leaked images, as often happens in these cases, some that appear to be totally false, but which have nevertheless become news. Among those that we could consider as real, it can be concluded that we will see a screen that will have almost no frames and that will occupy almost the entire front part.
The screen type will revert to a AMOLED, as usual in Samsung devices, and if we let ourselves be guided by the latest leaks, we will not see the traditional Home button, which could be integrated into the screen or located on the back.
One of the issues to be resolved is that of the anatomy of the screen, and that is that if at first it was said that all Galaxy S8s will be able to mount a curved screen, now it seems that we could only see a flat screen, without a gap for a edge version. Of course, seeing the success that the Galaxy S7 edge has had in the market, it is difficult to think that Samsung is going to put aside its curved screens so easily.
In the last hours this video has appeared on the network of networks, where the Galaxy S8 seems to have escaped Samsung;
Larger screen size, but same dimensions
In relation to what we have just seen, we cannot stop talking about the possibility that the new Galaxy S8 offers us a larger screen. Until now Samsung had gotten us used to seeing terminals with screens with a diagonal of 5.5 inches. The next terminal of the South Korean company could hit the market in two different versions, one with a 5.7-inch screen and a larger one with 6.2 inches.
In the first case, the device would not grow to a large extent compared to its little brother, the Samsung Galaxy S7 edge and the dimensions would be very similar thanks to the almost total use of the front and the already mentioned disappearance of the Home button. the front of the device.
The double camera will only be present in the "Plus" model
As we have already mentioned there could be two different versions of the Galaxy S8, a "normal" version with a 5.7-inch screen and another “Plus” version with a 6.2-inch screen that could make a difference by incorporating a double camera, just as Apple did with its iPhone 7 Plus.
At the moment we know very few details about this double camera, but without a doubt it would be a most interesting option, seeing the results that can be achieved, for example, with this iPhone 7 Plus camera. Now we have to wait to see if Samsung incorporates it, it seems, in a single version of the Galaxy S8 or finally decides to offer it on all its new mobile devices, something that would undoubtedly be very appreciated.
The S Pen will not only be a matter of the Galaxy Note
One of the great attractions that the Galaxy S8 could offer us is the possibility of using the S Pen, which until now we had only been able to use in the Galaxy Note, which as we all know does not go through its best moment after the problems that made the Galaxy Note 7 had to be withdrawn from the market.
Of course, at the moment the S Pen, or at least according to rumors, will not be integrated into the device, as if it happens in the Galaxy Note, and we must purchase as one more accessory, also having to take care of it so as not to lose it by not being able to save it on the device, something that would certainly have been really convenient.
What functionalities will the S Pen of the Galaxy S8 give us is currently a great unknown, which like many others we will clear in just a few days when Samsung officially presents its new flagship.
Bixby, Samsung's new voice assistant
Samsung is ready to officially present its new and own voice assistant, which we will see for the first time in the Galaxy S8. At the moment we know it by the name of BixBy, although it might not be the official name with which it broke into the market.
This new voice assistant will be very similar to the Google Assistant that is available on the Google Pixel or Siri on the iPhone. Once again we will have to wait to see if BixBy lives up to the challenge and comes out victorious in a face-to-face match against the many voice assistants currently available on the market.
More performance in almost every way
How could it be otherwise, the Samsung Galaxy S8 will also improve in terms of performance. Once again in this aspect there are great doubts, but everything indicates that the new flagship of the South Korean company would mount a snapdragon 835 processor, although we will also see a version with the Exynos 8895 processor. In either case, some leaks suggest that this new Smartphone will be 1.8 times more powerful than the Galaxy S7 edge.
Regarding RAM, rumors suggest that it would have 6GB of RAM, although there is also speculation that it could be released on the market as one of the first devices of the so-called high-end range with 8GB of RAM.
Water and dust resistant
The Galaxy S7 in its two versions was presented on the market with the attraction of being resistant to water and dust, to be able to use it even in less than ideal conditions. The new Galaxy S8 will again have the IP68 certification, something that will allow us to use it anywhere and that is undoubtedly a great advantage for all users who will not have to worry about rainwater, taking it to the beach or dropping a glass of water on us.
The Galaxy S8 can be used as if it were a computer
One of the new features that the Galaxy S8 will offer us, and undoubtedly the most interesting, will be the possibility of using this new device as if it were a computer, very much in the style of what Microsoft offered us with Contiuum and its Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL.
Baptized as "Samsung Desktop Experience" It will allow us to plug our device into a screen and work as if it were a computer. All this at the moment is an unconfirmed rumor by Samsung, although we have seen several leaks about this new functionality that lead us to think that the South Korean company is actively working on it, although absolutely nothing has been confirmed. Depending on the degree of development, we may see it in the new Galaxy S8 or we may have to wait for new terminals.
We can buy it in April
At first it was announced that due to the problems suffered by the Galaxy Note 7, related to the battery, the Galaxy S8 could suffer a delay in its presentation and launch on the market. This seems to finally not be the case and we can officially meet the new Samsung flagship in the Mobile World Congress that will start in just a few days in Barcelona.
However also there are other rumors that suggest that the new smartphone could be presented next April and be launched that same month on the market. At the moment Samsung has not yet begun to send the invitations for the Unpacked, something that is undoubtedly suspicious given the proximity to the MWC. Of course, very soon we will be able to find out whether we will see him in Barcelona or we will have to wait a few more weeks.
Regarding the price that the Galaxy S8 could have at the moment, no information has transpired, although many experts have already ventured to announce that it could be a device with a very high price, clearly standing as the most expensive Android terminal on the market, and very close to the price of Apple's iPhone 7 Plus today.
