Samsung Galaxy S8 Leaks, Release Date: Mali-G71 GPU, improved battery expected; Available by April 2017?
Many believed that after the battery issues for the Samsung Galaxy Note 7, Samsung is making the Samsung Galaxy S8 one of the best phones the company has produced. Many fans are still waiting for an update, but numerous leaks and rumors about the new smartphone have been spreading online.
According to Mirror UK, the new Galaxy S8 will run with new processor chips inside. It says that there is a possibility that the new phone will use an Exynos 8895 processor coupled with a Mali-G71 GPU. This will make the phone almost twice as powerful as the Galaxy S7. It will also have 6GB of RAM and will be available in 64GB or 128GB memory.
Other site also suggests that the new smartphone will have a 5.2-inch 4K-capable display since Samsung is pushing into virtual reality. Having a powerful screen resolution can enhance the experience most especially when it is used with headsets like Samsung Galaxy Gear and Google Cardboard.
For other features, BGR reported that there are suggestions that state that Galaxy S8 will have a 30-megapixel back camera and a 9-megapixel front-facing camera. It will also feature improved security features like a fingerprint scanner and an iris scanner. In addition to that, the phone will also feature Corning Gorilla Glass 5.0 glass, wireless and rapid charging, and a built-in mini projector.
This may be too good to be true for a smartphone, but it was also said that it will have a 4,200 mAh battery. The increasing battery size has been a problem with the Galaxy Note 7. If these specs are placed inside the phone, many people think that possible battery problems may emerge.
As of writing, Samsung has yet to release the official release date for the Samsung Galaxy S8. But many believe that it will be available on the market by April 2017.
