Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus are going to be announced in the next 3 weeks. What is special about these 2 expected newbies? We have summarized top 8 amazing features of these phones just for you to make a better decision.
1. Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus will have big display screens:
Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus will certainly continue to follow the trend of maximizing the device screens. No more excessive edge, top and bottom chins are expected. Although Sharp and Xiaomi were among the first to have the idea put on its devices, Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge must be the most popular with such a space-saving design. Samsung Galaxy S8 is likely to have a bigger screen/body size ratio than LG G6 despite the same sized displays. Galaxy S8 will be 148.9 x 68 x 8 mm and its brother version S8 Plus will be 159 x 74 x 8 mm.
2. High-resolution displays
Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus will have 5.8″ and 6.2″ screens curved, which gives you a 5.7″ and 6.1″ screens respectively. The resolution is said to be 1,400 by 2,960 pixels. The new Samsung S8 and S8 Plus will get an aspect ratio of roughly 18.5:9, which is narrower than the 18:9 Full Vision aspect ratio of LG G6. The 2 new phones will be HDR10-compliant and similar to Samsung Note 7 in terms of DCI-P3 color gamut.
3. fingerprint scanner
Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus will feature a rear-positioned fingerprint scanner, which was obviously seen in Huawei, Sony, or LG. The reason why is that Samsung is trying to remove the home button and some bezels on its Galaxy phones to save as much space as possible. Let’s wait until the official day to see if a fingerprint scanner would finally replace the signature home button on Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus.
4. Bixby smart assistant
Now that iOS, Windows, Google and Amazon all have their smart assistants, Samsung is supposed to have one on its new Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus. Rumors have been made about its Bixby assistant, which is given an own custom button. Samsung’s Bixby will be supported by the technology from Viv Labs whose several members had the experience working on Siri. Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus are said to have this assistant work on Samsung’s own S voice.
5. USB Type-C port
Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus will come with USB 3.1 Type-C ports, rather than the old microUSB slots, which make it more convenient for you to insert your charging cable. Wireless charging is highly expected to do the job, but a reversible USB port is a nice idea anyway.
6. Top-notch performance
Samsung has a huge desire that its new galaxy phones would successfully make a history comeback after its setback on the unlucky Galaxy S7. The key is to make sure Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus would come in the market as the first and best choice in terms of raw power and benchmark-crushing. These phones US versions will not be powered by 2.2GHz Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 835 but an equally-impressive 2.5GHz Exynos 8895 chip.
7. Iris scanner and face recognition
Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus will hopefully be a better chance for Samsung to introduce its biometric sensor again after it’s run on Galaxy Note 7 without any recognition. Samsung S8 and S8 Plus will probably have another locking feature of facial recognition because Iris sensor is said to be on the slow side on the Galaxy Note 7.
8. Higher price tag
Of course, with all the new and outstanding features combined, Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 Edge will not come with a small price tag. It is said to cost no less than €799 ($847) for a 64GB Galaxy S8 and €899 ($953) for the Galaxy S8 Plus. The official confirmation will not be made until March 29, 2017.
