The recall of Galaxy Note 7 makes Samsung face the financial damage as well as reputation. That might be the reason why this company will launch the next phone of Galaxy S series (Galaxy S8) sooner than usual. So, let’s have a look at this phone. About the design, the company will still use the combination of glass and metal on S8 like S7 and S7 Edge. The noticeable thing is that there will be no flat-screen display version anymore. Galaxy S8 will only come with a curved-screen display model.
In terms of Samsung Galaxy S8 specs, it will be powered by SND 830 (or at least 821) chipset for the US, and Exynos 8893 for the international version. It could pack 4/6GB of RAM paired with 32GB of inbuilt storage, with the option to expand. This new device might come in 2 screen size versions: 5.1 inches and 5.5 inches. Both versions will have a Super AMOLED 4K Ultra HD display with great pixel density (about 831 – 847ppi). With this display, S8 could probably be used with Daydream VR project of Google.
One of the most impressive of Galaxy S8 specs is its cameras. With this new flagship, Samsung is reported to add a dual camera on the back of S8. These two cameras will have 2 different sensors. One will come with a 12MP Samsung sensor, the other will be 13MP Sony sensor. On the front, you’ll find an 8MP snapper. This device will run on Android Nougat. Of course, the high-end Galaxy S8 will feature an iris scanner on the front like Note 7.

So, let’s see if this phone can go beyond our expectations.
