Samsung Galaxy S8 Release Date, Specs, Rumors: Handset Tipped As Samsung’s First Ever To Get 4K UHD Display?

After the massive success of Samsung flagship smartphones "Galaxy S7" and "Galaxy S7 Edge," tech enthusiasts have already begun talking about what the tech giant might have in store for its next gen Galaxy S smartphone, possibly dubbed Samsung Galaxy S8.

There are reports which claim that Samsung will roll out two Galaxy S8 smartphones early next year, possibly dubbed "Galaxy S8" and "Galaxy S8 Edge." The handsets are rumored to feature 4K UHD display with a resolution of 3,840 x 2,160 pixels.

According to GSMArena, the S8 edge model will get a 5.5" screen. However, it remains unclear if the regular S8 model will match the edge in size or will be comparatively smaller. It is rumored that both the handsets will come packed with Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon 830 chipset paired with a massive 6GB of random access memory (RAM).

The Samsung Galaxy S8 handsets are expected to run Google's latest OS, Android Nougat right out of the box. Furthermore, if rumors about a possible 4K display is true, then it is for sure that Samsung will equip Galaxy S8 with a much bigger battery than its predecessor to keep the handset powered for more than a day. The smartphone will also reportedly feature a USB Type-C port for reversible, fast charging and quicker data transfers.

Patently Mobile reported that the Samsung Galaxy S8 might come with improved iris scanning technology with a new kind of triple-camera system. The new triple-camera system will scan and check the user's iris, eye structure as well as face to get an accurate read. In fact, there are also chances that the smartphones with feature two screens on either side of a 'built-in cover'.

As far as the Samsung Galaxy S8 release date is concerned, the handset is expected to make a debut at the Mobile World Congress event in February 2017.
