After all, the device is equipped with many additional features compared to previous models. Samsung Corporation is a global manufacturer of luxury smartphones that are distinguished by performance and quality. This time the developers promise to reach new level and truly surprise us. Whether they succeed or not, you will find out from today's review.
The Galaxy S8 mobile device will be the third model in the S line, which is capable of taking high-quality photos, has powerful hardware, an innovative display and an impressive volume random access memory. We invite you to watch a short video review of the Samsung Galaxy S8.
Screen
According to preliminary information, it became known that the smartphone will be produced in several versions - standard and Plus version. They will be equipped with 5.1 and 5.5 inch displays. We all know that Galaxy S7 has a screen with QHD resolution. This is more than enough for a smartphone. However, the developers don't think so. They decided to go further and surprise the consumer.
The Galaxy model will acquire 4K screen. Many may think that this is too much for a smartphone, but this is not the case when it comes to VR (glasses virtual reality). The device will have a resolution of 2160x3840 and a pixel density per inch of 806. Fans of mobile gaming will have access to games in HDR and 3D through VR glasses. Many have been waiting for this for a long time.
Users liked a special innovation in the released S7 smartphone, namely the Always On Display function. The display always works with minimal backlight. The AOD function will be greatly improved in the S8 series. You will be able to activate widgets.
Design
Skeptics made the wildest speculations about this. Some said the concept would have a foldable body, citing insider claims. Moreover, many argued that not only the phone’s body would fold, but also its screen. This statement was not groundless, since this technology Patented by Samsung Corporation.
After the presentation of the Galaxy S8, all myths and mysterious statements were dispelled. It became clear that the device would have a classic shape, but with its own improvements. The corners of the smartphone will be slightly smoothed, this will make it more comfortable to hold in your hands. Aluminum inserts will appear on the sides, which will give the phone some solidity and presentability. The model will be much thinner and will have a powerful camera that is capable of high-speed shooting and high-definition photos.
There will be several available color variations:
- Black Onyx;
- Gold Platinum;
- Silver Titanium;
- White Pearl.
Every color looks great.
Characteristics of iron
According to the information provided by insiders, it became known that the device will be produced in two variations:
- For distribution in the United States, the model will have an 8-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 830, clocked at 3.2 GHz.
- The version for the rest of the world, and the one that will be available in Russia, will receive an Exynos 8895, 3 GHz processor, which was developed and released quite recently.
These characteristics show that the device’s power consumption will decrease significantly, and the graphics chip will become 75% faster. These are quite impressive figures for a mobile device.
Moreover, there have long been rumors that Samsung is actively negotiating with AMD and Nvidia corporations to use their components in their devices. If new phone The Galaxy S8 will be equipped with one of these chips, it will provide a significant performance boost.
Regarding the amount of RAM used, it will be 6 GB high-speed memory, which is enough for working with complex applications.
Battery and camera
Reliable information has emerged that the camera matrix will have a resolution of 12 MP Dual Pixel and it will do a good job with photos. The aperture has also undergone some changes, naturally, for the better F 1.6.
The optional camera will not only take bright and clear photos, but also record video in 4K resolution at 60 fps.
The front camera also has decent characteristics - 7 MP, f 1.6 QHD resolution.
Regarding the battery, it will have a capacity of 3500 mAh.
Additional features
Among the important innovations:
- Iris Scanner. This feature will keep your files even more secure. Thanks to the retinal scanner, only you will have access to the information stored in your smartphone.
- Water Resistant IP Now the gadget is not afraid of moisture.
There are also others additional features, which will become known after the release of this smartphone model.
Price
There is only one question: how much does the phone cost? A reasonable opinion is that the price of the new model will be $100 more expensive than the S7 at the start of sales.
Regarding the price in Russia, according to preliminary estimates, the cost will be RUB 54,000. Naturally, these calculations do not take into account the collection of duties. The smartphone is not too cheap.
release date
The presentation is expected on March 29. The planned release of the new model will take place in the second quarter of 2017. It follows from this that this smartphone will appear in Asian markets at the beginning of April.
In Russia, the start of sales of S8 is scheduled for end of April 2017. As you can see, you don't have long to wait. We hope you are interested in the gadget.
Conclusion
A device for lovers of innovation and progressive. The phone is capable of handling complex tasks, including HDR gaming.
Advantages: a camera that takes bright photos, a screen with 4K resolution, 6 GB of RAM, a unique design of the device. I would also like to mention the waterproof case. Now the phone is not afraid of moisture.
To be honest, the advantages of the new model are impressive. What about the shortcomings, because there certainly are. The only one is the price.

In this article, we are pleased to bring you the latest rumors and facts about technical specifications, release date and price Samsung Galaxy S8- one of the most anticipated smartphones of 2017. For convenience, use the article navigation.
Update 10/08/2016. According to unofficial data, the Galaxy S8 will have a curved display on all four sides.
Update 10/07/2016. Information has emerged that the S8 may have a 4K resolution screen, 6 GB of RAM and a 30-megapixel camera.
You can follow the updates of the article in our Twitter And VK group.
Samsung Galaxy S8 release date
Traditionally, Samsung announces smartphones Galaxy lines S at the Mobile World Congress, which starts annually on February 27. Most likely, the S8 will be presented to the public on this day.
As for the appearance on the shelves, new items from this line appeared on sale in the spring, from March to April.
Also, some sources report that Samsung intends to maximize the gap between the releases of the Galaxy S and Note models. If this is true, then you will be able to purchase the Galaxy S8 almost immediately after the announcement.
Having summarized all the rumors and facts, we conclude that the most likely date Samsung release Galaxy S8— March 2017.
Display
According to foreign insiders, Samsung plans to release the Galaxy S8 in two versions, with 5.1 and 5.5 inch screens.
Permission
The previous model in the Galaxy S7 line has a display with QHD resolution. This is more than enough for a smartphone, but for use as a VR headset screen, this resolution is far from the limit.
In this regard, the Galaxy S8 should have a 4K resolution display, especially since in 2016 year Samsung has already demonstrated a prototype of a 5.5-inch screen with a resolution of 2160 x 3840 and a density of 806 pixels per inch. No device with this screen was presented, so it is possible new model will be equipped with it.
In addition, some sources report a possible UHD resolution, but this seems unlikely.
Display functionality
The Always On Display (AOD) feature, which debuted with the Galaxy S7, allows you to view the time and notifications on the lock screen without pressing the power button or double tapping it to activate it. The display remains dimly lit all the time, but despite this, the charge is spent much less than constantly activating the screen.
Thus, using Always On Display not only improves the convenience and performance of working with a smartphone, but also reduces battery consumption.
The AOD function will certainly be improved in the Samsung Galaxy S8. For example, it should be possible to add any widgets to the screen.
Design
There is no consensus on the design of the Galaxy S8 yet.
Some sources, citing existing Samsung patents, suggest that the smartphone may be foldable. At the same time, not only the body will fold, but also the screen, which, when unfolded, will take the usual flat shape. On the conceptual Galaxy photo S8 below, you can see the phone in all three states.
While it looks cool, we don't think it's likely that this untested technology will make it to the S8. If a foldable phone is released in 2017, it's unlikely to debut on a flagship model.
If Samsung decides to keep the body shape flat, it will still have to make changes to the design, because people want something new. In this case, the phone's body will become thinner than that of the Galaxy S7, and will also have edges curved on all sides.
As for the body material, then best option than a combination of metal and glass, manufacturers serial smartphones haven't figured it out yet. It would be stupid to refuse to use them in the Galaxy S8.
Iron
According to rumors Samsung version Galaxy S8 for sale in the US will be equipped with an eight-core Qualcomm processor Snapdragon 830 with a clock speed of 3.2 GHz, and the version for the rest of the world with an Exynos 8895 processor with a frequency of 3 GHz.
The Exynos 8895 is expected to have very low power consumption and the integrated graphics chip will be 70% faster than its predecessor, the Exynos 8890 processor.
In addition, there is information that Samsung is negotiating the creation of graphics chips with Nvidia and AMD. Switching to chips from one of these companies could give smartphones significant performance boosts. This extra power will really come in handy if Galaxy phone The S8 will have a 4K display and will be used as a screen for VR.
As for RAM, all sources indicate a capacity of 6 GB.
Camera and battery
Information has emerged that Samsung is working on a new camera, the matrix of which will have a resolution in the range of 18-24 megapixels. The aperture will be wider than that of the Galaxy S7 camera (F/1.4 versus F/1.7). These improvements will allow the camera to capture more detailed images than previous models in the line.
Several sources report a dual-lens camera of 12 MP and 13 MP. At the same time, the manufacturer of one will be Samsung, and the other Sony. It’s too early to say how accurate these rumors are, but given the fact that mobile market Several devices with a similar solution have already appeared (Huawei P9, LG G5), the presence of a dual camera in the Galaxy S8 is more than likely.
In addition, there are rumors of a 30-megapixel camera with optical image stabilization.
As for the battery capacity of the Galaxy S8, according to preliminary data, it will be 4200 mAh, which is almost 30% more than that of the Galaxy S7.
Additional features
The list of additional functions that will most likely be implemented in Galaski C8 is at this moment does not shine with originality. So far we are only talking about an iris scanner, a fingerprint scanner, a waterproof case and a connector USB Type-C.
All this has already been implemented in other models, and to be honest, I would like to see something unique in the new flagship of 2017. One of these innovations could be a mini-projector built into the body of a smartphone, but for now, its appearance seems unlikely.
Galaxy S8 price
There is an opinion that the price of the Samsung Galaxy S8 at the start of sales will be about $100 higher than the Galaxy S7. Thus, the cost of the new item will be about $850.
As for the price of the Galaxy S8 in Russia, given the uncertainty with the dollar exchange rate in 2017, it is too early to talk about it. At the current exchange rate it comes out to about 54,000 rubles. And this does not include fees and duties. Therefore, it will be possible to say exactly how much the Galaxy S8 costs only after the announcement.
For now, this is all we know about the release date, specifications and price of the Samsung Galaxy S8. The article will be updated as new information becomes available. Follow the news on Twitter and the VK group.
If you have anything to add, please write it in the comments.
The new Samsung flagship will be released in two versions: Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus. They will differ only in the display diagonal and body size - 5.8 and 6.2 inches. The design and features are the same for both models. Photos of the smartphone have long appeared on the Internet:
This is an unusual move for the company. The last two generations of flagships consisted of two main models: the “simple” Galaxy S7/S6 and versions with a curved display with the Edge prefix. Now both smartphones, Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus, will have a curved display at the edges.
Frame
Both Galaxy S8 models will have a glass body on a metal frame. The glass will be curved on both sides for a more comfortable grip; a similar solution appeared in Galaxy Note 7.
The new Samsung flagship will be a new step in the design of the Galaxy line. By the eighth generation, the company will abandon the physical and touch control buttons under the display and make them on-screen. Due to the freed up space under the display, it was possible to increase the display diagonal and reduce the frames.
However, due to the abandonment of the physical Home button, we had to find a new place for the fingerprint scanner. It was moved to back panel, to the right of the camera module.
It will also appear on the left side of the body additional key to call the Bixby pocket assistant. Otherwise, the Galaxy S8 is similar to the company's previous smartphones. The general design features are recognizable.
The Galaxy S8 case will inherit IP68 protection from its predecessors. He assumes full protection from the penetration of dust and small particles into the case, as well as protection from water when immersed at 1.5 meters for half an hour.
Screen
The display in the Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus will be more elongated in height - the aspect ratio is 18.5:9 versus the standard 16:9. This allows you not to increase the width of the smartphone body with a larger diagonal. The same Galaxy S8 Plus will be narrower in width than the iPhone 7 Plus by almost 4 mm. Although the Galaxy has a 0.7-inch larger display.
Comparison of dimensions of Galaxy S8 / S8 Plus and iPhone 7 / 7 Plus
Traditionally new Galaxy will receive Super AMOLED displays. The resolution is the same for both models - 2560x1440 pixels. Part of the screen will be occupied by on-screen control buttons, but they will be hidden in multimedia applications and games.
Filling
The Galaxy S8 will have two different processors and , depending on the market. For example, all models with dual SIM cards will run on Snapdragon, and Exynos-powered smartphones will not come to the United States.
There will be 4 GB of RAM, however, there have been rumors about a special version with 6 GB. The base model will have 64 GB of internal memory. Plus there will be a slot for microSD memory cards.
Cameras
The resolution of the main and front cameras will remain the same - 12 and 8 megapixels. The aperture of both lenses is the same - f1.7 for all smartphones. The remaining characteristics of the cameras are still unknown.
Galaxy S8 will receive a new module Sony cameras IMX333. Perhaps the new product will receive support for slow-motion video shooting at a frequency of up to 1000 frames per second, as well as Sony Xperia XZ Premium.
An iris scanner will appear on the front panel, like in Note 7. The smartphone will be able to identify the owner by sight even in the dark.
Bixby Assistant
It is already officially known that Samsung's new voice assistant will appear for the first time in the Galaxy S8. To work with it, they even allocated a special button on the body (on the left side).
Samsung promises that Bixby will be able to completely replace all commands performed through the touch display. The assistant can understand the context voice command and does not work with specific query wording, you can use synonymous phrases.
In this article you will learn about the release date of the Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus, and you will also learn about the characteristics, prices and capabilities of the new flagships.
Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus will be released this spring. However, the fewer days left before the announcement of the flagships, the more information about them appears on the Internet.

Korean news site ET News reports that to meet early demand for the S8 flagships, 12.5 million units will be produced in March and April. Of those 12.5 million, 7.1 million will be the 5.8-inch version, and 5.4 million will be the 6.2-inch version. These numbers, if true, show that the smaller device is projected to be more popular among consumers. Moreover, these figures also show that the S8 is expected to be much more attractive to consumers than its predecessor S7, which sold around 10 million units in its first 20 days.
Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus: memory options
IHS Research Director Kevin Wang claims that the 6GB RAM version of the S8 will only be available for sale in China, and that it will only be sold with 4GB RAM everywhere else. Samsung hasn't confirmed this, so we'll have to wait and see what happens after the announcement.

According to the Dutch site Androidworld, pre-orders for the Galaxy S8 and S8 will be available in the Netherlands on the day of the official launch (which will take place on March 29), giving European customers the opportunity to get their hands on the device much earlier than others.
Other sites have also reported that pre-orders will be available much earlier than in stores, giving fans even more incentive to pre-order the S8. There's no word yet on when pre-orders will be available for Russian smartphone consumers, although we should expect them to be available for pre-order around the same time as in Korea.
Korean news site Investor reports that Samsung will introduce subsidy plans earlier than usual during the pre-order period, which will be from April 7 to 17. Pre-ordered devices can be available from as early as April 18 until the official release on April 21.

Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus: technical specifications at a glance
Rumors about the technical characteristics of the S8 and S8 Plus are quite consistent and do not have much controversy. Thus, we have summarized them in the following table to give you an overview of the device.
Since the above information is based on rumors and leaks, the actual specifications can only be confirmed after the official release of the S8 and S8 Plus.
Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus: camera
For generations, Samsung Galaxy S smartphones have had good cameras. The camera became a highlight in 2016, but the competition has since caught up. Samsung should make more modifications to the camera of the Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus. The camera needs improvement, especially in low light conditions. However, Samsung won't be making any big steps forward or jumping two heads higher in camera specs for the S8 or S8 Plus.
Recent rumors indicate that the rear camera is 12MP. A report on Korean news site Naver states that the camera will be able to shoot video at 1000 fps by adding a camera to the sensor DRAM ( buffer memory) . Their source said it can capture a frame eight times faster than the iPhone 7 (120 frames per second).
An 8-megapixel front camera will also be available for high-quality selfie shots. This will be a nice upgrade from the previous 5-megapixel ones on the S6, S7 and Note 5. There are also rumors that the front camera will feature autofocus. For the rear cameras on both smartphones, Samsung has come up with a way to make them small enough that they don't protrude from the smartphone by mounting the actuator on the side of the lens rather than in the middle.
The competition is fierce and camera improvements are urgently needed. Most importantly, there should be improvements in low light and artifacts JPEG compression. A dual camera isn't necessary, but unless major improvements happen, the S8's camera will be one of 2017's weaker cameras.
Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus: display
The two flagships will most likely be equipped with Egde displays, and if we talk about inches, the S8 will have 5.8 inch screen, and the S8 Plus is 6.2-inch. The resolution on both smartphones will be 2960x1440.
There are rumors that both smartphones will have AMOLED screens, but this is a rumor, as they say, the latest, and it is unlikely to be true.
Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus: Software
Up until this point, we didn't know much about possible software changes or changes that the Galaxy S8 might bring with it. Although we've heard that the S8 will have some general functions such as IP86 security technology (which makes the device waterproof) and a fingerprint scanner - we found no leaks related to the interface or icon design. Thanks to the new screenshots we got good review how the launcher and icons look Galaxy apps S8.
The screenshots below were taken by "Durim"— and originally appeared on SamMobile, which we discovered in the APK latest version Smart apps Switch from Samsung. The overall look is simple and minimalist with rounded and stylized icons, a trend we've seen adopted more and more over the years.
Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus: audio and other interfaces
Apple ditched the headphone jack with the iPhone 7, but Samsung won't go that route. Although the Galaxy S8 will have USB port Type-C, and therefore the 3.5 mm port will not disappear anywhere, and will not be replaced by another.
Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus: battery, processor and RAM
The new Snapdragon 835 chipset will be manufactured on Samsung's 10nm FinFET processing technologies, and it is very likely that this processor will be used in the US Galaxy versions S8. Snapdragon processor The 835 will be much more efficient in terms of performance and system capabilities than the previous Snapdragon 820 model. The 835 processor contains 4 cores that run at 2.45 GHz and 4 efficiency cores that run up to 1.9 GHz. In addition, there will be a built-in graphics adapter Adreno 540, which promises 25 percent improved performance and HDR support.
As for the Galaxy S8 smartphones sold in other markets, they are rumored to come with an Exynos processor, which was previously dubbed as the 8895 model. It is now suspected to be called the Exynos 9810 (from the Exynos 9 series). The use of a different processor in the smartphone market does not come as a surprise as producing devices with different chipsets is not something new for the Korean smartphone giant.
The SoC in question will do better than the 8890 that powers the S7 and Note 7. An Exynos processor that is said to be capable of up to 4GHz speeds, which would provide a 30% performance improvement on the Exynos 8890 found in the Galaxy S7 (in some regions) , if the rumored claims are accurate. The chipset uses the latest graphics ARM processor Mali-G71, which is rumored to be 1.8 times faster than GPU MPI Mali-T880 MP12 found in Galaxy S7.
The Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus will have 64GB of internal storage linked to a fast UFS 2.1 interface. The MicroSD slot remains. There may also be a variant that has 128GB of storage.
The Note 7 battery has put the South Korean smartphone giant at risk. You can expect Samsung to endure all the shutdowns to ensure the Galaxy S8 shuts down without a hitch. Thus, the Galaxy S8 will most likely have a 3000 mAh battery, and the S8 Plus will have a 3.6 thousand mAh battery.
Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus: design
The specifications are mostly known, and thanks to a series of leaks, the design of the device is close to being confirmed.
With just hearing sizes in mind, it's hard to imagine how the size of the S8 and S8 Plus will compare to other devices. But now we know what the size differences are between the S8 and S8 Plus, and we've also compared them to other phones, including the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus. At 159x74mm, the S8 Plus will be slightly larger than the iPhone 7 Plus, but also slightly smaller.
Here are some of the latest images to emerge from the Samsung Galaxy S8, clearly showing the home screen and the dimensions of the new flagship device.
New features and functions on S8 and S8 Plus
Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus: S Pen and possible PC mode
Samsung may introduce the S8 with some accessories. Sammobile says the device may have an S Pen, but it won't have its own storage slot in the device for connectivity. It is also possible that Samsung will be able to supply new wireless headphones with the device.
Samsung may also be working on a competitor to Microsoft's Continuum, according to AllAboutWindowsPhone.com. This technology will allow the smartphone to extend to the external display and use such peripherals like keyboard and mouse. This way it will function the same as desktop computer, and in the picture we can see that it looks like Chrome OS.
Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus: iris scanner
The Galaxy S8 will likely come with an iris scanner.
The Iris scanner offers an additional layer of security that cannot be tampered with, and the API will allow third party applications use Iris scanner to enable users to unlock important files.
A leading Korean advertising portal has released a new teaser video that seems to hint at an iris scanner. The video contains a maze and an eyeball, and there is no other explanation for it other than a hint from the iris scanner. You can watch it, but please note that to view it you need Adobe Flash Player.
According to a report by Korean news site Naver, an official said the S8 will come with a 3.7MP front-facing camera for iris scanning.
Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus: facial recognition
In addition to the aperture scanner, Korea Economic Daily reported that the S8 will feature facial recognition. This additional security feature is also meant to improve convenience as it will take less than 0.01 seconds to unlock the phone according to their source, which was an unnamed Samsung official. Apparently prototypes are already being tested.
However, facial recognition will serve more than just unlocking your phone. According to a Bloomberg report, facial recognition will also be used to Samsung Pay in addition to fingerprint and iris scanning. Their source also says Samsung is working with banks to help them implement the technology in the coming months.
Conclusion: Almost all details are known by the end
Samsung has put security in place to prevent leaks, but it apparently doesn't work very well. Currently, almost all the details of the S8 and S8 Plus are known. There is some uncertainty hanging around the software features, but everything has been said about the hardware specifications.
