Samsung Galaxy S8 to be unveiled on March 29th
Both feature USB type-C 3.1 slots with the larger tablet featuring a second slot.
In other news, Samsung confirmed that faulty batteries from two suppliers were to blame for flaws in the Galaxy Note 7 that wiped $5.3 billion off its operating profit.
But as luck and leaks would have it, that doesn’t mean we don’t get to see the new phone at all. The video gave us a quick peek since the clip is very short. It makes us appreciate the upcoming phone’s dazzling design. Its flowing curves covered the massive curved display pleasantly. There is the expected advanced biometric features (i.e. Iris scanner, fingerprint scanner) roaming around and even a feature that could transform it into a mobile desktop. Samsung has already teased a special event to happen on March 29 which is certainly the biggest announcement for S8. One other important thing to point out something that isn’t there – a home button. It could also be the recently speculated Bixby AI assistant. Galaxy Book 10 and Galaxy Book 12 come with slim, aluminum designs and will be available in both Wi-Fi and LTE models. The North American version of the phone will have Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 835 underneath the hood.
On the imaging front, the S8 is said to come with a 12MP “Dual Pixel” camera at the rear alongside an 8MP front facing camera. So we all know that the new Galaxy S series devices will be packed to the rafters with some innovative new features. The South Korean manufacturer sent out invites to the media for an event scheduled to be held on March 29 which also comes with a teaser of what seems to be the new Galaxy S8. However, according to multiple reports, claim that the phablets will go on sale by April 21st.
