Galaxy S8 Rumored To Feature Facial Recognition System

The anticipation for 2017 is focused on Apple’s iPhone 8 and Samsung’s Galaxy S8 and its follow-up to the disastrous Galaxy Note 7. Also found were model numbers SM-G950U and SM-G955U, with the “U” representing the unlocked variant of the new phone. However, various leaked reports kept making indications about the features of the new device.

A few hours ago, meltyStyle confided to you that the Galaxy S8 would probably be declined in 3 colors, of which a surprising one.

All this news sounds very similar to Apple, as Apple is also doing something similar with the use of the AirPods.

Apple AirPods allow users to access voice assistant Siri, thanks to the inclusion of beam-forming directional microphones.

With the use of the Apple AirPods, the user can dictate a message or request a song. Other supporting financial institutions joining “shortly” include Handelsbanken, ICA Banken, Re:member, Swedbank and Ticket Rikskuponger.

Indeed, Broadcom is a key supplier of Wi-Fi and RF chips to both companies, as well as to other high-end smartphone vendors. As details about the upcoming flagship device continue to trickle down, however, the highly-anticipated device continues to take form.

It’s also shown up against the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, the latter of which it’s significantly smaller than, though it’s bigger than the Samsung Galaxy S7 or iPhone 7.

That means Samsung will want its customers to either jump to USB-C headphones or wireless ones.

Either way, the Galaxy S8 is coming soon.

Although it’s hard to quantify precisely what factors contributed to each company’s gains and losses, it wouldn’t be a reach to suggest Samsung’s Galaxy Note 7 troubles may have contributed, in some part, to the relative success of its two closest competitors.
