Samsung Galaxy S8 Teaser Video, Most-watched Corporate Brand Video Last Week

The folks over at Slashleaks obtained and subsequently released sketches showing the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus’ size compared to Apple’s iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, as well as recent Samsung flagship releases like the Galaxy S7.

Though we will not see a new iPhone before September, the South Korean giant is doing everything it can to reparate the damage done by Galaxy Note 7. In addition to the usual lineup of proximity and light sensors, a front camera and speaker, the two other cutouts could be hiding IR transmitter and receiver for facial recognition.

The latest suggestion is that Samsung will produce both 5.8-inch and 6.2-inch versions of the Galaxy S8, and that there could even be a surprise in the resolution department. Many companies want to distribute videos about their corporate images, products or services in this way.

Kuo also said that Samsung will be powering the new flagship with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835, for devices being shipped to the U.S., China, and Japan, while the other countries’ S8 will be getting an Exynos 8895.

Images emanating from Seanmirza23 suggest that the Galaxy S8 features a screen protector produced by an unknown manufacturer. And Kuo expects that the Galaxy S8 will lack features that “could … be a [big] draw” for prospective buyers. The phone differs only in screen size and battery capacity and shares nearly all the hardware specs of its older sibling.

A report in the Investor quotes senior Samsung officials as saying that it will not be feasible this time, despite progress in developing in-glass sensors. Moreover, colors for the upcoming devices were also leaked, with Violet joining Black and Silver as the three options. The flagship device is scheduled for release at a special event in NY on March 29.

One key feature on which it arguably stands taller than the Samsung Galaxy 8 is its dual cameras.

What started out as a product branding initiative appears to have taken on viral proportions, spreading to millions of potential buyers of the Galaxy S8.

In terms of connectivity, Galaxy S8 may support 4G-LTE, Single/Dual-SIM (based on region of sale), Bluetooth 4.2 LE, Wi-Fi 802.11ac, heart rate sensor, Type C USB 2.0, Global Positioning System and NFC. Despite rumors surrounding the integration of Samsung’s own AI, called Bixby, it looks like the S8 will stick to offering an Android-first experience.
