South Korean multinational company Samsung is rumored to be getting ready their new flagship - the Samsung Galaxy S8. The news surfaced soon after Samsung released the Galaxy Note 7.
The rumor started when a leakster who goes by the username of "i ice universe" in Weibo revealed the alleged new plans of Samsung with few details about the next phone.
With an rumored release date of February 2017, it is said to have a 5.5-inch screen sporting 4K display with 3840 x 2160 pixels resolution. It can have the capability to jump to 2K resolution if the user is running out of battery. It might have a Qualcomm Snapdragon 830 chipset. And those who need a wonderful VR experience can count on Samsung Galaxy S8 as it is said to be perfectly compatible with Google's upcoming VR headset.
The leakster who has a record spot-on rumor record has also revealed the camera set-up of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S8. It is said to feature dual-cameras with an iris scanner in the front. One of them will come with an f/2.0 aperture, and another with an aperture of f/2.3. The sensors are rumored to be that of Samsung and Sony's camera division. It is debated whether each company will focus on a single module or whether both modules have two suppliers.
Fans are still not sure about the dual camera as it is a 'been-there-done-that' practice by many of the manufacturers before.
The company is also expected to announce a new Gear VR along with the new phone.
