CONSIDERING
the
amazing features, which the Samsung Galaxy S8 parades, there are indications
that the device, which will be launched tomorrow at the Unpack Event across the
globe including Nigeria, may just be one
strategic moves of reclaiming its position in the smartphone market.
The Samsung Galaxy S7 was
almost everything we hoped for, but while it may have scored five stars in our
in-depth review, there's always room for improvement for the next Galaxy.
Based on the sheer volume
of rumors, leaks and teases so far we're confident we'll see some significant
improvements with the Samsung Galaxy S8.
The headline features point
to a larger 5.8-inch display with an elongated 18.5:9 aspect ratio, but with a
similar body size to the S7 with Samsung opting to reduce the bezels above and
below the screen.
That will be partly
achieved by removing the iconic physical home button from the front of phone,
shifting the fingerprint scanner to the rear of the Galaxy S8 and introducing
3D Touch-esque pressure sensing tech under the screen to provide a home button
experience.
The new Galaxy S8 will
even pack an iris scanner, providing another secure way of unlocking the
handset and potentially authorizing payments - we fear it won't be as speedy,
or as user friendly, as the trusty digit reader though.
There is some talk of a
dual-lens camera, but it looks more likely that the Galaxy S8 will stick with a
12MP sensor on the back - although the front snapper could be bumped to 8MP.
Samsung has confirmed
that its new AI assistant, called Bixby, will take on Apple's Siri and Google's
own Assistant on the Galaxy S8. Oh, and there's good news for audiophiles - it
looks like you'll get a 3.5mm headphone jack.
