Samsung is expected to launch two Galaxy S8 models: one with 2K 5.8-inch display and another with a 6.2-inch 4K screen called Galaxy S8 Plus. Both smartphones are expected to feature curved Super AMOLED displays with a resolution of 3,840 x 2,160 and a pixel density of 806 pixels per inch (ppi). Samsung could also remove the headphone jack from the upcoming phones.

Samsung is said to be still developing the upcoming Galaxy S8. The Galaxy S8 will reportedly feature the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 chipset which was launched at CES 2017. Unlike the iPhone 8 and iPhone 7s, the Galaxy S8 might not have dual cameras. It will come with an 8 MP front camera with auto-focus technology as well as a front iris scanner.

According to South Korean publication Business Korea, the Snapdragon 835 will be used on Samsung Electronics' next strategic smartphone, the Galaxy S8. The new processor is anticipated to power most high-end smartphones released in 2017. It deploys the company's 10 nm FinFet process node that ensures top caliber performance. It is efficient and will enhance battery life, consuming 25 percent less power than its predecessor. The processor also comes with Bluetooth 5.0 support.

The Samsung Galaxy S8 would offer a 27 percent performance increase and 40 percent power consumption decrease. It could also sport an Exynos 8895 with ARM's new Mali-G71 for its GPU. The phones will certainly feature increased RAM for virtual reality support.
