While normally smartphone manufacturers resent premature spillage of classified or tentative information on future flagship releases, Samsung may well be fueling the Galaxy S8 speculation fire itself to bury Note 7 scandals as fast and as deep as possible.
Practically confirmed to make use of a vastly improved Siri-like digital assistant service dubbed Viv, the Korean tech behemoth’s “next big thing” could go so far as to feature a physical button dedicated solely to AI interaction.
Early prototypes currently in development reportedly include such a key to one of their side edges, though the super-reliable publication exclusively breaking the story today emphasizes the designs “aren’t final and could change.”
What’s particularly intriguing is a separate, way less credible source anticipates the death of the classical home button, with Samsung likely to follow in Apple’s footsteps, but mainly for screen bezel-slimming purposes.
Speaking of the alleged Galaxy S8 screen, we’re still unsure exactly how much of the front panel it will take up, but the oft-rumored 4K, aka Ultra HD, resolution upgrade may ultimately be delayed, as Samsung looks to cut costs, deeming a 2K pixel count perfectly acceptable for 2017 standards, including for high-res VR viewing.
Last but not least, we’re again hearing word of thorough quality control and Note 7 investigations pushing back the GS8 launch and announcement all the way to April. Let’s hope it’s worth the wait.
