The next flagship device from the Korean-based smartphone manufacturer could well cater a 3250/3750 mAh battery. The Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus will be engineered to address the exploding battery issues because of the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 fiasco.
Early rumours states that the S8 and S8 Plus could have a 3000 mAh and 3500 mAh respectively, but a new report from Korea teases that the Samsung battery supplier roadmap may actually imply that the next devices will have better battery capacities.
Samsung needs to be very conservative in choosing their battery manufacturer, as the recollection of their Samsung Galaxy Note 7s gave a blow on their sales and revenues. The exploding battery issue has been addressed and investigated, so Samsung learned a lesson on what to do and not to do for their next products.
So believing that the battery will now be among the primary considerations, consumers can expect that the Samsung Galaxy S8 and Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus will be safe to use.
Aside from the beefed-up battery, the S8 series will have a wrappable 5.8" and 6.2" displays for the standard and Plus respectively. A thinned out top and bottom bezels are expected to maximize the body to screen ratio.
It is expected to have an Android Nougat out-of-the-box, a fingerprint sensor on the Super AMOLED scratch resistant glass, and will run in Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon 835 running Octa-core, 2450 MHZ, Kryo 280, 64-bit coupled with Adreno 540. A built-in storage of 64GB will come with a 6GB RAM.
The storage can be expanded up to 256GB via microSD. As for the camera, the both S8 and S8 Plus will have 12 megapixels primary phase detection and 8 megapixels front both with autofocus features.
Both the Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus will most likely launch during the Mobile World Congress 2017, or could be on a later date for a dedicated Samsung unveiling event.
