The Samsung Galaxy S8 has been on the headlines ever since its release date was announced. However, there are still tons of things that users don't know about the upcoming Samsung smartphone.
According to CNET, the Galaxy S8 would reportedly be the first phone to use the Snapdragon 835. The said processor is the latest chipset from Qualcomm. It supports Gigabit LTE-class speeds.
For those who don't know what Gigabit LTE is, it's a connection way greater than the usual 4G LTEs that phones have. It would be a privilege for the S8 to be tagged as the first device to have a network speed as high as 300 megabits per second. To put things into perspective, by tapping in this connection, uses can download a two-hour movie in less than 15 seconds. Meanwhile, Forbes revealed that Samsung Galaxy S8 would also introduce Bluetooth 5 technology.
Not just that, the all-new Gigabit LTE would allow live 360-degree video streaming for virtual reality. It would also help in making "instant apps" turn into reality.
"You know what happens when you combine the most advanced LTE network in the country with Samsung's most powerful phone ever," T-Mobile CEO John Legere. "An entire industry has to redefine the word 'fast.'"
