Samsung is expected to launch two models of the Galaxy S8: one with a 2K 5.7-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 pixel density of 806 pixels per inch (ppi). Samsung could also eliminate the headphone jack from its upcoming phones.

Samsung is allegedly still developing the upcoming Galaxy S8. There are reports that the Galaxy S8 will feature the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 chipset. Unlike iPhone 8 and iPhone 7s rumors, the Galaxy S8 might not have dual cameras. It will likely come with an 8 megapixels front camera with auto-focus technology as well as a front iris scanner which is borrowed from the Note 7.

According to Business Korea, the Snapdragon 835 will be used in the Samsung Galaxy S8. The new processor is anticipated to power most high-end smartphones that will be released this year. It deploys the company's 10 nm FinFet process node that ensures top caliber performance. This will enhance battery life, ensuring the device consumes 25 percent less power than its predecessor. The processor also comes with Bluetooth 5.0 support.

The Samsung Galaxy S8 is expected to offer a 27 percent performance increase and 40 percent power consumption decrease. It could also sport the Exynos 8895 with ARM's new Mali-G71 for its GPU. The phones could also come with increased RAM for better virtual reality support.
