Samsung sure has faced a lot of ups and downs especially given the reported battery issues and the device recall thereafter. While official investigations are already underway to look after this problem, a recent leak suggests that the company might be preparing for Samsung Galaxy S8 launch early next year.
According to leakster @Ricciolo1, Samsung will be releasing the Galaxy S8 on February 26 during a MWC event in 2017.
The Korean report claims that the "elimination of home button indicates that Samsung Electronics is planning to fill all of front screen of Galaxy S8 with just screen", but it's very, very unclear how it arrived to that conclusion. Choosing a different solution for the Home button or even forgoing it completely will enable an even smaller bottom bezel for the phone, yes, but there's a very long way to go from this to an all-screen front.
Samsung is said to have decided to adorn the S8 with a dual rear camera arrangement. This is certainly not surprising, considering how many of Samsung's competitors have started playing this game already. What's unclear apparently is whether Samsung will go for "all-in-one dual cameras" or "separated dual cameras". The former "have two lenses and a module", while the latter "have two separate modules". One of the S8's rear sensors will have 16 MP resolution, while the other will be an 8 MP unit.
The chipsets powering the Galaxy S8 will be Samsung's own Exynos 8895 and Qualcomm's Snapdragon 830, in a 50/50 split.
Samsung was hinted at removing the flat-screen version which will then be replaced with the side model. Also, the company is sourcing 5.1-inch and 5.5-inch dual-edge screens. Koh Dong-Jin, head of the tech giant's mobile business, said in an interview, "Samsung has considered that it would make the edge display as the identity of the Galaxy S smartphone lineup if the company can provide consumers differentiated user experience through software and user-friendly functions."
