Samsung recently confirmed that it would not be launching the Galaxy S8 at MWC 2017. A launch date of March 29 is being rumored, and sales are suspected to begin by April 21. Samsung usually unveils a bunch of new accessories with its smartphone launches, and this year won’t be any different. The company is said to be planning on launching next-generation Level in ANC headphones alongside its flagship smartphone.
Samsung’s next-gen Level in ANC headphones will be an update to the existing headphones, which are available for £49, which rounds off to Rs 4,200. This bit of information comes from Roland Quandt, who posted it on Twitter. According to the leakster, these new headphones would be priced at €100 (Rs 7,300 approximately). These new headphones are expected to be available in red, green, black and silver colors, as opposed to the currently available black and white colors.
This is not the first that we’ve heard of Samsung planning to launch headphones with the Galaxy S8, as we had encountered a similar rumor back in December. It was said that Samsung would be launching in-ear headphones along with the Galaxy S8, which would compete with Apple’s AirPods.
Talking about the Level in ANC headphones, Samsung says that these headphones can minimize surrounding noise levels by up to 20db. These Samsung headphones also come with a feature called Talk-in-Mode that allows one to listen to music, but at the same time keep them aware of what’s happening around them, thereby managing sound inside and outside the headphones. Samsung’s Level in ANC headphones are shaped in canal-type and features a three-button slim remote with a metal finish.
Samsung may also introduce another accessory for the Galaxy S8 and this could be a Stylus. With a variant of the upcoming smartphone featuring a 6.2-inch display, it is not surprising why there are rumors of S Pen support. Unlike the Galaxy Note 7 though, the stylus for the Galaxy S8 would be offered as an external accessory.
Speaking about the Galaxy S8, the smartphone has been rumored in numerous occasions so far, which gives us the expectation that it would be launched in two display variants of 5.8-inch and 6.2-inch. The processor in the Galaxy S8 would vary depending upon the region, with one running the company’s own Exynos 8895 chipset and the other running Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 835 SoC. In terms of RAM and storage, the Galaxy S8 could come with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of onboard storage with an option to expand the storage up to 256GB via microSD card.
In the photography department, the Galaxy S8 could feature a dual-camera setup at the back. However, some reports suggest that the smartphone will stick with the 12-megapixel rear camera with f/1.7 aperture. Up front, the smartphone is said to house an 8-megapixel selfie camera which would be complemented with auto-focus and iris scanner.
The Galaxy S8 is said to use a a 3,000mAh battery and a 3,500mAh battery each for the two expected variants. For connectivity, the Galaxy S8 could opt for a USB Type-C port, and a 3.5mm audio jack.
