Samsung is organizing an event called Unpacked on March 29, 2017, which is expected to announce its new phone Galaxy S8. There were many rumors about the Samsung Galaxy S8, from which we chose the top 10 rumors published by Business Insider, which will show you how true to imagine a how the new phone looks.
1. Device corners will be circular rather than sharp​
Video clips on YouTube show Samsung's flagship S8, with round corners instead of sharp angles that was seen on previous Galaxy S phones. The recently announced LG G6 has almost the same circular angles, and LG claims that these angles help make the screen more durable against the cracks and match the rounded corners of the phone design.​
2. Both versions of the S8 Galaxy phone will have curved screens​
Some sources has told Korea Herald site that both two versions of the Galaxy S8 will come up with curved screens, and there will no be a flat-screen version. However, SamMobile site claims that Samsung will actually release a flat-screen version.
3. The main button will be slightly different
There may be no key button on the Galaxy S8, and according to ET News site, this button may be integrated into the front screen. If so, it may be similar to the look and feel of the new XIAOMI Mi 5s. This means that it may be touch button rather that of pressing a button.
4. It can be equipped with a double lens camera
ET News claims that the Galaxy S8 will be equipped with a dual-lens camera, one of which will be 16 megapixel camera and the other 8 megapixel camera.There is a more recent leak from China's social networking site Weibo, known for its hardware leaks, claiming the lenses will be 13 and 12 megapixels.The functions of the two-lens camera are still unclear; these dual cameras have different functions on other smartphones.
​5. Samsung may offer an audio assistant similar to Siri
​According to Galaxy Club blog, Samsung's smartphone assistant will be named Pixby and can join other assistants like Siri, Alexa, and Pixle Google's assistant. There are several good reasons why these rumors seem reasonable. First, Samsung bought artificial intelligence company Viv in October 2015, which at least shows some kind of interest in Samsung's smart help area. Secondly, Samsung does not want to lag behind its line of leading Galaxy phones because it lacks a smart assistant, As iPhone Siri, Google Pixel.
6. The new assistant Pixby may use the Galaxy S8 camera for search results
According to SamMobile site, Pixby, Samsung's alleged smartphone assistant, would has its own eyes through the phone's camera. Instead of asking Pixby about something, you're likely to see what you're looking for in a phone camera. That would an an interesting feature that none of rivals has, as Siri, Alexa, or Google Helper are not connected to phone cameras.
7. There are conflicting rumors about the headphone input
SamMobile site claims that the Galaxy S8 will not have a headphone jack although the leaks of the chassis designs claim that it will be equipped with a headphone jack. It's hard to figure out this, so we're very close to the phone launch time. However, there are benefits to excluding the headphone jack, such as forcing people to use wireless headphones (Some consumers do like that). At the same time, this may mean buying new wireless headphones or using a Dongle for the old wired headset, which is not ideal.
8. It is expected to have the same features that made the Galaxy S7 one of the best smart phones in 2016
While this prediction is not based on rumors, we expect Samsung to enter the water resistance that has contributed to making the Galaxy S7 one of the best smartphones in 2016.
9. You may be able to connect the Galaxy S8 to an external monitor to use it like a computer
Some says that Galaxy S8 will have a Microsoft-like continuum feature that lets you connect a Windows phone to any screen to use a mini-version of Windows 10 with a keyboard and a mouse. If the Galaxy S8 already supports USB-C, the ability to connect the phone to an external monitor may become very possible.
10. You will be able to unlock Galaxy S8 with your eyes
According to the ET News website, Samsung will add an optical scanner to the Galaxy S8 similar to the eye scanner in the Galaxy Note 7. In the Galaxy Note 7 phone, Eye Scanner allows you to open your phone, as well as some applications and folders, for added security. Apparently, this scanner will only need 0.01 seconds to unlock your phone.
