Samsung Galaxy S8 News & Update: Upcoming Smartphone to Feature Advanced AI, Optical Fingerprint Recognition; Arriving February 2017?

Following the massive fiasco of exploding Galaxy Note 7's and the recall that followed, it seems that the South Korean electronics giant is rushing to unveil the Samsung Galaxy S8. The latest news surrounding the next generation of smartphones from Samsung is that it may be revealed early next year.

According to BGR, Samsung is now keeping busy marketing the new Galaxy S8 following the massive recall of Galaxy Note 7. Users can recall that many reports surfaced of the Galaxy Note 7 exploding because of a faulty battery. This caused the U.S. authorities to warn airline passengers not to bring their mobile phones on board or keep it in luggage. It seems that the new Galaxy S8 will be announced in February 2017 after the negative press received by the company.

Aside from negative press, Samsung experienced a 96% decrease in mobile operating outfit this quarter, which is why they may have decided to announce the Galaxy S8 this February. Interestingly, Samsung hinted at advanced AI as one of the upcoming smartphone's features. It will have an improved camera as well. Users are hoping that aside from revamping its features, the company would also address the dangers of the exploding batteries.

The Samsung Galaxy S8 is said to be fearing optical fingerprint recognition as well, according to Forbes. This new information comes from leaks that indicate an edge-to-edge screen display, a digital on-screen Home button, as well as a 4K resolution screen with a dual lense camera. Sources claim that the new Samsung Galaxy S8 will be powered by Exynos 8895 and Qualcomm Snapdragon 830 chipsets.

The optical fingerprint recognition feature in the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S8 is also said to be "faster and sharper than ultrasonic fingerprint recognition." Whether or not this is the same technology that Apple has already had in the iPhone 6 remains to be seen.

Now that fans are expecting the Samsung Galaxy S8 to feature advanced AI and optical fingerprint recognition, will Samsung be able to finally put the exploding battery issue behind them? We will have to wait and see in February 2017 when the brand unveils the Samsung Galaxy S8 during the Mobile World Congress event.
