It seems Samsung is also planning to go the Apple way by dropping the 3.5mm headphone jack in its upcoming, highly-anticipated Samsung Galaxy S8. Apple has started this trend and its closest rival Samsung won't be left far behind.
As per inside sources, Samsung will be pushing the audio through the same USB-C connection used to charge the Samsung Galaxy S8 phone. This is not the first time the company has mimicked Apple's efforts. When Samsung dropped the expandable storage in Galaxy S6, fans forced the tech giant to bring back microSD storage in Galaxy S7.
According to Digital Spy, the Samsung Galaxy S8 will sport an incredible 4K screen, a new camera and most-powerful processor. Despite the hype, the device is not expected to be released before February 2017.
Rumors suggest that the mystery device on AnTuTu benchmarking site is the Samsung Galaxy S8. The AnTuTu benchmark measures a device's overall performance and the rumored Samsung Galaxy S8 has scored a whopping 203,737 surpassing Galaxy S7 and Apple iPhone 7 Plus by a long way.
The score suggests that handset will be one of the speediest devices in the market when released, writes iTech Post. Going by a February 2017 release date, the said prototype on AnTuTu could well be the Samsung Galaxy S8. Moreover, the recent Galaxy Note 7 fiasco has left a bad taste in the mouth for many Samsung fans.
Releasing a revolutionary device like the Samsung Galaxy S8 will surely be the master stroke everyone is expecting from the company. As per International Business Times, a rumor from China suggests that the mobile may be priced at around $850. It may feature a 30MP primary and 9MP secondary camera and 4,200 mAh battery.
Some of the Samsung Galaxy S8 specs as mentioned in a Weibo leak looks outrageous and are too good to be true. But you never know. Samsung may surprise the world with the most advanced smartphone in 2017. Moreover, the iPhone 8 is also expected next year. It will be a clash that tech enthusiasts are eagerly waiting for.
