Samsung will make its comeback on Wednesday March 29, 2017 with the launch of its Galaxy S8 smartphones after the recent Galaxy Note 7 global embarrassment.
Also, not to forget the arrest of Samsung chief Jay Y. Lee CEO on bribery charges in South Korea.
During the launch of Samsung Galaxy S3 Tab event at MWC 2017, Barcelona in February, the company got a 'not too pleasant' surprise when a Greenpeace activist almost took the centre stage to protest the “exploding flagship Galaxy Note 7.”
The smartphone could be powered by Samsung’s own voice assistant called Bixby which is similar to Google Assistant. Both the S8 and S8+ smartphones will offer iris recognition along with fingerprint scanners. A separate 3.7MP Iris camera sensor is including in the front beside the selfie camera.
There will be two variants of the phones with Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 and Exynos 8895 SoCs. In India, Samsung will launch them with Exynos chipsets. The smartphones are expected to be powered by 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage with support for microSD cards of up to 256GB. Rumours suggest that there could be a 6GB RAM variant as well.
The Galaxy S8 and S8+ will come with a 12MP 'Dual Pixel' f/1.7 rear camera with OIS along with an 8MP front camera.
The Samsung Galaxy S8 is expected to be priced at Rs 57,000 in India while the S8+ variant could be priced as high as Rs 65,000.
So, the make or break Galaxy S8 launch will be more than just another flagship launch for Samsung
