News & Reviews:   Samsung Galaxy S8 Malaysia

2017 is only a couple of months away, so we are set to get a new line of smartphone under the Samsung Galaxy S line by next year. What we know right now is that Samsung is expected to have two models under the Galaxy S8 banner – plus a surprise. A new Samsung Galaxy Note model is also in development.

New reports are coming out on next year’s Samsung Galaxy S8. It says that there is a big possibility that the upcoming flagship smartphone from Samsung will feature capacitive buttons all around – even for the volume buttons.

If you happen to read our report on Samsung's latest conference call earlier this month, then you would also have some ideas on this news that the company is planning to introduce a brand new A.I. digital assistant. Although they have no comment if it will appear on the next Galaxy S8, but Reuters has reconfirmed that it will.

By now, you should have already seen the breathtaking Xiaomi Mi Mix online with its bezel-less top. Although it's unfortunate that the device won't be coming to Malaysia, another company does not share the same thought as them, and that company is none other than Samsung.

Just recently, a conference call between Samsung and some analysts happened to discuss various topics, such as the next Samsung Galaxy S8, the recent Viv Labs acquirement, and its current standing after the Galaxy Note 7 fiasco.

A new report states that the next Samsung Galaxy S8 may feature optical fingerprint recognition, rather than the current capacitive sensor that is being used by most smartphones out there.

Well it looks like the next Galaxy S series from Samsung will be getting a larger screen, according to reports. The model is also reported to feature 6GB of RAM when it rolls out to the world market in 2017.

Contrary to reports shared online, it seems that Samsung has no intention of killing off its Note series of smartphones, if the report we saw is true. We will see the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 in 2017, and if the report is right, Samsung Galaxy Note 7 owners will get a big discount on the new model with a special upgrade programme.

By now, you all should have heard how Samsung is trying to refund the costumers who have pre-ordered the Samsung Galaxy Note 7, or exchanging the phone with a Galaxy S7 edge, from both Samsung store and even at the airport. However, there is a new rumour floating around; which claims that the company is planning to provide the Galaxy S8 for free, or by paying a minimum amount to those who pre-ordered the Galaxy Note 7.

As the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 incident is winding down, the big bosses in Samsung South Korea must have sat down and decided on a few important things based on the lesson that they have learned so far. One of it is that instead of two flagship lines (Galaxy S & Galaxy Note), the company may be only releasing a single flagship line in 2017.
