News & Reviews:   Samsung Galaxy S8 Malaysia

While it hasn't even been officially announced or even teased yet, it appears that someone is selling the Samsung Galaxy S8 in Malaysia for RM1088. The seller, afiq, who is selling it on mudah.my says that it is a new set, has a free casing, extra cable, tempered glass and 1 year warranty also says that the price is still negotiable so we can't help but wonder, is this a prank? Even if it isn't (or is some refurbished Galaxy S7 edge) or is some copycat model from China, we DON'T recommend you take this guy up at all as it very likely isn't the real thing.

There are a few leaked images and render concepts of the Samsung Galaxy S8 for the past few weeks already, but nothing quite like the latest one that we are about to show you. In this rumour news, we have a “first look” at the device which could be the Galaxy S8 or the S8 Plus itself.

Just last Friday, a mysterious “Cloud 9” Exynos was teased by Samsung and even hinted that it’s “coming soon”. From this, we can take a wild guess that it could make its debut at MWC 2017 and it’s definitely a new upcoming 9-series from the Exynos line.

As we gear up for the upcoming announcement or teaser video of the Samsung Galaxy S8 for MWC 2017, serial leaker @evleaks has revealed fairly clear images of the phone in a case. While no tech specs were revealed, the images clearly show a rear fingerprint sensor beside the rear camera and heartrate monitor. It also shows a dual curved edge display and what appears to be an iris scanner.

Just yesterday, we posted a news about some leaked pictures of the Samsung Galaxy S8 protective casing hinting that it could have a fingerprint sensor at the back or an extra rear camera. More of Galaxy S8 concept are beginning to show up now, and we just got one from @OnLeaks today, showing further drawing render concepts.

Ah, Samsung, will the Galaxy S8 redeem the company? We sure hope so, after all the Note 7 was a good phone but unfortunately the battery compartment backfired. Now that we can move on from the issue, we are looking forward to the Galaxy S8 and rumours has it that it might appear at the Mobile World Congress and a small change can be seen at the fingerprint sensor.

Fresh after their detailed post mortem report on the exploding Galaxy Note 7 batteries, it looks like Samsung may be working with Murata Manufacturing Japan to supply their batteries for the upcoming Galaxy S8. Previously, Samsung used Amperex Technology from China but it looks like their main supplier of Samsung SDI will remain the same.

Those hoping for an early reveal of the Samsung Galaxy S8 will be slightly appeased this MWC 2017 as Samsung have indicated that they will show a teaser video of their upcoming flagship phone. Instead, their big MWC 2017 reveal will likely be about the Samsung Galaxy Tab S3.

What appear to be press renders showing off the Samsung Galaxy S8 have surfaced, showing a very large screen with no front home button. Confirming the back with previous leaked images there is a rear fingerprint sensor located next to the still raised camera hump on the back.

A photo shared by the site Venturebeat online may share some information of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S8, and it looks pretty good. Plus, reports are also stating that the phone may come in two flavours – a 5.8-inch and a 6.2-inch version.
