A possible Pink or Rose Gold edition of Samsung’s big player flagship, the Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus has been spotted in an unverified leaked render along with an official Pirates of the Caribbean edition of the Samsung Galaxy S8 in China.

Electronics insurer Square Trade recently revealed that the Samsung Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus are the most fragile phones they've ever tested in their breakability test video. Considering the Infinity Display glass front and back, this doesn't really come as a surprise but it really highlights the need to get a good protective case with either of the phones. The alternative is to pay about $200 (~ RM869) for repairs but this is still lower than an iPhone 7 screen replacement which is about $300 (~RM1304).

It is no surprise that big brands such as Sony would choose the best processors for their flagship units. Thusly so, the upcoming Sony flagship phone the Sony Xperia XZ Premium will come fully equipped with the Snapdragon 835 chipset. It just so happens that the same chipset is used in the latest Samsung flagships like the Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus. With that said, the Xperia XZ Premium has also recently popped up in the Geekbench benchmark platform so we can have a rough idea on what level of performance this phone will be on.
