Samsung Galaxy S8+: On March 29, Samsung plans to announce two new smartphones in the Galaxy S series. Today, a logo was leaked that reveals that the larger of the two devices will be called the Samsung Galaxy S8+. The logo was leaked by well-known tipster Evan Blass.
The standard Galaxy S8 is expected to feature a 5.8-inch display, while the S8+ will have a 6.2-inch display. Samsung will not be releasing a squared-off variant of the Galaxy S8, as it appears to have decided to exclusively release devices with displays that feature dual curves.
The logo also suggests that Samsung will be dropping the “Edge” moniker it used on the previous two Galaxy S7 devices. The name for the larger S8 variant will also include the “+” symbol, which was previously used with the Galaxy S6+, a smartphone that was released on the same day as the Galaxy Note 5.
The Galaxy S8+ is also expected to feature 128GB of storage. Both new devices will be powered by the Snapdragon 835 processor that Samsung managed to secure exclusivity from Qualcomm, at least for the first batch.
Samsung has reportedly added iris scanners to both devices, an S Pen as a separate accessory, and a new AI assistant, Bixby, based on S Voice. Bixby will initially support 8 languages and will have a feature to recognize objects from a simple scan with the rear camera.
The upcoming S8 and S8+ will also feature a fingerprint sensor on the back and will lack the familiar Home button that previous phones in the series had. The latest rumors suggest that the S8 will come with a 3,000mAh battery, while the S8+ will feature a larger 3,500mAh one.
The rumors don't mention whether the batteries will be safe...
