The Samsung Galaxy S8 and Samsung Galaxy S8+ may just be a day away from their official unveiling, hwoever the leaks are still flowing in rapidly. The latest render of both the smartphones have surfaced online, spotted on AnTuTu. Along with the leaks of what the device would look like, it seems like there will also be a whole new bunch of accessories that are expected to launch alongside as well, leaving very little to the imagination.
WinFuture got hold of the official photo leak which shows both the smartphones from front and back, standing next to each other. Boasting a large display in the front with no Home Button with the fingerprint scanner at the back next to camera sensor, matching up to the previous leaks.
The benchmark leak from AnTuTu indicates that there will be four Samsung Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ devices with model numbers SM-G950F, SM-G950U, SM-G955F, and SM-G955U. These model numbers appear to stand for Exynos 8895 international, and US Snapdragon 835 variants of the Galaxy S8 and the Galaxy S8+. The smartphones will come with an 8-megapixel selfie camera, 64GB of internal storage, with a screen resolution of 1080×1920, or 1080×2220. This could possibly mean that that full-HD would be the default screen mode, and an 18:5:9 ratio can be achieved in Settings, if the user so desired.
Tipster Ice Universe has also shared a separate image of the Galaxy S7 Edge and Galaxy S8+ side by side, with the latter looking significantly taller and narrower than the predecessor. The Galaxy S8+ is set to feature a 6.2-inch display, and because of the extra display real estate in the front, making the S7 Edge with its 5.5-inch display look quite small.
Last but not least, Winfuture has also leaked some of the accessories that Samsung plans to unveil alongside these flagship devices. Some of these accessories include covers, chargers, and screen protectors, among others. The report has leaked the prices of these accessories as well, and the Samsung Clearview standing Cover, LED view cover and keyboard cover is priced at EUR 59.99 (approximately R 900,00).
