Samsung reveals colors of the Galaxy S8

Even before the product launch Samsung could have betrayed now the colors, where it probably will be buying the Galaxy S8 to the release. In addition to standard colors like black and silver, a quite extravagant paint could to join.

Samsung is not only in South Korea the advertising drum for the Galaxy S8, but is even asking potential customers about the preferred color for their "new Galaxy". At least in India, Samsung fans could make their choice in advance, reports SamMobile. The potential buyers could decide on a separate registration page between black, silver and amethyst. Previously, the color Violet was recently thrown into the room, but almost the same. At least, amethyst is quite similar to the violet color.

Unveiled Samsung on 29th March the Galaxy S8 in Amethyst?

This does not mean, of course, that Samsung will offer these color options for the Galaxy S8 as well. But the thought probably does not seem to be absurd. Not only Samsung itself, also the Brazilian Onlineshop Submarino offers its visitors the same color options, white GSMArena to report. Meanwhile the hint of the Indian Samsung website has disappeared again. Instead, registry entries now have the ability to select features such as an "excellent camera" or "advanced battery life."


In which colors the Galaxy S8 will ultimately give for the release, Samsung will reveal on March 29th in the context of an Unpacked Event. Then we will also be able to convince ourselves of the new user interface, whose minimalist look was recently shown on leaked screenshots.

Samsung Galaxy S8 is supposed to dominate face recognition

The Samsung Galaxy S8 is not only to be equipped with an iris scanner, but also to recognize facial recognition. This is to ensure reliable and fast biometric authentication - in less than 0.01 seconds.

Samsung wants to spend his Galaxy S8 a face recognition, reported SamMobile with reference to The Investor. While the fingerprint sensor will in the future be placed far less prominently on the back of the smartphone, the iris scanner is likely to play a key role in identifying the owner. But the South Koreans do not want to leave alone. Because: The Galaxy S8 should also have a face recognition integrated. The biometric authentication is to become safer and, above all, faster. The system should take just less than 0.01 seconds to identify the face - as opposed to the slightly slower iris scanner.

Galaxy S8: Faster identification by facial recognition

Due to some limitations of the iris scanner in terms of speed and accuracy, one has decided to "add a face detection to the Galaxy S8," quotes The Investor, a Samsung official. Whether the upcoming product launch of the iPhone 8 could have favored the manufacturer's decision remains unclear. At the very least, however, it had probably fallen within the timeframe, in which more speculation about the integration of a face recognition technology for the iPhone 8 was speculated.

Sure, on March 29th, Samsung wants to present its new smartphone flagship in New York. The release is said to be latest rumors, however, only at the end of April, after having been anticipated with an appearance in the middle of April.

Finally: Genuine Samsung Galaxy S8 shows itself in short video

Finally, it has happened: The real Samsung Galaxy S8 - and not just a computer calculated image - is in a very short video. A few weeks before the release of the device, more and more leaks of the device appear.

So just before the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S8, which will be celebrated with a release event on 29 March, the frequency of the leaks is growing strongly. And that, although the manufacturer, of course, with all the mids to prevent that his employees shots pictures and other information to the public, writes Slash Gear.

Samsung Galaxy S8: The short video shows nothing new

So it is no surprise that there is now a short video of the upcoming top model from Samsung. The clip does not show anything new, but it is a little strange, which is almost by the way. Because on the device immensely large warnings, not to publish it - and exactly that has happened now.

It is also strange that the IMEI number and also the barcode of the device are clearly visible. This allows the smartphone to be tracked well. Therefore, it is also somewhat surprising that the video is still online some time after the Leak. It remains unclear whether Samsung is just preparing the lawsuit against the Videofilmer or whether the Korean company the film simply does not care.

It may well be that the video Samsung really does not care, because in the last days the leaks to the Galaxy S8 have increased enormously. However, the pictures show only what is already known in fact, among other things that the display of the device almost borderless and the fingerprint sensor on the back has migrated.

Galaxy S8 & S8 Plus: Does this Case-Leak name & colors tell you?

For a long time it is no longer possible until all secrets around the Galaxy S8 are officially aired. One of the last big unknowns seems to have already come to light: the Leak of a Case vendor could not only confirm the naming, but also reveal the colors available for the release.

There is hardly anything that has not yet been discussed in the run-up to the Galaxy S8 launches. Most features of the upcoming Samsung flagship seem to be known before the release. Two further details are now added. Thanks to the website MobileFun, which already offers cases for the 2017 Android smartphone, we could finally have the confirmation for the new naming: the Onlineshop offers smartphone covers for the Galaxy S8 and for the Galaxy S8 Plus. This seems to aggravate the suspicion that the additional term "Edge" becomes unnecessary with the omission of the flat Galaxy S variant.

New color equal to the release of the Galaxy S8?

This is not the only indication that PhoneArena discovered in the offer of the case manufacturer. So the Onlineshop could have revealed another detail: a new color. MobileFun offers the smartphone sleeves not only in black, silver, gold, pink, blue and mint. Also a violette variant is in the offer for the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus. And at least the official cases designed Samsung in the past always match the available smartphone colors.

While the references to the naming are now quite clear, the rumors about the color variants are still speculations, which are to be enjoyed with greater caution. Good to face would be the Galaxy S8 and the Galaxy S8 Plus an elegant purple but sure. In addition, it could help Samsung after the note 7 debacle to open up additional buyer circles.

Galaxy S8 is to be MWC 2017 angeteasert with video

The fact that the Galaxy S8 is not shown on the MWC 2017 has long been known. Now is synonymous durchgefickt, what Samsung as a plaster plaster plans.

The Samsung Galaxy S8 is supposed to have an appearance on the MWC 2017 - but not in the form, which many fans had certainly hoped for months. As the website The Korea Herald wants to have experienced, Samsung will show on the 26th February at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona a circa one minute clip to the Galaxy S8. What will be shown in the short video is unfortunately still unknown. It is, however, likely to be a pure teaser video without deeper information.

MWC 2017: Samsung's focus is on the Galaxy Tab S3

The focus of Samsung should be the MWC 2017 rather on the next top Tablet Galaxy Tab S3. In the official invitation for the press conference on the eve of the Mobile World Congress, the device is probably already recognizable. Whether Samsung also plans further product presentations for the major mobile communications fair in Barcelona is currently still open. The Galaxy S8 under it is to be presented after the short MWC teaser most likely on 29 March on its own unpacked event. The release of the new flagship could then take place at the end of April.

Galaxy S8: Construction plans show exact dimensions

The Galaxy S8 now seems to be almost all known - and this, although the Samsung smartphone is probably unveiled in March. Now, new blueprints have appeared, which should show the exact dimensions of the S8 and the S8 Plus.

The Galaxy S8 will probably actually get a 5.8 inch screen, the Galaxy S8 Plus even a 6.2 inch display. This is the result of new plans for the Samsung smartphones, which were added to CNET Korea. The screen diagonal of the Galaxy S8 is therefore 143.05 millimeters, which is converted 5.6 inches. In addition, another 0.2 inch through the Curved design of the smartphone. The same applies to the Plus version, in which the flat part of the screen will also measure only 6.08 inches.

Galaxy S8 is scheduled to arrive late March
Like the LG G6 is also the Galaxy S8 the so far from smart phones rather unusual side-ratio of 18: 9 and 2: 1, respectively. In addition, the ratio of screen to housing on the new Samsung smartphone is even more noticeable in favor of the display fail - on the new blueprints is at least very easy to see how thin the display edges of the Galaxy S8 and the Galaxy S8 Plus really should be.

Also interesting is the fingerprint scanner, which is supposed to slip on the back of the smartphone next to the camera. Also an additional physical button - probably for the language assistant Bixby - can be seen. The Galaxy S8 is probably to be presented at the end of March and a little later to celebrate its release. On the MWC 2017, on the other hand, the group will probably only show the Galaxy Tab S3.
