Fans of the popular mobile phone manufacturers are excited for Samsung's upcoming Galaxy series, the Galaxy S8. Alleged specifications for the new Samsung Galaxy phone is circulating the net.

The Samsung Galaxy S8 phone run on Android's latest OS, 7.0 (Nougat). It will also feature ann octa-core processor for faster processing of applications. It will also have an internal storage of 64GB or 128gb and will have 6GB or 8GB RAM. There are also reports that Galaxy S8 will have an even bigger screen than its predecessor, the Galaxy S7. The S8 will have a 5.7-inch screen which is slightly bigger than S7, who only has a 5.5-inch screen. The alleged dimensions are around 140.14 x 72.20 x 7.30mm while the S8 Plus will have 152.38 x 78.52 x 7.94mm dimensions.

What is new with the S8 is that Samsung will finally eliminate the Home button on the screen. This will make way for the on-screen navigation in the home screen as well as the other features of the phone. Because the S8 will have a fingerprint feature, this might pose a problem for those who grew accustomed to the phone's buttons to navigate their way.

Samsung is expected to release more information about the Galaxy S8 and the Galaxy S8 Plus at the Mobile World Congress in February. They'll share the light on the phones' specs as well as its release date and price. This is quite surprising since Samsung is still facing charges against the incidents of exploding Note 7 phones last year. The explosions caused by the Note 7 proved to be alarming that some countries are banning the usage of Note 7 in airports and inside the planes. Later this month, the company will reveal their findings on their investigations of the incident to the public. Reports say that the batteries are the primary reason for the explosions of the Note 7 phones.
