Samsung insider Eldar Murtazin has posted a detailed compilation of spoilers for the highly anticipated Galaxy S8. Some alleged leaked renders have surfaced too. Check below for more details.

Popular Russian blogger Eldar Murtazin, who is also known as a Samsung insider for quite a significant time, revealed that Samsung has already introduced the new flagship to its major partners since December last year. The blogger also mentioned that the partners who were present in the exclusive meetings initiated by Samsung were impressed with the design of Galaxy S8.

According to Murtazin, the latest flagship will be available in two variants, the 5.7-inch and the 6.2-inch, where the second version carries a bigger screen which has surpassed the previous models of Galaxy S. The new Galaxy S8 will have similar size with its predecessor except for the increased ratio of the screen-to-front, BGR reported.

Samsung Galaxy S8 comes with the new AMOLED display technology which empowers the smartphone to have more accurate colors, improved brightness and longer energy.

The front side of Galaxy S8 will have the Iris scanner. It will also have the fingerprint sensor. However, Murtazin cannot confirm yet the location of the fingerprint sensor on the new flagship. It could be placed on the back of the handset or under the display.

The Samsung Galaxy S8 is also expected to have a USB-C port and the standard 3.5mm audio jack. It will run with Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 and the new GPU, the Mali-G71. The new smartphone will also sport the latest Android 7.1.1 Nougat to run the various applications of Samsung such as the Samsung Cloud, Samsung Pay, Samsung's UX and Bixby voice assistant.

As previously rumored, users can link the Galaxy S8 to a bigger screen. Murtazin confirmed this rumor by saying the new flagship can be connected to a bigger display.

Samsung Galaxy S8 is expected to come out in the second half of April. The report also warns the users that the supply for Galaxy S8 will most likely be limited when the smartphone is launched.
