Samsung Galaxy S8 is definitely one of the most talked about devices currently. Its launch event is lurking around the corner so important information and details about the device are already revealed. Knowing more information about the device makes industry experts and just about anyone anxiously waiting for the official release date.

Its release date is highly anticipated and Samsung is mum about it. However, inside reports confirm that it will be launched first in one major market before worldwide availability.

According to BGR, a senior supply chain with knowledge of one Canadian cell carrier's plans has confirmed that pre-orders will be shipped out to Canada on April 28, 2017. This then confirms that the Samsung Galaxy S8 will be launched in the U.S. on the said date the latest, before Canada.

Since there is no official news regarding its launch by Samsung, good numbers of leaks then lead to interesting developments on its features and specs. Its display size/screen size is reportedly more improved for having less bezel which means the screen will be more utilized. Adding to more utilized screen size is the alleged removal of button on the front. This contributes to the size of the screen without changing the smaller size of the entire device.

The iris scanner is also expected to make its debut in the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S8. Finger scanner is a thing of the past (though it will still be part of the device located beside the rear-facing camera) as this device will have this technology borrowed from the Note 7. All important information kept in the device will even be made safer.

As added by The Sun, the Samsung Galaxy S8 is expected to be the fastest mobile device upon its official release because of Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 chips. Also to beat Apple's Siri, this device is also rumored to be equipped with its own AI voice assistant so typing won't be necessary for information gathering and research. With more utilized screen space and size, the upcoming mobile device is also reported to come with 4k or Quad HD resolution making it one of the brightest and most in-depth displays upon debut.

Since reports of Samsung Galaxy S8 has yet to be confirmed, it is best to stay tuned as it will immediately be reported. Various information on its noteworthy and impressive specs make everyone anxiously waiting. Though most information are from reliable sources, some of the features may or may not come to fruition. One thing is for sure, this mobile device will not come cheap.
