Alleged Samsung Galaxy S8 Specs Leaked On Weibo

So we have been hearing bits and pieces of rumors regarding the Samsung Galaxy S8. One of those rumors include the handset having a 4K VR-ready display, and recently it has been suggested that the phone will be powered by an Exynos 8895 chipset with ARM’s new Mali-G71 GPU, making it a powerful phone that can support VR.

Now thanks to a post on Weibo, a bunch of specs that are rumored for the Galaxy S8 have made their way online. For starters its 4K display is still there and it will be of the 5.2-inch variety. It is also rumored to feature 6GB of RAM. There is also a whopping 30MP rear-facing camera with optical image stabilization, and a 9MP front-facing camera.

We’re also looking at a minimum of 64GB of storage, a huge 4,200mAh battery, and there will be an iris scanner, fingerprint scanner, wireless charging, and a built-in projector. Now all of the specs kind of make sense, except the built-in projector. While pico projectors have their uses, we’re not sure if many consumers will actually need one.

In any case take it with a grain of salt, but with reports that Samsung is planning an early launch of the Galaxy S8 to get rid of the bad taste the Note 7 left behind due to its exploding batteries, hopefully we won’t have to wait too long to find out. In the meantime are you excited about what you’ve heard so far?
