Samsung's Galaxy S8 “to come with a built-in projector”September 27, 2016 - 11:56 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Samsung is going through a bit of a rough patch, with the combustible Galaxy Note 7 going through a recall and another phone model catching sparks on an aircraft, Digital Spy said. It's a period that has led many analysts to predict that the company could accelerate its announcement of the upcoming Galaxy S8, which is currently slated for February 2017. Whether that comes true remains to be seen, though we may already know what the phone will bring to our palms, Digital Spy said. That's after a leak was spotted on Weibo which claims to show a full spec list, complete with pricing and colourway info. If accurate, the Galaxy S8 would surely be the ultimate iPhone killer on the market, with purported specs including a 3.2GHz octa-core Snapdragon processor, 6GB of RAM and a gargantuan 4200mAh battery. The screen is said to be a 5.2-inch 2160 x 4096 one, though the potential standout feature from the handset could be its alleged 30MP rear camera with optical image stabilisation. It also offers a 9MP selfie snapper, wireless and fast charging, iris and fingerprint scanners, 64GB or 128GB of storage and a microSD card slot. So, how accurate and likely is all this? Well, while it wouldn't be surprising for many of the listed features to be offered on the S8, a 30MP camera over dual-lens technology would be an interesting decision — especially when considering the continued lack of interest from companies to increase megapixel numbers, Digital Spy said. Also unlikely is the built-in projector, though Samsung does like to pack its phones full of tech and features. And if you were wondering if Sammy was set to rival Apple's matte black iPhone 7, the phone is expected to drop in the company's regular shiny black, blue, gold and white in April 2017 – a date which would seem to dispel the early release rumours. It will apparently cost you less than the iPhone, Digital Spy said. Top stories Yerevan will host the 2024 edition of the World Congress On Information Technology (WCIT).
