Samsung is all set to unwrap its upcoming Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus at the end of this month. Both the smartphones have gone under thorough leak roundups and we are in the final stage of leaks before Samsung unveil the devices to the world. The latest of them all come from GeekBench. The elder brother i.e. the Galaxy S8 Plus has now been spotted on the famous Benchmarking website and confirms Snapdragon 835 chipset inside. Not only this, the listing also shows up Android 7.0 Nougat and 4GB RAM. For the results, the device scored 1929 points for SIngle-core test and 6084 for the multi-core tests. Qualcomm unveiled the latest Snapdragon 835 chip at this years CES (Consumer Electronics Show) in January, however, the company is yet to release the SoC commercially.
Further, Samsung has been in the new before for claiming almost the entire available stock of the Snapdragon 835 chipset which is why all the latest flagships launched at this year’s MWC came with last year’s Snapdragon 821. On the other hand, the upcoming Galaxy S8 series will also come with an Exynos Chip variant.
Meanwhile, Samsung has reportedly started products for about 10 million units. The South Korean giant is set to unveil the device on March 29. To break this down, Samsung is manufacturing 4.7 million units of the Galaxy S8 which will be ramped up to 7.8 million by April. We don’t have the figures for S8 Plus as the report doesn’t reveal how many units Samsung is manufacturing and planning to sell initially.
Moreover, a new report by Android Headlines points out to a new trademark which Samsung recently filed in the United States. The trademark was reportedly for ‘Infinity Display’ which is likely to be placed beneath the Super AMOLED curved screen up top. Now, we don’t really know a lot about this display but we assume it has something to do with the bezel-less display which Samsung’s upcoming flagship smartphones will come.
