Notorious leaker Evan Blass has really been happening lately. With MWC 2017 just around the corner, one leak after another is pouring out, and most of them concern Samsung. This time he released the complete specifications Galaxy S8+, i.e. larger variants of the two flagships that Samsung has prepared for us this year.
Unfortunately it is missing informace about the processor and battery capacity, but on the other hand we learn a lot of other interesting things. First of all, the specifications reveal that the larger model will offer a 6,2-inch or 6,1-inch (curved corners) QHD+ Super AMOLED display, a 12-megapixel rear camera with dual-pixel autofocus, and an 8-megapixel front camera.
As for other specifications, the flagship model will offer 4GB of RAM, 64GB of internal storage, a microSD card slot and IP68 certification, which tells us that the device will be resistant to water and dust, i.e. the same as the current Galaxy S7. We will also get an iris reader together with Samsung Knox security technology and, of course, support for Samsung Pay. There will also be support for wireless charging, with the charging pad sold separately.
The last and at the same time one of the most interesting news in the entire leak are the new headphones tuned by AKG. So Samsung has already managed to use its recent acquisition of Harman and prepare new headphones for us, which they will pack right away Galaxy S8 +.
Although Evan Blass is indeed a reliable source as the vast majority of his previous leaks have been true, one still needs to take the specs Galaxy S8+ with a reserve and really wait until the revelation directly from Samsung. The South Korean giant should introduce the new flagship models in about a month, and we will probably hear about them for the first time at MWC next week.
