Galaxy Note 7 proved to be disastrous for Samsung, as it wiped out Samsung’s profits from mobile business in third quarter of 2016. Due to ill-fated Galaxy Note 7, Samsung reported a 30-percent decline in operating profit. Now, all eyes are set on next flagship device Galaxy S8, which will be released in first quarter of next year. We have been receiving rumors and leaks from past few weeks and some of them are confirmed by Samsung.

This week Samsung has confirmed some of the features of Galaxy S8. Samsung’s vice president for mobile communications Lee Kyeong-tae revealed a few features that will be included in the Galaxy S8. According to The Wall Street Journal, Lee stated
Galaxy S8 will feature an improved Camera, Slick Design as well as an enhanced artificial-intelligence service
Samsung’s previous flagship Galaxy S7 also featured one of the best camera. Galaxy S7’s camera was targeted specifically for low-light and it proved to be best camera phone for low-light snapshots. Now we will see how the camera of next flagship Galaxy S8 works and which photography area is focused by Samsung.
Another improvement in next flagship will be highly enhanced artificial-intelligence service. This announcement may have a concern with recent acquisition of U.S. firm Viv Labs, a voice recognition and artificial intelligence software company, whose co-founders created Siri, Apple's virtual iOS assistant. However, Lee declined to comment on whether Samsung is planning to implement Viv Labs' technology in the next flagship Galaxy S8.
Few other rumors are also circulating that Samsung is planning to have 4K Display and 6GB of RAM in Galaxy S8. This amazing 4k Display will be used to support DayDream VR. Another rumor was the Galaxy S8 may become first smartphone to have stunning Optical Fingerprint Recognition technology so that the fingerprint sensor could be embedded inside the display itself. Galaxy S8 is expected to be unveil at Mobile World Congress 2017, which will be held in Barcelona in February, and will be available for sale in March.
