The latest rumored specs for the Galaxy S8 include a 5.8-inch Super AMOLED display with a 1440 x 2960 resolution. Under the hood, depending on where the phone is purchased, will be the Snapdragon 835 chipset or the Exynos 8895 SoC. Both carry octa-core CPUs. 4GB of RAM is inside, along with 64GB of native storage. A 12MP rear-facing camera comes with an aperture of f/1.7. OIS is included. The front-facing selfie snapper weighs in at 8MP and takes wide angle photographs. Keeping the hamster wheel spinning is a 3000mAh battery.
The Galaxy S8+ has similar specs except for a larger 6.2-inch display, and a 3500mAh battery. Both models have Android 7.1 pre-installed and feature an IP certification rating of IP68. That means that in theory, they can be submerged in water to a depth of nearly 5-feet for up to 30-minutes, and escape unscathed. Both models will also include a fingerprint scanner, iris scanner and face recognition.
