Samsung Galaxy S8 Specifications

Samsung electronics company launched their new elegant Samsung Galaxy S8 with metal body and glass. Its re-design has 5.8 inch length, which provides the new product a pop look. Company clearly shows that new S8's launch will solve the disappointment caused by Galaxy Note 7 due to its fire prone. It comes with impressive features and specifications.
                              The Samsung Galaxy S8 is Samsung's first major design change since the Samsung Galaxy S6, when Samsung went with premium materials like metal and glass to construct a beautiful device. And beautiful these devices are. Both feature curved edges on both sides so there is no longer an 'edge'-specific model. Samsung responded by implementing new battery safety measures after an internal investigation identified battery problems from two different suppliers as the cause of the Note 7’s problems.Samsung is hoping the design update and the new features – nothing revolutionary but focused on making life easier for consumers – will be enough to revive sales in a year

Anyway the phone is farther better than LG G6. Its price is in the same range of G6 about 49000 rupees (750$). The phone has a non removable battery. You can simply use your s8 as a desk to computer if connected with keyboard and a mouse. Features have been really improved and Phone will be released out soon. Expected release date is April 21 2017. Apple's Iphone 7 is at a range of 650$, lets see whether samsung could recapture its position.
