Following the mechanical troubles involving the battery of the Galaxy Note 7, Samsung is keen to recoup its loss. With this in mind, the South Korean tech manufacturer is already on its way to unveil a new unit in the first quarter of 2017.
The power issues involving the Note 7 will definitely have a big impact along the production lines of the next Samsung device. Speculations suggest that a removable battery will be included in the company's next flagship smartphone.
In line with this, the South Korean manufacturing giant looks to tap several battery suppliers for the Galaxy S8. Currently, the group is looking to partner with another Korean organization. Having worked with Samsung in the past, LG is a prime candidate to produce the S8's energy component. Previously, the LG Innotek camera systems have been installed on a number of smartphones produced by the Seoul-based organization.
Significant adjustments in manufacturing the S8 battery are expected. One of these will most probably involve the use of polycarbonate materials. Although the item came under heavy scrutiny due to its substandard status, it is likely that Samsung will keep it removable just so fresh replacements can be instituted when necessary.
With this in mind, there may be a need to re-design the Galaxy S8 in order to accommodate the interchangeable power item. Although the classy glass frame will still be manufactured, a modular outline, which the LG G5 portrayed, is needed to fit in the new battery.
Based on reliable leaks, the S8 will possess a curved-display model. This is not really a surprise since Samsung has contemplated that the Galaxy S series will have a curved edge design. No less than the group's mobile head has declared that the 'S' line will keep the edge display as its identity.
Moreover, rumors are swirling around that the S8 will be equipped with VR components which mean that this device will be pitted against Google's Daydream project. Considering the unit's VR compatibility, it is perceived that the S8 will be featuring a 4K resolution with a super AMOLED display.
In addition, the new Galaxy product will be powered by the next generation Exynos 8995 processor. Its 18 to 24-megapixel ranged camera will possess an f/1.4 aperture on a 1/1.7'' CMOS sensor.
