With the launch of S8, the South Korean giant is trying re-establish the lost faith on their Galaxy smartphones.
Likely to hit the market this coming September, as most major Apple phone releases do, the 10th anniversary edition of the iPhone is rumored to be pricier that past generations - possibly starting in the neighborhood of $1,000.
Both of Samsung devices have octa-core CPUs, and the same Exynos 7870 Octa chipset, so, you don't have to worry about choosing the best performance between the two. It comes in five colors: midnight black, maple gold, coral blue, arctic silver and orchid gray. The smartphone is very impressive and it raises the bar for the likes of Google and Apple.
The handset offers a wide selection of biometric technologies, including a fingerprint scanner, iris scanner and facial recognition.
There is also a Samsung S8 Microsoft version.
Australia scraps visa for skilled foreign workers
As soon as the announcement came regarding the end of 457 work visa , reactions started coming in, from Australian startups. For the shorter visa, more than 200 jobs will be removed from an existing list of about 650 eligible professions.
If this is a move that turns out to be true, then it would definitely be taking a similar path that Samsung took with their Galaxy S8. Executives describing the phone focused mostly on its aesthetics, and went through the specs fairly quickly, a strategy probably meant to avoid "discussing things like the battery, which could remind people of their troubles, " said Simon Blanchard, assistant professor of marketing at Georgetown University's McDonough School of Business. Given that state of affairs, the Seoul-based company will naturally be looking to outsell the widely successful Galaxy S7 and the Galaxy S7 Edge in hopes of overshadowing last year's fiasco that cast some doubt on the company's management structure and quality assurance practices, the latter of which have already been improved, which is something that Samsung is eager to publicize.
The recall wiped out billions of dollars in profits for Samsung and hurt their brand. LG and Samsung are entering into a new territory where the huge and expansive size of the display ends up inextricably with the rest of the hardware design. There is a digital home screen button, and you can return home by pressing hard on the home button area, even when you're using an app and the digital home button isn't shown. The feature is also integrated with the camera so that it can identify objects like buildings, or a particular bottle of wine.
Mobile phones are adopting many changes right now. Available in 5.8-inch Galaxy S8 and 6.2-inch Galaxy S8+, the Infinity Display and bezel-less design form a smooth, continuous surface with no buttons or harsh angles.
One of the most surprising announcements was something the company calls Samsung Dex. Or maybe the distance that the phone was held from the camera? The camera app will include built-in Snapchat-like stickers that can be placed over images. Samsung had pushed the engineering envelope with the Note 7 battery, which contributed to spontaneous combustions.
The company that launched the premium device in late February said the promotional events take place just ahead of the phones reaching the world's largest consumer market.
