The Mysterious Samsung Galaxy S8 Leak: A Closer Look
As we dive deeper into the world of tech rumors and leaks, it's essential to separate fact from fiction. Recently, two YouTube videos posted by Samsung Display have sparked excitement among fans, but let's take a closer look at what these videos really show.
The Source of the Leak
--------------------
According to the transcription, the source of these reports is not directly linked to Samsung's Galaxy S8 design team. Instead, it appears that the videos were shown as examples of the company's overall smartphone display technology, provided to other companies as well as for their own devices. Both videos show a smartphone with very small bezels on the top and bottom, as well as no physical home button.
A More Authentic Render?
-------------------------
The author suggests that this design might be more authentic than the rumored Galaxy S8 design. However, it's essential to note that the leaked render is not directly linked to Samsung's Galaxy S8 plans. The design language of the Galaxy S Series is consistent with what we see in these videos, but the source of the leak makes it difficult to confirm whether this is indeed the final product.
The Trend of On-Screen Keys and Bezel-less Displays
---------------------------------------------------
Multiple reports out of Korea suggest that Samsung will finally abandon the physical home button in favor of on-screen keys. This trend has been popularized by other companies, and removing the home button can help with aesthetics. The author expects Samsung to capitalize on this trend, making the Galaxy S8 even edgier.
Curved Designs and Edge Technology
-------------------------------------
According to Korean reports, the Galaxy S8 will feature curved designs on the top and bottom, in addition to the sides. This is a safe bet, given the immense success of edge design technology. The author also expects that Samsung will remove any visible fingerprint sensor from the device, rumored to be integrated into the screen for a cleaner design.
A Lesson Learned: Don't Get Too Excited
-----------------------------------------
The author takes a moment to reminisce about the 2015 Galaxy S5 launch, where they were part of the hype train. Unfortunately, the final product didn't live up to expectations. The author warns fans not to get too excited and to stay sober about it.
Xiaomi MI6: A Successor in the Works?
-----------------------------------------
Moving on from the Samsung Galaxy S8, we have news about the Xiaomi MI6. According to leaked images and hardware info, the MI6 could be a successor to the Xiaomi MI5 smartphone. The Chinese base site mydrivers.com claims that the MI6 will have 4GB of RAM and a flat screen display.
MI6 Pro: A Curved Display Variant?
--------------------------------------
The same source suggests that there might be a MI6 Pro variant, which would feature a curved display similar to how Samsung launched the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge in 2016. The MI6 Pro could have 6GB of RAM, Quick Charge 4 technology, and a front fingerprint sensor.
Pricing: What Can We Expect?
-------------------------------
The site claims that the launch price for the MI6 could be around $288 US, while the MI6 Pro might cost $360. These prices are subject to change and might not be accurate.
In conclusion, while these leaks and rumors can be exciting, it's essential to separate fact from fiction and take everything with a grain of salt. The world of tech is full of surprises, but only time will tell what the final products look like.
