The upcoming flagship phone from the Samsung is a major subject of discussion for the tech news analyzers considering the debacle it faced with Note 7. "Samsung Galaxy S8" would be introduced with stunning specs and features and at the similar price of S7. It is reported that the phone will be coming with USB-C Port and expected release date is the last week of Feb. 2017.

The latest information regarding Samsung Galaxy S8 confirms that it will remove the headphone jack and instead would choose a USB-C port. The new USB-C port is expected to improve the audio quality of the phone. This also means that Samsung Galaxy S8 would be using the same port for charging and listening to music. It is not new to Samsung as the killed-off Note 7 already used USB-C port in it.

Interestingly, the Samsung Galaxy S8 is also rumored to remove the Home button from the phone considering the bezel-less screen is expected. The front camera of the phone is expected to be auto-focus enabled, meaning that the Samsung Galaxy S8 will provide excellent selfies. There are also news reports confirming that Samsung is moving from mono speaker to Stereo speaker and it can be expected in Samsung Galaxy S8.

The price of the device is expected to be around $700, quite similar to where Galaxy S7 started. A Samsung Galaxy S8 Edge version is also expected to be introduced with a slightly larger screen and a price at around $800. The phone is expected to be introduced at the World Mobile Conference that will happen in the last week of February. Sources say that the Samsung phones could be released Feb. 26, 2017.

Samsung is highly pressured after the cancellation of the Note 7 and would try to include latest specs and innovative features in Samsung Galaxy S8. More news and confirmation regarding the phone price, release date, features and specs would be leaked in the coming days. An innovative product will win the market even if the manufacturer has a number of failed products in the past.
