March 27, 2017

We are just two days away from official announcements and now we got one more leak which shows Sony IMX333 sensor used for Galaxy S8 and S8+.

As per the above leaks there is no such model sensor in Sony website so we can take it might be fake or may be used specific for Samsung flagship.

Next up in S8-related news is the Quick Launch feature which allows you to quickly open up the camera of a locked Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge by quickly pressing the home button twice. Samsung has reportedly moved the feature to the power button on the side, as seen in the screenshot below.

Samsung Galaxy S8+ Orchid Grey leaked again with hands on video

March 23, 2017

We have already seen many leaks of this upcoming flagship from Samsung and now we have the hands on video leaked with the demo of new AI Bibxy.

As per LeaksArena they have got couple of shots of the Orchid Grey color version of Samsung Galaxy S8+ .Here they are for your viewing pleasure, though be advised that the handset in question could use the touch of a microfiber cloth.

Samsung Galaxy S8+ Orchid Grey.

You can see from the above leak the S8 duo still have glass back which are fingerprint magnet and must keep cleaning with a cloth. We can even see there is no Home button anymore and has on screen navigation button now and finger print sensor is moved back near to the Camera. It looks weird that fingerprint sensor is located at top right and it is difficult to operate.

But wait, there’s more! Samsung has already announced Bixby, the built-in virtual assistant coming on the S8 duo, but chose to do so in text-only form. So we haven’t seen any images or videos of it in action. Until now, that is. The very, very short video below says that’s Bixby over there, doing its thing… somewhere on the screen. It’s tough to tell, because of the incredible blurriness of the recording (and how short it is isn’t helping either).
