At this rate of information leakage, we're likely to know every single detail about Samsung's upcoming flagship phone well before it launches. 。
Reliable leaks guy Evan Blass just posted a full set of specs for the larger version of the device, apparently named the Samsung Galaxy S8 .。
SEE ALSO:Leaked photos show just how sexy Samsung's Galaxy S8 could look。Most specs aren't out of the ordinary, and some, like the 12-megapixel dual rear camera and 4GB of RAM, are slightly underwhelming. But the spec sheet claims the device will have a huge, 6.2-inch screen (or, in reality, a 6.1-inch screen if you consider the rounded corners).。

This pretty much confirms a set of renders posted in January, which claimed the larger version of the device will have a 6.3-inch screen, in a body that's not significantly larger than that of the 5.5-inch Galaxy S7 Edge. 。
Thanks for signing up! 。
How is this possible? Well, with the home button gone at the bottom and the Samsung logo on top gone, the screen will take a much bigger portion of the phone's face. Welcome to the era of huge-screened smartphones in not-so-huge bodies. 。
Other specs of note include 64GB of memory with microSD card support, an iris scanner, dust and water resistance, wireless charging and earphones "tuned by AKG." 。
Originally slated to launch in February, the Galaxy S8 -- and it's larger brother -- are now expected to launch in April. 。 UPDATE: Feb. 23, 2017, 3:22 p.m. CET 。
The latest rumor, courtesy of Korea's ETnews, says that Samsung will announce the Galaxy S8 in the U.S. on March 29, with the launch date being April 21. 。
Nothing has been officially confirmed at this point, though we might get an official teaser video later this week at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. 。
