The Galaxy S8 will apparently have more security options than any of its predecessors, according to new reports today. Rumors out of Korea claim that Samsung will include facial recognition technology in the Galaxy S8 and its larger brother, the Galaxy S8 Plus. This would be in addition to fingerprint and iris scanners we've already seen in previous Samsung devices.
Get ready for another report about the iPhone 8, because The Wall Street Journal has published a doozy today. According to the paper, the next iPhone will sport a curved OLED display, though we've heard some kind of variant of that claim frequently over the past few months. What's really surprising about the WSJ's report is the claim that Apple will ditch Lightning with the iPhone 8 in favor of USB-C.
Samsung and LG are gearing up to officially reveal their flagship devices for 2017 in the next few weeks, and while we already know a lot about these handsets, there's one important detail about both that's still a mystery: release dates. New reports are painting a clearer picture in that regard, leaking out the South Korean release dates for both handsets.
Another day, another Galaxy S8 leak. At this point, we more or less know what to expect when Samsung reveals its new flagship in the coming weeks, but today, we get to see an image that supposedly places the standard Galaxy S8 and the larger Galaxy S8 Plus side-by-side. There's actually a lot of information to glean from this one grainy image, so let's dive into it.
We've heard a lot about the suspected edge-to-edge OLED display in the next iPhone, but the screen may not be the only thing getting a makeover. According to a new rumor, the iPhone 8 could end up offering a new front-facing camera as well. This camera could be able to detect objects in 3D space, thanks to a number of new modules.
We're getting down to the wire as far as Samsung's Galaxy S8 reveal is concerned. Though we know it won't be making an appearance at MWC 2017 later this month, we should get an official reveal shortly after. With its anticipated announcement seemingly on the horizon, the leaks are ramping up, and today a new one is giving us some new information on the Galaxy S8's color and price.
The rumor mill has churned out just about every single detail about the Samsung Galaxy S8 that we can imagine over the past few weeks. Now that we're likely less than a month out from the final release of the device by Samsung to the world, it's time to see what the rest of the market is up against. Images released by 3D design artists have tipped off the finder details of the device - now we're getting down to brass tacks - so to speak.
We've had a pretty steady supply of Galaxy Tab S3 rumors up to this point, but it looks like we might finally be closing in on a reveal. The tablet made a stop at the FCC today, with two models - WiFi only (SM-T825) and LTE (SM-T820) - gaining certification. This suggests that we'll soon be able to put months of rumors to rest, because we should see Samsung reveal the device quickly.
Is it too early to begin talking about the Pixel 2? Some would almost certainly say yes, but the mysterious, unnamed sources responsible for keeping the rumor mill churning say no. We're hearing a lot of new information about Google's follow up to the Pixel today - all of it is interesting but none of it is confirmed, so proceed with caution.
Another day, another massive telecom company looking to expand its reach through mergers and acquisitions. Today the culprit is Verizon, and according to new reports, it's looking to add Charter to its portfolio of subsidiaries. Adding Charter to its ranks would expand Verizon's business significantly, but for the moment, Verizon is only in preliminary talks about a potential buyout.
2016 was pretty light on new iPad models, but if new reports are to be believed, we could be looking at a 2017 that's packed with iPads. Apple is said to be looking to launch three new iPad models in 2017, with mass production getting underway on all three within the first half of the year. That would open the window to launching all three in the second half, or even earlier if Apple decides it want to get these to market as soon as possible.
Apple's iPhone 8 will be released at some point, but the data we're looking at today suggests that it wont be out in the year 2017. Apple won't be skipping a year for iPhone releases - there's no good reason for them to do so. Instead, one of two major possibilities is that the next iPhone won't be an iPhone 8 at all, but an iPhone 7s. Imagine that - Apple following the same release schedule they've been on for over six years - madness!
