Samsung’s Galaxy S8 Might Be More Galaxy Note7-Like Than You Think
Samsung feels really bad about what happened to the Note7 and wants to make it up to its loyal users. How? Via the Galaxy S8 of course.
Rumours that Samsung will launch a Galaxy S8 Plus model with a 6-inch display, show pretty clearly the company is looking to venture into phablet territory in order to appease those still nostalgic about the Note7.
Now a new leak, suggest that the Galaxy S8 might come with an external S Pen accessory. This means the S Pen won’t be housed inside the flagship, but will be sold separately for an extra amount of cash.
Lots of customers have been reluctant to return the Galaxy Note7 because they view the Galaxy S7 as a downgrade. But an S Pen touting Galaxy S8 would be an entirely different affair.
Many things have been whispered about Samsung’s next-gen S flagship including that it will come bundling the Note7 iris scanner and will draw power from a Snapdragon 835. The phone should come without a physical home button and a 3.5 mm headphone jack.

Samsung is expected to unveil the Galaxy S8 during its customary Unpacked Event at MWC 2024.
