14 DAY TRIAL // A few days ago, we reported that Samsung might include a Continuum-like feature on the upcoming Galaxy S8, and SamMobile has stumbled upon a concept image that reveals what the feature might look like.
The concept image was released by Androbit and reveals how the Galaxy S8 UI might look when the phone is connected to an external monitor. The Continuum-like feature would allow Galaxy S8 owners to connect their phones to a monitor using a dock and get full-fledged desktop capabilities on their latest Samsung flagship.
All of this is uncertain at this point, there are only some rumors regarding this new feature and even the name of the new tool is unclear. However, considering that Android 7.0 Nougat is offering Freeform Window Mode, it doesn’t seem improbable for Samsung to include such a useful feature on the upcoming Galaxy S8.
The Galaxy S8 will be announced in April
Aside from a Continuum-like feature, the Galaxy S8 is also rumored to come with an external S Pen accessory, which would integrate all the functionality found on the late Galaxy Note 7. Moreover, the upcoming smartphone might have 8GB of RAM and the latest SoC from Qualcomm, Snapdragon 835.
Samsung is rumored to incorporate a Samsung SDI battery in the Galaxy S8, but the capacity is unknown at this point. The Galaxy S8 will be provided in two variants, one with a 5.7-inch screen and the other with a 6-inch display.
Both variants of the smartphone will have dual-edge curved displays, while some say that Samsung might actually release a flat variant after all. Samsung is said to start mass production of the Galaxy S8 in March and announce the smartphone in April. It remains to be seen what specs and features will be found on the final variant.
