It’s happening! Samsung Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ are finally coming to India on April 19 and the two smartphones will be sold online exclusively via the e-commerce website Flipkart. Though the two smartphones will be up for pre-orders at 12 noon on April 19, 2017. However, details regarding the on-ground sale will be unveiled at the launch event tomorrow.
According to reports, pre-orders for Samsung Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ have already crossed the mark of 7,20,000 units in South Korea. The two devices are likely to help Samsung get over its Galaxy Note 7 debacle, which resulted in the Korean electronics giant recalling its entire stock of the devices from across the globe.
Both the smartphones– the 5.8-inch Galaxy S8 and the 6.2-inch Galaxy S8+ feature Infinity Display with no bezels on the sides. The two smartphones feature a 12MP rear camera with dual pixel technology and an 8MP front camera with auto focus.
On the security front, both Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ feature support for iris scanner, fingerprint scanner and a facial recognition system. Samsung is launching the Exynos 8995 octa-core processor variant of the two devices in India, which will run on Android version 7.0 Nougat.
The two devices come with 4 GB RAM and 64 GB internal memory which can be expanded up to 256 GB via a microSD. On the communication front, both the smartphones feature support for LTE Cat 16, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS and USB Type-C.
