Samsung’s new flagship phones for 2017 are coming soon, and a series of leaked images have been making the rounds, giving us an idea of what they’ll look like.
Now spec sheets for the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus have also leaked.
It’s probably a good idea to take these specs with a grain of salt, but the first comes from prolific (and typically pretty accurate) leaker Evan Blass, while the other comes from tech news site TechnoBuffalo.
Note that the spec sheets don’t mention the processor, but it’s likely that the US versions of the phones will ship with Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon 835 processor, while some international models will probably have Samsung’s new Exynos 9 Series 8895 chip.

- 8MP front camera

Samsung Galaxy S8+
- 6.2″ 2560 x 1440 pixel Super AMOLED display
- 4GB RAM and 64GB storage + microSD card slot
- Iris scanner
- 12MP dual rear cameras
- 8MP front camera
- IP68 dust and water resistant
- Wireless charging support
Notice any similarities? How about a whole bunch? It seems like the main difference between the two models will be screen size, although I wouldn’t be surprised if Samsung also squeezes a larger battery into the Galaxy S8+ thanks to the phone’s slightly larger body.
While both phones have significantly larger screens than earlier members of the Samsung Galaxy S family, they also have slim bezels, which means the new phone shouldn’t be much bigger than last year’s Galaxy S7.
Samsung is also expected to do away with the physical home button below the screen, something most other Android phone makers dropped a long time ago.
