iPhone 8 – "All Glass" Flexible OLED vs Galaxy S8 & S8 Edge "All Screen" [Latest Rumours,Features]

SAMSUNG is set to unveil a dramatic new design for its upcoming Galaxy S8. It is rumoured to boast an "all-screen" design with razor-thin bezels around the display. Samsung Galaxy S8 is expected to ship at MWC 2017. It's been a full two years since the Samsung flagship underwent a facelift, with the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge being more of a subtle refinement of the design debuted with the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge.

And with Apple rumoured to be planning a radical new look for its tenth anniversary iPhone in 2017, it makes sense that Samsung wants to unveil something spectacular. According to sources within Samsung, the company's next-generation flagship phone will push the boundaries of design with its "all-display" look. Samsung is expected to ditch the bezel around the display – extending the screen to the very edge of the chassis.

In terms of display size, the South Korean firm is expected to release the 5.1-inch and 5.5-inch variations of 4k displays with stunning cameras as seen on the S7 and S7 Edge.

Samsung is expected to follow Apple's idea and ditch the industry-standard 3.5mm headphone port with the Galaxy S8. There are plenty of headphones already on the market that support USB Type-C, however, Samsung is rumoured to be developing its own proprietary port to replace the 3.5mm port.

According to a report , the South Korean firm plans to incorporate new voice assistant "Viv" in its next flagship smartphone. Making an exclusive deal with chip maker, Qualcomm, Samsung's galaxy S8 will be the fastest Android phone ever.

Samsung’s device is expected to the first major one in the world to offer an optical fingerprint sensor. The sensor would be placed under the display and will be an optical scanner armed with ultrasonic sensors which will make it faster and more accurate than regular fingerprint sensors.

The traditional Home Button, which doubles-up as a fingerprint scanner on the new Galaxy S devices, will be replaced with a virtual one that "will be buried in the glass in the lower section" of the phone. It's not clear whether that means the button will be capacitive key, like those found on rival Android phones, or a pressure-sensitive 3D Touch technology used in the latest iPhones.

Speaking of the APPLE, it is also staged with an all-new design for its 10th anniversary iconic iphone. the source of Wall Street Journal reported that apple wants iPhone 8 to appear like a single sheet of glass. The Cupertino company is also rumoured to be experimenting with an OLED display technology, as well as curved edge to edge glass that wraps around the smartphone. 

Apple also filed the US patent for 'dubbed ultrasonic imaging' – that can be used to recognise a print through a glass display. The patent also suggests that ultrasonic imaging is more accurate than using a standalone fingerprint sensor, like those in the Touch ID scanners used in current generation iPhones. It means Apple could finally drop the iconic Home Button, freeing space above and below the display and making the phone more compact.

Featuring the certified water resistance, facial recognition, longest range wireless & fast charging, A11 chip embedded, iphone 8 will be the fastest and most relevant phone in the world, knocking down its rivals.

According to a new report from Fast Company, the iPhone 8 could cost more than $1,000. That’s price point wouldn’t exactly be a surprise as the most expensive iPhone 7 Plus is $969 for a version with 256GB of memory. The new OLED display that stretches across the entire front of the phone, will costs the Apple twice as much as current LCD displays in the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus. so with the top-of-line 2017 iPhone expected to sport a number of new technologies, be prepared to pay up.

And now another prominent rumour around Apple's upcoming smartphone plans has resurfaced and refused to fade away that Apple is actively investigating the possibility of making a flexible iPhone in the not-too-distant future. According to the US Patent and Trademark Office, Apple is hard at work on "a flexible display that is moveable between a folded position and an unfolded position". In its patent, Apple details on how the unannounced iPhone would play host to "a sensor that detects whether the flexible display is in the folded position or the unfolded position." Working in reverse, this technology will also turn-off the display when it’s re-folded.

well, if this comes to reality around september, iPhone 8 will be the Apple's first iphone with the flexible oled display, glass designed & without a home button.

so guys what are your thoughts on these two flagship giants ready to kickoff 2017's smartphone world. will galaxy S8 & iphone 8 succeeds to attract the buyers in terms of every spin of technology & meeting all our expectations ?..  share them in the comments below..

EVOLUTION OF APPLE 'S iPHONE ( LOOK BACK - 2007 TO 2017 10th Anniversary of Apple )

Apple’s iPhone as the ‘revolutionary’ product celebrated its 10th anniversary on january 9th. The late Apple's  CEO and co-founder, unveiled the first iPhone in 2007 at San Francisco’s MacWorld conference and it has come a long way since then. so lets have a look back at the evolution of the iPhone over the years

Original IPHONE, 2007

The iPhone was the first phone with a completely touch-sensitive screen. With 3.5 inches of display space, the iPhone was the first of its kind to integrate music, a camera and the internet in a phone. Steve Jobs holding the first iPhone. He called it: "a widescreen iPod with touch controls, a revolutionary mobile phone and a breakthrough internet communications device”. The 4GB model sold for $499 and the 8GB model sold $599.

IPHONE 3G, 2008

The first 3G model to have a GPS built into the device. Apple increased the 4GB storage option to larger storage space of 8GB,16GB and 32GB. The second-generation iPhone, the iPhone 3G model took care of one of the first things that the original iPhone couldn’t do, which was “download things at anything better than piddling EDGE data rates.” it was only $199 for the 8GB model when it was released in 2008.

IPHONE 3GS, 2009

“The fastest, most powerful iPhone yet” had a 3MP autofocus camera. This was the first time a new colour option of silver was available, and was the first iPhone to have video recording. The 3GS also addressed some of the complaints about battery life and overheating, and was generally the fastest thing on the market.

IPHONE 4, 2010

When the iPhone 4 came out in 2010 Jobs described it as the most beautiful product Apple has ever released. Apple changed its iPhone design to a glass front, and back with a flat, square interior. The iPhone 4 was most iconic for its front-facing camera, which came with the FaceTime Video calling, and a 5MP camera. The iPhone 4 introduced Apple’s vaunted “retina display” technology to the world. it had a slightly different look from the curved shape of the previous devices, thanks to its steel frame that doubled as an antenna.

IPHONE 4S, 2011

The iPhone 4S came with the largest storage space of 64GB. where in Siri was introduced, which is an intelligent voice assistant to the world that’s been growing as a part of Apple’s ecosystem ever since. This was the first time an iPhone was introduced by Apple's CEO Tim Cook on October 4 2011, a day before Steve Jobs died.

IPHONE 5, 2012

 The iPhone 5 is the first phone to introduce the lightning connector (replacing the old 30-pin ports on older models).  The iPhone 5 had a big change with size increase, from 3.5 inches to 4 inches, creating a room for another row of apps. Despite the increased size, it was thinner and lighter than previous iPhones. This device also came with a new aluminium design and Retina display along with the usual hardware upgrades.

IPHONE 5C, 2013

The iPhone 5C was a step in a relatively new direction for Apple – one toward the non-hyper-premium end of the market. The 5C was packed with a polycarbonate body and thicker construction. The iPhone 5c line had even more colour options of blue, green, yellow, pink and white. The iPhone 5c was designed as Apple’s ‘affordable phone’ to compete with Android. Proposed as a cheaper alternative, the new iPhone 5C was plastic. However, it was still pretty expensive, retailing at £469

IPHONE 5S, 2013

The iPhone 5S was the natural progression of the iPhone 5, bringing improved internals, some new exterior finishes, and was the first device to feature Apple’s TouchID fingerprint security scanning technology to access information and unlock an iPhone . Apple redesigned the iconic home button for the first time and the new colour Gold was added to the spectrum of iPhone colours. Apple stuck with its 4-inch design for the iPhone 5S, instead deciding to upgrade the internal specs and bring a new OS to the new device. We’ve also come far from the first iPhone prices – the new 5S was £549 sim-free in the UK 

IPHONE 6/6 Plus, 2014

The iPhone 6 headed towards a big design move to compete with Samsung. Until 2014, Apple was the only major smartphone maker to sell smaller – as in, less than 5 inches – flagship phones. iPhone 6 was 4.7" & slimmer, at 6.9mm and the bigger iPhone 6 Plus was 5.5" measuring 7.1mm and Both phones have 1080p screen with all-aluminum design and the power button has moved from the top, to the side.

IPHONE 6S/6S Plus, 2015

The iPhone 6S introduced the latest feature 3D Touch making the touch screen pressure-sensitive & allowing you to press on the display with different amounts of force which would make the OS do different things with the information. And a new Rose Gold version was also released in this year. The 6S and 6S Plus was tangled with most hardware upgrades over the previous models, but at least they conclusively fixed the bending problem. 

IPHONE SE, 2016

Similar to the iphone 5, this was meant to be a smaller 4 inch , but still packing in the capacity of the iPhone 6S.  Apple designed the SE as the cheaper and smaller alternative to the iPhone 6. the new phone was available from £359 compared to the iPhone 6S, which started from £539

IPHONE 7/7 PLUS, 2016

The latest and greatest iPhones are the 7 and 7 Plus, rolled out on September 2016 . They’re packed with the most up-to-date hardware and software available featuring advanced dual-lens cameras. Apple’s major move was removing the headphone jack to make a way for wireless Bluetooth headphones. The iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus is the first series of Apple phones to not have a headphone jack and be officially water and dust resistant. As well, a jet black and matte colour variant were added to the Apple colour spectrum. The world was not happy when Apple removed the headphone jack from the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus devices. But an improved battery life and fusion chip, making the device powerful and more efficient did help to shut the annoyance.

So over these Ten years,  Apple has sold more than one billion iPhones worldwide. As 2017 is a great year for Apple's new release, Rumours claim a redesign of iPhone 8 with all glass body, no home button, fast & wireless charging support, and more. so We’ll have to wait and see on how apple kicks off the Smartphone world once again.
