Samsung Galaxy S8’s Continuum-like Desktop Feature Shown in Concept Image

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.

The Samsung Galaxy Note7 (S820) Review

This year has been difficult for smartphones, which is a bit of a paradox when you consider just how much better things have gotten compared to last year. With Snapdragon 820, 650, 652, and 625 we've finally moved past the shadow of the Snapdragon 810, 808, and 617/615. While there were Android devices that shipped with the Exynos 7420, they were often paired with a modem that was not necessarily the most power efficient. Despite all of this, there seems to be a general disappointment with smartphones. People are increasingly finding it hard to justify phones like the HTC 10 or Galaxy S7 with competition from OnePlus, Xiaomi, and even Apple with their iPhone SE. In this context the Galaxy Note7 brings much of the flavor of the Galaxy S7 edge, but blends it with the S-Pen of the Note line and a few new features like the iris scanner. If you were paying attention to the industry with the launch of the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy Note5, it's very much more of the same rather than the m

Why do Android fanboys hate admitting that Samsung copied Apple?

It's impossible to cover the mobile market without diving into the good ol' "iOS vs. Android" debate from time to time. These are the two biggest mobile platforms on the planet, so they're constantly being compared. Likewise, Samsung and Apple are the world's top two smartphone vendors, so their phones are constantly pitted against each other as well. Of course, there's another reason Apple and Samsung are often mentioned in the same breath: after entering the market, Samsung quickly grew to become the top mobile device maker on the planet thanks in large part to Apple. First, Samsung did everything it possibly could to copy Apple's iPhone and iPad. Then, it spent billions upon billions of dollars belittling Apple products in TV, online, and print advertising. Samsung spent years positioning its own devices as the cool alternative to Apple's iPhone, and its efforts paid off big time. Even now, Samsung continues to copy Apple all the time acro
