SAMSUNG SHOCK: The Galaxy S8 will reportedly play host to this innovative new feature

The Samsung Galaxy S8 is now just days away from being formally unveiled.

That hasn't stopped the leaks flowing, however, with latest reports focussing on the upcoming phone's camera.

While it's widely expected that the S8 will play host to the same 12-megapixel camera as last year's Galaxy S7, it appears that doesn't tell the whole story.

Instead, it's now been claimed that the iPhone rival will play host to impressive new video recording abilities.

Instead of adding more 4K or HDR abilities that you're unlikely to notice, however, it's suggested the S8 will feature video skills that are sure to grab attention.

So, what can you expect? Well, according to a new report from Naver, a news outlet in Samsung's native South Korea, the Galaxy S8 will feature some seriously impressive slow-motion capture abilities.

It's been suggested that the phone will be able to shoot video at a staggering 1000 frames-per-second.

By contrast, the iPhone 7's slow-mo skills currently max out at a relatively modest 240fps.

CONCEPT PHONES

According to the latest leaks, the new high frame rate camera abilities will be made possible by adding DRAM to the camera sensor.

Used to buffer memory, DRAM is what made it possible for the recently unveiled Sony Xperia XZ Premium to capture 960fps slow-motion footage at 720p HD quality.

Although the Galaxy S8 will follow in a similar fashion, further reports have claimed the phone will use a different sensor to the Sony model, giving it a slight edge.

That's not the only camera improvement the eagerly awaited Galaxy S8 will introduce either.

Elsewhere, it's been suggested that the phone's front-facing selfie camera will be given a boost, jumping to a new 8-megapixel sensor, up on last year's 5-megapixel offering.

Beyond the cameras, the Galaxy S8 is shaping up as one of the most impressive smartphones of all time.

Multiple leaks and countless rumours have suggested the phone will ditch its physical home button and cut down on unnecessary framing, allowing a massive 5.8-inch curved QHD display to be squeezed into a body no bigger than last year's 5.1-inch Galaxy S7.

This sizeable screen will be complimented with Qualcomm's latest high-end Snapdragon 835 processor, 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage, expandable via microSD.

With the missing home button forcing the phone's integrated fingerprint scanner to be moved to the rear of the device, an integrated iris scanner will reportedly be added up front, with Android 7.1 Nougat also expected to make the cut.

Fortunately, despite having already been hit by delays, the Samsung Galaxy S8 release date is now tantalisingly close.

The phone will be formally unveiled on March 29 ahead of an in-store release in mid-April.

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
