Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+ are likely to feature 5.8-inch and 6.2-inch displays. The devices will be the first to get Qualcomm's Snapdragon 835 processor.

Samsung is planning to launch the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ on March 29 and we have already seen the smartphones leak multiple times in the past. Now, a UK-based retailer MobileFun has listed the device for pre-order ahead of its official announcement.

Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+ are expected to come with 5.8-inch and 6.2-inch Super AMOLED displays. The listing reveals the devices are powered by Qualcomm's Snapdraon 835 processor and have 4GB RAM and 64GB onboard storage. There is a 12MP rear camera and an 8MP front camera. The Samsung Galaxy S8 is rumoured to launch with dedicated Bixby AI assistant. There are also rumours of Samsung introducing a Desktop Dock that will turn the Galaxy S8 into an Android desktop computer.

The listing notes that the Galaxy S8 has a 3000 mAh battery, while the larger S8+ offers 3500 mAh battery. The listed specifications of the Galaxy S8 and S8+ are similar to previous leaks. The Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+ with 64GB storage are listed at £799 (Rs. 64,838 approx) and £899 (Rs. 72,953 approx) respectively. The pricing seems to be on the higher side considering that the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge were launched at £549 and £639 respectively.

Previously, rumours suggested that the Galaxy S8 and S8+ will be priced cheaper than Google's Pixel and Apple's iPhone 7. The Galaxy S8 and S8+ are tipped to arrive in Black, Silver and Violet colour variants.
