Ever since the Samsung Galaxy S8 was released early this year, many fans have already started talking about what the next model of their flagship smartphone brings to the table. According to reports, the Korean tech manufacturer will raise the bar higher in the competition once they roll out the new Samsung Galaxy S8. There will be new exciting features that will surprise many people including a 4K display support.

Previous reports suggested that the company might bring the bendable screen technology on the upcoming flagship model; however, recent rumors point to a different design. If rumors prove to be true, the Samsung Galaxy S8 will get a 4K or Ultra HD display technology, which will become the first in its class to have such amazing feature. There are speculations all over the Internet saying that Samsung has decided to reserve the bendable screen technology to another handset.

In a report by Android Central, tech observers believe that future users of the smartphone might not see the different between 4K and 2K technologies when viewing videos and photos. However, consumers will certainly appreciate the VR feature if paired with a device with 4K display.

Current VR users complain about inconsistent resolution when using it on their smartphones with 2K screens. Switching over to a device with 4K capability will definitely give users an improved VR experience.

Meanwhile, the company has yet to provide solid information with regard to the development and release date of the rumored flagship smartphone. However, many fans believe that the company will give good amount of details in the future as they prepare for a big release next year.

According to Albany Daily Star, the device will be priced at a thousand U.S. dollars once it hits the shelves.

Nothing is set in stone yet but the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S8 will likely come out around the first or second quarter of 2017.
