 By Unknown on April 24, 2017       

Samsung's latest smartphones, the Galaxy S8 and S8+ have shown us how it should bring back the lost trust for a brand that has gone through the entire Galaxy Note 7 debacle six months ago. The entire world waited for six months, and each and every member is definitely impressed with the phone. 

According to the data released by analytics firm IHS Markit on April 20, its costs $307.5 to Samsung for building a single unit of the Galaxy S8 and that's way higher than the Apple iPhone 7. To be precise, it is nearly $82.70 more than the iPhone 7 manufacturing costs. 

Also, the firm revealed that the Galaxy S8 is the most expensive smartphone to build. Sadly, the firm did not reveal the manufacturing cost of Galaxy S8+. If it does, then surely, the S8+ would have been the most expensive one. 

The Galaxy S8 and S8+ comes with an innovative edge-to-edge display, top notch hardware, and great cameras as well. Certainly, the phones are a great deal to watch out for.

 By Unknown on April 24, 2017       

It's been just one month since Samsung unveiled the Galaxy S8 and S8+ and the company has already started working with Qualcomm for the Galaxy S9's processor. 

Samsung and Qualcomm have partnered with each other last year, and Samsung solely manufactured the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 SoC, which also led to several smartphone launch delays.

Also, the report cites that the processor will be called as Snapdragon 845, which is expected to deliver better performance than the Snapdragon 835. But, we can't speak about the performance this early. 

The Snapdragon 845 SoC is also expected to be built on the 10nm manufacturing process as Samsung recently teased its second-generation 10nm manufacturing process promising 10 percent better performance and 15 percent more power efficiency.
