Another day, another Galaxy S8 rumor. The latest one says that the Samsung could add a new “Beast Mode” to its next flagship. The South Korean smartphone maker has filed with the EU to trademark the phrase Beast mode.
Unfortunately, the trademark application does not include any detailed description hence it is not clear what the Beast Mode refers to. However, considering the name it looks like it will be a performance related feature. The latest version of Android comes with a ‘performance mode’.
Samsung will be introducing two versions of the Galaxy S8 smartphone, one with a 6.2-inch bezel-less display and a 5.7-inch variant with a curved display with model numbers – SM-G950 and SM-G955. Both the phones are said to sport thinner bezels.
According to earlier rumors, the Samsung Galaxy S8 will be suitable for VR out of the box, powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 830 or Samsung Exynos 8895 10nm SoCs and pack 6GB RAM. It is expected to be unveiled at the Mobile World Congress 2017 in February and go on sale in March.
