Following the entire exploding battery fiasco of the Samsung Galaxy Note 7, the South Korean tech giant has a lot to make up for in terms of getting the trust of its consumers back. Now, new reports have revealed that the company may be able to achieve this with their latest flagship smartphone for 2017, the new Samsung Galaxy S8.

Rumors and leaks are now making the rounds online, and the reports have revealed some very unbelievable specs and features for the upcoming flagship smartphone. Samsung has done a lot of revolutionary things to their products over the years and this time the new Galaxy S8 may herald a new breed of smartphones that is significantly better than this year's offerings.

A recently uncovered AnTuTu benchmark result showed some very amazing scores for what is now rumored to be the Galaxy S8. While the results doesn't really specify the device used to run the test, many fans believe that the scores could only have been achieved with a flagship device, and most likely from Samsung. The alleged Samsung Galaxy S8 results showed a whopping score of 203,737, a score that is significantly higher than the Apple iPhone 7 and the company's own Galaxy S7.

According to an alleged leak on a Weibo page, the Samsung Galaxy S8 will apparently be packing a lot of high-tech internals this time around. The leak reveals that the Galaxy S8 will likely have a yet to be identified Octa-core Qualcomm Processor with an unbelievable 3.2GHz clock speed. The fast processor is also believed to be paired with a large 6 GB of RAM. The device is also rumored to come with a 5.2-inch 4K display with a 4096x2160 pixel resolution.

Other rumored specs and features for the upcoming device includes a 30 megapixel main camera, dual micro SD card support, a 4,200 mAh Battery, an iris scanner, and a rumored built-in projector.
