Samsung is all set to unveil its flagship phablet Note 6 -- or will it be called Note 7 -- this year. According to recent reports, the Note 7 will be launched in August. While currently all the buzz, as far as Samsung's Galaxy is concerned, is about the leaked images and specifications of the Note 7, rumours about the Galaxy S8, which should come in first quarter of next year have also started doing rounds.

A report by Android Headlines suggests that Samsung will launch Galaxy S8 at Mobile World Congress (MWC) next year. But that's not the big leak because that is a given. Samsung, for the last few years, have always launched the next Galaxy at the MWC. The news this time is that the next flagship phone will sport a dual-camera setup on the back and a 4K UHD display on the front.

The rumour of a 4K display fits in line with the recent announces from Samsung. The company recently unveiled 5.5-inch 4K UHD display during SID Display Week last month. The UHD display has a resolution of 3840 X 2160 pixels.

The report says that the company is probably coming up with such high-resolution display because of increasing popularity of virtual reality. Now with the launch of Google's Daydream it seems feasible that a leading Android brand will try to make use of it.

Daydream is Google's in-house project to deliver high quality mobile VR. "Together with Android manufacturers, we're working on upcoming phones, and sharing designs with them for a VR viewer and controller that will be really immersive, comfortable and intuitive to use," Google CEO Sundar Pichai said at the IO event last month.

Other than the 4K UHD display, the report also suggests that the Galaxy S8 will come with a dual-camera setup on the back. Not much is known regarding the dual-camera. But it is expected, due to a 4K display and increased camera requirements, the phone will also carry a bigger battery.

Considering the launch of S8 is still a while away, not many details are available on the innards of the flagship. However, the phone is rumoured to carry a Snapdragon 830 processor, which is still in production. The Snapdragon 830 will be more energy efficient than the current 820.

None of the reports offer any details about the screen size or design of the phone. Since both the last flagships, S6 and S7, shared similar designs, we can expect the company to take a step forward and deliver something new.
