Samsung's Galaxy S8 is making buzz online that it will be packed with a powerful processor for a better gaming experience. Rumors also suggest that the device will have a top-tier 4K screen display.

Following its failed attempt to compete with the iPhone 7, Samsung is upping their game by offering their frustrated customers a more powerful smartphone. According to Android Origin, the South Korean company is eyeing to boost the speed of the Galaxy S8 with ARM's Mali-G71, a GPU rumored to be two times strong as the Galaxy S7's Mali-T880. The said feature will automatically make the device a perfect choice for mobile gamers.

In addition to its monster processor, Mashable reported that the Samsung Galaxy S8 is being rumored to have a 4K resolution screen. The display, which is specifically designed for VR, has a resolution of 3,849 x 2,160 - according to the site. Should this rumor prove to be true, the successor of the S7 (which only has Quad HD resolution) could be the next big product for consumers who enjoy the VR technology.

Similar to Apple's iPhone 7, it is likely that Samsung will also choose to completely dump the headphone jack and introduce the USB-C port audio instead. Meanwhile, the fast charging and fast wireless charging are two of the previously introduced features that will likely remain.

Samsung faced a huge setback after reports of combusting batteries of the Galaxy Note 7 surfaced globally. Due to this ordeal, it is being predicted that the company might release the Galaxy S8 earlier than expected to make up for this year's unexpected loss. Reports are forecasting that the device is likely to be released in February or March next year.
