Both the handsets boast a strange display aspect ratio of 18:9. The Indian variant of the Galaxy S8 and S8+ is likely to come with Exynos 8895 Chipset which is an Octa-Core processor clocked at 2.3 GHz. This is because Samsung sells the Qualcomm variant of its flagship in select regions only.

On the camera front, the Galaxy S8 and S8+ are equipped with a 12-megapixel rear camera with Dual Pixel technology and Aperture f/1.7 and an 8-megapixel front-facing camera with smart Autofocus and aperture f/1.7.MP F1.7 Smart autofocus front camera.

There has been no information about the availability of the device, however, we expect it to be soon as Samsung launching the Galaxy S8 and S8+ within a month of the global launch did come as a surprise but now when the device is all set to launch tomorrow, we expect Samsung to go full throttle for the availability as well.
