The US version of the device is said to be powerful as it is expected to house a Snapdragon 830 CPU. In other markets, the Galaxy S8 is projected to run an Exynos SoC with 4GB of RAM. However, the Dream 2 model is said to pack 6GB of RAM.

In terms of its camera, the device is anticipated to have dual-lens camera with a resolution between 18 and 24 megapixels and f/1.4 aperture which is perfect for low-light views.
