Smartphone fans are already excited over what Samsung and Apple have next for their customers. Two of the most awaited devices this year are the iPhone 8 and the Samsung Galaxy S8.

iPhone 8 specs and features

Apple's iPhone 8 is expected to be a "revolutionary" device with great changes set to be introduced by the Cupertino-based company. Among the anticipated developments on the phone include a bigger device, steel makeup for the phone and an OLED display.

The device is also thought to have an improved water and dust resistance rating, which means that it can be submerged for about 30 minutes on 1.5 meters of water. Those who love to travel and take on adventures will surely love this additional feature.

This offering from Apple is said to be its response to the waterproofing that Samsung introduced in the Galaxy S7 and could continue on the Samsung Galaxy S8. The Korean company made use of waterproofing tapes to seal its devices from the elements.

What to expect from the Samsung Galaxy S8

Speculated to come out in April, the Samsung Galaxy 8 is believed to have minimal bezels on its display, making the phone look a lot slimmer. This is expected to provide a bigger screen for users to maximize when doing various tasks.

As for its camera, the Korean company could also improve its front-facing camera. There are reports indicating that an autofocus feature could be introduced. This will give users better selfies and clearer photos taken by the secondary camera.

Iris scanner possible

Aside from these features, there are also theories suggesting that the Samsung Galaxy S8 could have an iris recognition feature for increased security. This means that the user can unlock his or her phone by just looking into it.

Surely, there is a lot to anticipate from Apple and Samsung when it comes to their next devices. What do you want to see in the iPhone 8 and Samsung Galaxy S8?
