Samsung does not only choose the latest and most powerful processing chip Snapdragon 835, but also uses a new screen design for Samsung Galaxy. By using almost no border design, Samsung achieves the goal of creating the maximum display area of ??the screen. It is rumored that there will be two other versions with larger screen: 5.8 inches and 6.2 inches separately. At the same time, the body of the device will become narrower and higher so that the size of the phone is still fit in the hands.

LG has given up the "modular mobile phone" concept but apply the glass and metal design which is more popular. LG G6 will also abandon some of the core concept of LG. For example, it does not use removable batteries, but will come with screen at a incredible utilization ratio which is more than 90%. G6 screen ratio may be even higher than the Galaxy S8, which means that the G6 has an almost full front screen. The G6's 5.7-inch screen ratio of its length and width is only 18:9, making it higher, narrower and easier for users to hold the device in the hands.

Unlike the non-practical S-Voice, Bixby is said to have significant improvements in terms of accuracy and speed.

According to official news, Samsung Galaxy S8 and LG G6 release date will respectively fall on March 29 and February 26.

According to South Korean media reports, Samsung Galaxy S8 will be  on sale on April 21. But in fact, because of supply reasons, this time is one week later than the original time set by the company.

However, although Galaxy S8 is available on April 21, it is still early. The company has already considered the pre-sale schedule, and now the results is not yet been determined. And South Korea's three airlines have prepared for the Samsung S8 pre-sale issues. However, many mobile phone manufacturers still want to continue to observe and analyze the LG G6 market.

Galaxy S8:
# 1 Touch screen
Interestingly, the rumors also said taht Galaxy S8 will be equipped with a touch screen which is similar to the iPhone's 3D Touch. It is not clear whether the entire screen or just the bottom of the screen supports touch function, but it will have a touch function.

# 1 Waterproof
