If you are wondering who ZeniMax are and where did they come from, then let me enlighten you first with a bit of background info. ZeniMax is the company which had sued Facebook Oculus Rift for copyright infringement and had even won that lawsuit. They also own multiple gaming companies like id Software and Bethesda, which has given them access to multiple patents in the VR and gaming genre in general. Now that they have won their case and profited $500 million as penalty from Facebook, Samsung is next on their radar as they are alleging the Korean company for the following.

 

"(Samsung) continued to develop the Gear VR with full knowledge of ZeniMax's allegations and without obtaining any right or permission from ZeniMax to use any of its copyrights or other confidential information. "

 

Apparently, the codes used in the development of the Gear VR breaches copyright and enters the field of "trade secret misappropriation, unfair competition, and unjust enrichment," according to ZeniMax. We will have to wait and see how the court decides on this one.

You can now officially buy the Exynos variant of the Galaxy S8+ in the US and that's definitely good news for those of you who like Samsung's own 10nm Exynos 8895 chip more than Qualcomm's 10nm Snapdragon 835. Keep in mind though that both the chips provide near-identical performance when it comes to benchmarks and indiscernible performance when it comes to real life usage. Even then, it's worth knowing that the Exynos version has a more powerful GPU; the Mali-G71 MP20.


You can either buy the device unlocked at full price or from a few carriers that are offering monthly plans for the expensive smartphone, just like the Snapdragon variant. Unfortunately, since the SM-G955FD works only with GSM networks, it won't work on CDMA networks like the ones used by Verizon and Sprint. AT&T and T-Mobile users on the other hand will easily be able to sue the Galaxy S8+ Exynos variant on their networks.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 may sport a bigger display than the Galaxy S8+, but only just at 6.3-inches, according to a rumor on Weibo. Given that the S8+ already sports a humongous 6.2 inch display, we are not exactly complaining. However, this report does contradict previous reports which stated that the Note 8 will possibly sport a 6.4-inch display, which would have brought it to about the same size as the bezel-less Xiaomi Mi Mix from 2016.


The aspect ratio will remain the same at 18.5:9, as reported by the rumor. Although most other specifications mentioned by the rumor remains constant with what has so far been predicted by leaksters and enthusiasts around the internet, this particular report suggests that the Galaxy Note 8 will neither be the first, nor be the only Samsung device to sport a dual camera setup at its back in 2017. The Galaxy X foldable smartphone will allegedly debut before the Note 8 with a dual camera module. We are very apprehensive about the authenticity of this one though, because of two reasons. Firstly, the Galaxy X rumors have been going around forever, without any solid reason to believe that it's about to come out anytime soon. Secondly, it would make no sense for Samsung to debut its first dual camera setup ever on an experimental smartphone ahead of the immensely popular Note line-up. Stay tuned to YouMobile for more updates as they develop.

After everything that's been said and done, the Galaxy S8 and S8+ are two of the best smartphones of 2017 yet and any upcoming smartphone from Samsung itself or other manufacturers will have a hard time beating it. Even then, there's definitely room for improvement on the S8 line-up and on that note, let's check out what Samsung can and should do to improve the Note 8 sufficiently before its final release in the second half of the year.

 

Better Location for the Fingerprint Scanner

 

Let's get the obvious one out of the way first; Samsung needs to place the fingerprint scanner in the middle of the Note 8's back or go with an under-the-display ultrasonic scanner. I am pretty sure that Samsung knows that as well and it will happen.

 

Better Speakers

 

We really need better speakers on the Note 8 because the S8 series features speakers that are simply not fit for a flagship handset to be honest. Especially with Harman under their wing now, it shouldn't be too difficult.

 

Dual Camera at the Back

 

It's not about the gimmick, but about better photos and lossless optical zoom. A tele lens could be a great addition to the upcoming Note.

 

Better Battery

 

This one is the least likely to happen as Samsung will be extra careful with the battery in light of the Note 7 disaster which happened last year. Nevertheless, it would be great to see the massive display of the Galaxy Note 8 being supported by at least a 4,000mAh battery.

Mother's Day is for appreciating our mothers for the crucial roles they play in all our lives and what better way to make them feel appreciated than giving them the gift of Samsung's latest bezel-less wonder! At least that's what T-Mobile thinks anyway as they just announced the "Buy One Get One Free" offer for the Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+, citing Mother's Day in the promotion. Whatever your reasons may be, it definitely sounds like a good deal to get two of the new flagship smartphones for the price of one.


As always, it isn't as simple as it sounds and T-Mobile won't exactly be giving you two brand new Galaxy S8/S8+ handsets for the price of one like one may think. You will have to pay for both the phones with instalments, but once the cost of both the smartphones is covered, T-Mobile will give you a $750 prepaid rebate card. Also, you will have to maintain two connections from T-Mobile as well. This is not to say that it's a bad deal, it's just not "exactly" what it sound like. Then again, when is it ever!
