Samsung is now all warmed up with their new Galaxy smartphone flagship to compete against its rival, the Apple's upcoming iPhone in 2017. The next-generation Samsung Galaxy S8 is expected to be announced by the end of this year's March. Samsung Galaxy S8 will come with bigger displays than its current model; 5.8 inches and 6.2 inches.

Up to this date, the top selling Samsung Galaxy models don't have a curved display, curved edges give more display are without increasing the overall size of the phone; one example is the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge which measures 5.5 inches. And for the first time, Samsung Galaxy S8 will bring curved organic light-emitting diode also known as OLED, a dual-edge display.

For the record, Samsung Galaxy S8 was predicted to bring a covering front of the device with more display area by declining its bezels on the top and the bottom of the phone's screen. The device was also expected to adjust the screen display ratio in terms of its width and height which allows Samsung Galaxy S8 to minimize an increase in the overall size of the phone, as stated by the reports of Fox News.

Meanwhile, Samsung will be adding another familiar company that will provide their batteries for this year's flagship phone, the Japanese giant tech Sony, according to from the reports of CNET.  Sony will be the third company to provide the lithium-ion batteries that will use for Samsung Galaxy S8; along with Amperex and Samsung SDI co.

Last year, Samsung recently faced some issues regarding with their disastrous Galaxy Note 7 which was discontinued due to batteries that went overheat, explode and caught on fire. It was a big fall down to the Company's reputation that's why they are now adding rosters to their battery suppliers.

For the fact that Sony was their rival in terms of mobile market, the company still provides high-quality components including batteries to other companies that makes phones. One of Sony's famous customers was Apple for their camera technologies.
