According to IBTimes, Samsung will be offering the S-Pen as an added accessory, which means that it will not come with every purchase of the Galaxy S8.

And with the inclusion of such a huge change in the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S8, the device will surely differ from the older smartphones under the flagship.
After Apple introduced their wireless earphone, the AirPod, Samsung is now reportedly following the wireless trend as they launch their Samsung Wireless Earphone this January.
Galaxy A series from Samsung has attracted millions of users across the globe.
In a latest report, the rumor mill has leaked the pricing of the upcoming Galaxy A series smartphones, which are expected to launch in the coming weeks. I can only assume that the first to get it will be the users in the markets where it launched the Galaxy Beta Program: US, UK, South Korea and China.
The 2017 model for the Samsung Galaxy A5 also promises decent specs although they are lower than the ones found in the A7 model. The Galaxy A3 could retail for 379 Euro, while the A5 may sell for as much as 479 Euro.
Earlier leaks had suggested that the phone would sport a 6GB RAM and would have up to 256 GB of storage.
AT&T and Sprint users will receive the updates on January 5 but Verizon hasn’t agreed to the update. Internal storage will be 32GB and there will be a microSD card slot as well. It will be powered by an Exynos octa-core 7880 SoC processor.
Meanwhile, its larger sibling the Samsung Galaxy A7 is said to feature a slightly larger 5.7-inch Full HD Super AMOLED display. And same camera feature as of Galaxy A7 2017.

“The entire onus is now on S8 and it has to fill up the gap which Note 7 left”, Neil Shah, research director of devices and ecosystems at Counterpoint Research, told CNBC by phone. Let’s wait and see if these are just isolated incidents or if this will be another blow to Samsung’s reputation, which is already basically in shreds already.
