A new wave of rumors about the Galaxy S8 has just made headlines, as Samsung now holds an internal meeting where it discusses its smartphone global strategy.
A new report by Reuters suggests that Samsung may land a deal with LG Chem to use the latter’s batteries for the former’s upcoming Galaxy S8 flagship.
The Galaxy S8 will likely bring back features that debuted in the Galaxy Note 7, like the iris scanner.
Samsung had launched their own investigation into the cause behind the exploding Galaxy Note 7. After the explosion incident with the Note 7 phablet, it is necessary that the company comes up with some plans in order to recover the confidence from consumers before releasing a new product on the market.
The Galaxy S8 Edge and S8 Plus will reportedly have 5.7 abd 6.2 inches displays respectively. However, a new report claims the launch has been pushed back to April with a New York-based event. Although there have been many rumors about these smartphones, one of the most important details is how much will they cost, so here´s a little comparison between the possible prices that these flagships will have.
Samsung last week announced plans for software updates created to prevent Note 7 devices from charging and eliminate their ability to work as mobile phones to ensure that Note 7 owners turn in their phones.

It’s odd to see Samsung outsource major smartphone components from other companies, or cross-rivals for that matter like LG. The company is looking to minimize leaks and maintain control of the spin once the device is officially announced.
