Despite the fact there’s still plenty of time until we hear something official out of Samsung, it doesn’t stop the numerous rumor surrounding the 2017 launch of the Galaxy S8. We’re already hearing rumors on multiple variants that will all be released worldwide including the standard S8, S8 Edge, S8 Active, and new Samsung Galaxy S8 Edge Plus release date rumors.
The latest are quite intriguing, but they make sense considering the popularity of the S Edge model, and huge consumer interest is only expected to increase with upcoming launches. The worldwide phenomenon on the Galaxy S Edge series looks to be spinning off a brand new variant that will have many similarities to its little brother.
The Samsung Galaxy S8 Edge Plus will share similar specs and features as the S8 Edge, but will be slightly bigger. It’s believed to be launched around the same time as the Galaxy Note 7 in September of 2017, and just before the iPhone 7s and 7s Plus.
The Galaxy S8 Edge Plus specs are rumored to feature a Qualcomm octa-core processor clocked at 3.2GHz, dual mico SD card slots, 28 MP rear camera, 8.1 MP front camera 4000 mAh battery, and a new form of Gorilla Glass screen protection. Also rumored is a retina eye sensor for added security and complete integration with many peripherals such as Samsung’s virtual reality headset and many apps including Android Auto and mobile payment Android Apps.
The biggest defining factor that will differentiate the S8 Edge Plus from the S8 Edge will be the larger screen which is expected to be a 5.6” display. It’ll be interesting to see how amazing the visuals will be on the larger 4K display if the resolution is truly 4096 x 2160.

Looking forward to getting the best, the s8 as soon as it comes out
This is good news, let us hope it is fact, personally I look for 256 internal memory, with 512 extsd card or two 256 chips extsd memory.
Very excited about the S8 Edge Plus. Have only had the notes, and since note 7 failed, I’m also considering LG V20. It seems to have a lot to offer. Will wait on the official specs from Samsung.
can’t wait to get my hands on one. very kool. 🙂
Can’t wait for the galaxy s8 edge! I just wish the plus would come our at the same time as the others.?
Well I am so excited about the S8 edge but since finding out that there will be a S8 edge plus that means I will have to wait alot longer. I really was looking forward to getting my new S8 edge but I currently have the S6 edge plus and really like the bigger screen. So it’s a downer that I have to wait till September. I so hope that Samsung and Sprint will release the S8 edge plus maybe in May???? I wish they’d just go ahead and release at the same time as the regular S8 edge. I mean why do you have to wait all the way to September?? Oh well guess if I have to wait I’ll wait but it saddens me?
