A few months ago, several reports about Samsung Galaxy S8 possible features were released. As its release date approaches, Samsung confirmed that they are working with Qualcomm, a telecommunications equipment company, on a super-fast chip that might be a core feature of the Galaxy S8.

Express UK reported that this next flagship phone by Samsung will have a bigger and brighter screen, improved camera, and an all-mighty hardware. A powerful hardware would mean tech fans' curiosity leveling up on what could be the power of this processor. A lot of the top android phones are powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon chips, and with Qualcomm announcing its next chip, Samsung is geared up for another battle.

The Snapdragon 835 is said to be the most powerful chip to date, having considerable improvements in computing power and battery life. Smartphones to be released next year are expected to carry this powerful chip. Saying that this is all-powerful are just mere words yet to be proven in next year's Consumer Electronics Show. What is sure for now is Qualcomm will produce the chip with Samsung as its manufacturer. Snapdragon 835 is a 10-nanometer chip, making it one of the thinnest mobile processors today and probably even thinner than a strand of hair.

The chip's slim build is significantly useful for the future design of next-generation phones. This will allow companies to plan out a design for thinner devices with more space for bigger batteries and other hardware features.

Reports say that the first device to have the Snapdragon 835 should be released sometime early 2017. To date, there is still a lot speculation around the next flagship smartphone from Samsung. It might even have an entirely new design, while others say there might be two devices to be revealed.

The wait might be a little longer as Samsung usually make the big announcement at the Mobile Congress Event in Barcelona, which happened this year in March. Expect something powerful coming from the Korean electronics company.
