At this rate of information leakage, we're likely to know every single detail about Samsung's upcoming flagship phone well before it launches.。 Reliable leaks guy Evan Blass just posted a full set of specs for the larger version of the device, apparently named the Samsung Galaxy S8 . 。 SEE ALSO:Leaked photos show just how sexy Samsung's Galaxy S8 could look 。Most specs aren't out of the ordinary, and some, like the 12-megapixel dual rear camera and 4GB of RAM, are slightly underwhelming. But the spec sheet claims the device will have a huge, 6.2-inch screen (or, in reality, a 6.1-inch screen if you consider the rounded corners).。 This pretty much confirms a set of renders posted in January, which claimed the larger version of the device will have a 6.3-inch screen, in a body that's not significantly larger than that of the 5.5-inch Galaxy S7 Edge.
