There have been a lot of talks with regard to the development of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S8 and the Galaxy S8 Edge. According to the latest reports, the handset could come out next year with full 4K support. The alleged new leaked images show the smartphone with Bio Blue screen tech, which is said to be used for the next iteration.

Previous reports suggest that the rumored smartphone phone will only come with 2K display, while the 4K technology will be featured on the other device called Galaxy Note 6. If rumors prove to be true, the Samsung Galaxy S8 and the Galaxy S8 Edge will be one of the few handsets to feature such superior display in 2017.

There have been reports saying that the Korean tech giant will apply some of the display technology they use on their OLED smart TVs on the company's upcoming smartphone releases.

According to Mobipicker, the company will feature the Bio Blue for a 4K screen on the Galaxy S8 with an amazing density of 806 ppi pixel. On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy S8 Edge will use the same Bio Blue technology but will have a small ppi pixel density. However, the device must have a display size larger than 5.5 inches to achieve this.

There are reports suggesting that Samsung's goal is to create a new flagship smartphone that can support high-resolution VR.

Meanwhile, Digital Spy reported that Samsung's Bio Blue display technology could allow users to use the VR for longer periods of time without straining their eyes. The publication said that the new technology has the capability to lower the blue light levels of the display to just six percent.

Samsung is expected to announce the upcoming Galaxy S8 and the Galaxy S8 Edge before 2016 ends. Fans and critics alike are excited to finally experience the 4K technology on smartphones.
