There have been quite a few rumors and alleged leaks of Samsung‘s upcoming Galaxy S8 in the past week-ish, so we figured this could be your one-stop for everything surfaced, from sizes to renders to beloved and slowly fading ports — so let’s break it down…

First, let’s talk about variants. Considering Samsung’s approach with the Galaxy S series in the past couple of years, it was no surprise to hear that the company was working on two differently-sized variants. However, rumor had it that the designers would go all in and ditch flat panels for good. That could not be the case anymore.

As per a SamMobile report, in fact, the SM-G950 model could still retain a more classic display, leaving the dual edge, tentatively-named “Galaxy S8 Plus” SM-G955 to show off the curves. And while they said that such rumor should be taken with the proverbial grain of salt, a couple of videos coming from Samsung Display’s official YouTube channel are fuelling speculation big time.

Of course it would be a little absurd to take the lid off the company’s biggest bet so blatantly, but the prototypical device used to demonstrate Samsung’s prowess in display technology has us wondering how close it resembles what the “slick” S8 will ultimately look like.

The “Vision Aid” technology shown in the video obviously doesn’t mention any real device, but the large screen (which could easily reach the rumored six inches) and the absence of physical buttons tick a lot of boxes in regards to everything we’ve heard about the design of Samsung’s forthcoming flagship.

What’s more, accessory reseller Mobile Fun recently put up a listing on its website for a few Olixar cases that claim to be made for the S8, and picture a phone that is more or less identical to the one seen in Samsung Display’s videos, save for the curved screen and the company’s branding on the ridiculously small bottom chin.

Not randomly, Mobile Fun lists the device as the Galaxy S8 edge, which would indeed pair well with the presence of a regular, flat sibling. Last but not least is Android Police’s latest report, which is independently sharing information circa the headphone jack’s presence. This is another thing we had heard would be gone, but Samsung may have fortunately backtracked.

All in all, the device is shaping up to be one little monster, and we will certainly hear about it for the whole of 2017 — and, perhaps, beyond. If no Note 7-like safety issues emerge (and we sure hope not), the firm may even reach its ambitious shipping goal.

Enjoy the image renders and Samsung Display’s videos, and drop us a comment down below.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Challenges AMD Vega 10; Moved Release Date On PAX East 2017 After RRA Certification Loss

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 is no show at the CES 2017. Due to this absence, the clamor for the powerful GPU increased since then. Reports say that NVIDIA pushes its launch date in a much later date, specifically this March.

Meanwhile, May release date is the expected arrival of AMD Vega 10, WCCF Tech wrote. The tension is getting real as speculations point out a possible matchup between NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti and AMD Vega 10. Remember when AMD Vega 10 squashed NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti's core at the RRA Certification.

Amid the lack of confirmation, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti is reportedly improving the specs that pulled the graphic card in getting a high score in RRA Certification. Months after the score was released, NVIDIA had enough time to address the issues in GeForce GTX 1080 Ti. According to Hot Hardware, a trusted person from tipped that it will be launched at the PAX East 2017.

Meanwhile, AMD is expected to start its Vega 10 production to meet its May deadline just time for its massive launch. The upcoming AMD Vega 10 has similarities to Fury but the prototype is just an engineering sample and still under improvement for its final look. This graphic GPU still has some hitches that need to be addressed. For one, its PCI e-connector is covered blocking it in reducing the power requirement and watt ratio, The Country Caller added.

AMD Vega 10 architectural design took the center stage during CES 2017 but AMD has not given away bits of details about its powerful GPU. It spans for about 500m² based on prior calculations and will sport two HBM2 stacks incorporating about 16 GB of HBM2

Bot to school: Injured Commodore Perry teen uses technology to go to classes

A student seriously hurt in a Jan. 7 traffic crash went back to class last Monday without stepping inside Commodore Perry High School. He won't be able to do that until his broken leg heals.

Cole Fritz was at home operating a robot that was standing in for him — rolling, actually — and enabling the 16-year-old to interact with his teachers and classmates. They could hear and see each other, thanks to robotic and computer technology and cameras linked wirelessly over the Internet.

"I never thought I'd say this," the 16-year-old said Thursday to his first-period classmates who saw his face on the screen of an iPad mounted to a robot. "I miss school."

"Yeah, right," a couple of them replied.

From his Sandy Creek Township home about a mile away, Cole was using four keys of his computer keyboard to direct the robot around the classroom. Math teacher Marianne Sherwood and her students, including Cole, worked on a trigonometry lesson involving right triangles.
