Samsung has all set the launch date for the Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus on March 29, and it's just weeks away from all the official details. However, running up to it, leaks have started flowing at a rapid pace and the latest bout brings pricing information. If these leaks turn to be true, then the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus will be much more expensive than their predecessors, something that has been reported earlier as well.

According to Digit Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus are expected to come with 5.8-inches and 6.2-inches Super AMOLED displays variants.

As per Gadgets 360, the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge was priced much lower at EUR 639 on launch. However, MobileFun's pre-order price may just be a placeholder and will not indicative of the original price of the device. Presumably, the Galaxy S8+ will be even more expensive than the Galaxy S8 given that it offers more display real estate and a bigger battery.

The listed specifications of the Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus are similar to previous leaks about the phone.
