Samsung might not be unveiling the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ at MWC this year, but leaks have already revealed almost everything about the two handsets. And today, courtesy of @evleaks, we get to look at the final spec sheet of the Galaxy S8+ as well.

The spec sheet confirms that the Galaxy S8+ will come with a 6.2-inch Quad HD+ Super AMOLED display which actually measures up to be around 6.1-inches due to its rounded corners. Other specs confirmed by today’s leak that we had heard previously include IP68 dust and water-resistance, iris scanner, 64GB internal storage, microSD card slot, wireless charging, Samsung Pay, and 4GB RAM.

The spec sheet also confirms that the Galaxy S8+ will continue to feature a 12MP Dual Pixel shooter at the rear which will likely be similar to the camera found on the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge. Samsung should have made some improvements to the camera by improving its processing, but we should not be looking at a huge jump in camera performance here. The front camera’s resolution has been bumped to 8MP.

The spec sheet does reveal that Samsung will be bundling premium earphones with the Galaxy S8+ that will be tuned by AKG. Considering how many Android OEMs are now focusing more on delivering quality audio output from their devices and bundle premium earphones to go along with it, this is a welcome move from Samsung.

The spec sheet does not confirm final battery capacity of the Galaxy S8+, but rumors point to Samsung using a 3500mAh battery inside the handset.

What do you think about the Galaxy S8+? While the specs of the handset are impressive, the 6.2-inch display makes the handset too large for me. The lack of bezels should make the S8+ more compact than other phones with a similarly sized display, but that does little to improve one-hand use.
