Samsung is ramping up for the release of its new flagship smartphone, with a new rumor that the company will unleash the Galaxy S8 on March 29.

Not only that, but Samsung will kick off the pricing on the Galaxy S8 at $849 - not bad considering it should have some nice new features up its sleeve, like a fingerprint sensor built into the display - and what's sure to be the best display on a smartphone on the market.

The source of the rumor if WCCFTech adds that the $849 price will push the Galaxy S8 "out of the normal consumer's reach", yet that's the current rate - and sometimes considerably more for the highest storage on previous Galaxy/Note smartphones, and the iPhone.

Inside, Samsung should power the Galaxy S8 with Qualcomm's new Snapdragon 835 processor, desktop worthy 6GB of RAM, a virtual assistant, and more.
