Looks like the IR Blaster is coming back in the Galaxy S8.

Could be the type that sits in the front of the phone to aid with Iris Scanner.

The IR Transmitter could be at the front, on the face of the phone, it's probably there simply to aid the Iris Scanner,so it wouldn't be at the top of the phone.

so not then really "returning" if not for the same purpose

Who knows.
I know Sony used to put them in the front.
With this being Android someone will probably be able to repurpose it to also work as a Remote control.

The Exynos 8895 Galaxy S8+ was benchmarked and is looking to be quite the beast

Side note, interesting how the 8890 in the S7 Edge crushed the Snapdragon 821 devices, I had no idea it was THAT good.
That said we are not longer in the good ol' days where Exynos was head and shoulders above Snapdragon in the Galaxy S2 and S3 days.

With the state our exchange rate is in, very possible.

I'm sure between the Galaxy S8+ and iPhone 7S Plus/8 Plus this year we will see a phone break that R20K mark this year..... If this has not been done already.

Um, that had already been done? I'm sure I saw it with the more expensive iPhone models.

Already done.. the iphone 7's retailed at one point for about 26k for the 256GB model.

Good grief!
That is pure madness!
For a damn phone? It doesn't even give you access to it's file system and a Display that is average at best.
We will continue to be heavily dependent on carriers down here I guess.
