Samsung Galaxy S8 Design Leaks on Twitter

Tech journalist and serial tipster Evan Blass shared a photo of the press render of the Samsung Galaxy S8 on his Twitter account and you’ve got to admit, it does look pretty awesome.

Images of the device, first spotted here, appear to show the on-screen buttons in distinctly different positions in the separate images, suggesting that they can in fact be customised. The news bodes well for the upcoming Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus. The oblong home button on the front of the phone that used to house the fingerprint reader has been removed, allowing Samsung to substantially shrink the bezels above and below the screen. That being said, according to CNET, there’s still a button on the right side, which could be dedicated to the long rumored Samsung AI assistant, said to be called Bixby, which Samsung hopes will rival Apple’s Siri.

March 29, the phone’s official launch date, is shown as the phone’s date as well. On the display, the battery indicator can be seen along with the time and date mentioned, which interestingly is March 29. The best thing about this move is that when Galaxy S8 is launched, they will be able to exchange the replacement phones with a Galaxy S8 “without paying much”. The larger model offers advanced features, deploying a Super AMOLED display and powered by the Intel Kaby Lake Core i5 processor, clocked at 3.1 GHz.

The picture that Blass unveiled shows off the highly anticipated smartphone’s handsome display along with minimal bezels, which happens to be the latest trend in mobile designs right now. There will be tons of surprises and announcement to be expected on this event, which may also introduce other Samsung devices. When the phone does launch, it will compete with handsets unveiled at the conference, like the slim, narrow-bezeled LG G6 and the BlackBerry KeyOne, which has a physical keyboard.

A very recent leaked video allegedly showing Samsung Galaxy S8 is making rounds in the Internet today revealing most of the previously speculated features to be consistent.

The Samsung Galaxy Book tablets, which reportedly promise a “PC-like performance”, have 10.6-inch and 12-inch screen options.
