An artistic representation or the real phone?

Now that Samsung has confirmed the Galaxy S8 won't be officially unveiled at Mobile World Congress (MWC) in late February, we're probably drowned in a bucketload of leaked specs and pictures of the phone.

If you've already got your fair share of renders, as in artistic representations, showing the alleged Samsung Galaxy S8, here is a picture that might be the real deal. Unfortunately, we can't confirm the legitimacy of the photo since it doesn't come from a reliable source.

Unlike some of the renders posted online in the last couple of weeks, the device shown in the picture leaked by Priceraja has a LED flash in the front, along with a couple of additional sensors, including an iris scanner.

The phone looks slightly different from what we've seen in the pictures of the photoshopped Galaxy S7 edge that have been making the rounds on the Internet lately. Obviously, this doesn't mean it can't be a fake photo, but its accuracy might be higher.

It's all there: bezel-less design, no Home button, iris scanner

Another aspect that makes the alleged Galaxy S8 shown in this picture slightly different from what we've seen until now is the size of the bezels.

While the left and right sides of the phone are almost bezel-less, the upper and bottom parts feature slightly larger bezels than the ones shown in previous renders.

Since there's one picture of the phone, which shows the front side, it remains to determine whether or not the Galaxy S8 will have dual-lens camera and a fingerprint sensor on the back side.

Previous reports have suggested Samsung has decided to drop the physical Home button and implement the fingerprint sensor under the display.

The phone shown in the image doesn't have any physical buttons on the front side, but it does feature dual volume keys on the left and the power on/off button on the right.

We'll most likely be flooded with more pictures allegedly showing the upcoming Galaxy S8, but unless they're coming from reliable sources, they must be treated with caution.
