14 DAY TRIAL // Samsung is definitely busy with the Galaxy Note 7 discontinuation and the investigation on the flaw that caused the demise of one of the best smartphones in the company portfolio. The South Korean smartphone maker is also working on the upcoming Galaxy S8, set to arrive in the first quarter of next year.
Some specs of the upcoming smartphone have leaked these past few weeks and it seems that folks from TechDroider have taken the information and created a render of the phone’s design. Samsung is said to make major design changes to the upcoming Galaxy S8, which will apparently be made available in two variants.
The smartphone might come with a bezel-less display, with the top and bottom edges curved as well. This would surely make an interesting design choice and the video provided by TechDroider gives us an idea of how the phone could actually look.
The render shows the Galaxy S8 in four appealing colors
The video clearly shows that the smartphone doesn’t come with a home button. Apparently, Samsung made the decision to exclude the button from the upcoming flagship. The fingerprint sensor will reportedly be located inside the display and there’s a high chance that users would be able to unlock their phones by touching any area on the screen.
The Galaxy S8 might come with a 5.5-inch QHD bezel-free display and a dual-camera setup on the back. Previous rumors have stated that it could run the Exynos 8895 chipset or Qualcomm's Snapdragon 830 SoC in certain regions.
The video shows what the smartphone would look like in multiple unusual color variants, like blue, purple, a shade of brown, and yellow. In addition, the smartphone is expected to come with Viv AI assistant and 6GB of RAM with 64GB or 128GB of internal memory.
The device maker could also equip the Galaxy S8 with an iris scanner. It remains to be seen when Samsung will release the Galaxy S8, but the company is certainly relying on the Galaxy S series to make up for some of its lost profits with the Note 7.
