Samsung Galaxy S8 surfaces in live image, launch expected on March 29
Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S8
smartphone thanks to the popular
tipster Evan Blass aka evleaks. Blass
has tweeted a live image of the next
flagship from Samsung that offers a
clear look at the phone from front
and black.
Along with the photos, Blass (via
Venturebeat ) has also shared
detailed specification of the Galaxy
S8. First up, the phone will come in
a 5.8-inch version and a larger 6.2-
inch model and both the devices will
sport a curved display with an
aspect ratio of 18.5:9. Blass added
that Galaxy S8 will come with
pressure sensitive display similar to
Apple’s 3D Touch. Previous reports
had mentioned that the Galaxy S8
will ditch the home button and we
can see in the image that the
trademark physical button has been
removed from the front instead, it
has been moved to the back next to
the rear camera. This button will
come equipped with a fingerprint
sensor.
The S8 will feature a 12MP rear
facing camera and an 8MP front
facing camera with iris-scanning
abilities. This feature first made its
debut on Samsung Galaxy Note7 last
year. The rear-facing camera will
have support for optical character
recognition (OCR). Samsung is
rumored to come with Bixby virtual
assistant that will use the camera for
visual search. Also visible in the
photo is the 3.5mm audio
headphone jack, primary
microphone, USB Type C,
loudspeaker grills and antenna
bands.
