Samsung Galaxy S8 leaks in all its glory
After a press image of Samsung’s upcoming flagship smartphone was leaked earlier today by @evleaks, the Galaxy S8 has been leaked once again, and this time it appears to be the AT&T variant of the smartphone. The black variant of the device appeared on BGR, and its similar to most other leaks and renders that we’ve seen in the past.
The phone appears to have a top bezel that’s larger than the bottom bezel, unlike what we’ve been watching in Samsung’s official teaser. The Galaxy S8 has a curved display, complete with curved corners. We can also see those new on-screen buttons at top lower part of the screen. The power/lock button is on the right side, while the volume and Bixby buttons are on the left side of the device.
There’s an earpiece, front-facing camera, and a bunch of sensors above the display. The SIM card slot is at the top of the device, while the 3.5mm headphone jack, USB Type-C port, microphone, and the loudspeaker is at the bottom. There doesn’t appear to be an image of the back of the device.

Not too chuffed with only 4GB- my Note 4 at 3GB is filling up too fast, what with updates every two seconds, or so it seems. Obviously will wait for the real thing to be announced, but will look at a ONEPlus 5 (no 4 cos the Chinese think the number 4 is unlucky ??) when that is released May/June. Will be able to keep some money in my pocket too, lol
I don’t see an IR blaster. Samsung let me down again.
Home button/soft keys i prefer them, but i could live without them…
But that disgusting rounded screen looks like a piece of sh!t… i never seen something so ugly honestly, hopefully they will just test the waters with s8 and come back to reality with the note 8 later this year.
For all those who are worried about the fingerprint scanner placement, Samsung is doing this to push the use of the iris scanner. Eventually, they may even ditch the scanner totally.
samsung should make one of these phones a S8 note with s-pen instead of S8+ only . As both phones are the same except one of them comes in a little bigger screen than the other.
It would be amazing… We just pay more for the “+” Version just because of the display size. There should be at least a Stereo Speaker or a dual camera or an SPen on the bigger version. I’m disappointed, that they are not going to introduce Stereo Speakers, uhmm Samsung? It’s 2017… But anyway I will buy the S8+.
I don’t like how the top and bottom are NOT proportional. Why?
They are not?
did you read the article? Top bezel is larger than the bottom
Same bezel at top and bottom
Nope, the top one is a little bigger
The hype is real this time!
Stereo speaker’s must have at least 6gb ram 64gb ROM 4000mah battery.
new button (under the volume rocker) may be using for taking photo like old Nokia phone’s.
Dude, they already said that they will add a button for the new bixby function.
Dam.. was going to buy it..
Can’t stand the touch home button..
Agreed, nothing beats the physical home button. I guess they reached a point when manufacturing touch keys is cheaper than physical ones. That’s the only law that applies in business – the law of manufacturing for less so the profit increases. Goodbye physical homebuttons :). Though I will probably wait for what they come up with about the Note series.
would like to know the dimensions of 8 and 8+
For people asking why the corners are rounded: (Based on LG’s answer to G6’s rounded corners): They tested the phone by dropping it, they found that most scratches and cracks happen because of the corners, so they rounded them as it significantly reduce scratches / cracks, especially on corners
Where’s the app drawer icon?
Not needed. Swipe up lower dock like on Pixel phones & Nova Launcher
Ah, of course. Still I really like the app drawer icon. Lol.
You can add it in settings if you really want it back.
those nails…
Buddy it’s Asia, you have to have one nail extremely long 😀
Yeah, it’s very true. Especially Vietnam.
But why?
I could of understood in the 80’s.
Ya know….Scarface 😉
While I’m waiting for the pholdable phablet this would be impressive if the curved screen stretched into the top and bottom as well. That would look really cool. What would look even better would be for the person holding it to trim their finger nails.
Looks very big and long… Not sure it will be one hand friendly
Seem like no stereo speakers like the iphone 7 using the front earpiece as another speaker together with the down firing speaker at the bottom. Tested the iphone and it sound more immersive in terms of audio when watching video or listen to song via speaker!
Lil know facts those are not stereo speakers in the iPhone one of them is a dummy speaker
Why the screen is rounded in the corners? That looks s…t with rounded corners of the device itself.
I still dont get why the need for the search button under the volume rocker
S8 will tie the home button(software) for camera launch.
Hence an additional button would suffice for launching virtual assistant.
May be user can choose between bixby virtual assistant or google assistant.
Or attach a different function.
Battery?
S8/S8+ =
3000/3500 mAh
Or
3250/3750 mAh
The latter would be better.
