Both the smartphones shown in the pictures look familiar to the existing leaked press renders. The phones in the photos have small bezels above and below the screen. The leaked images also suggest that the handsets have a physical button on the right side, which will be used to active the Galaxy S8’s virtual assistant Bixby. One again, it’s evident that Samsung has ditched the physical home button in favor of virtual navigation buttons; and place the fingerprint scanner on the back panel, to accommodate the taller screen.
One of the images show both Galaxy S8 models have curved displays, and noticeably the Galaxy S8 Plus has an always-on lock screen. Above the screen you can see a small earpiece and a front-facing camera. The images also confirm the presence of a USB Type-C port, the SIM card tray, and the standard headphone jack. There’s a small sensor above the display, which could be an iris scanner. The larger Galaxy S8+ version features a 6.2-inch QHD Super AMOLED display compared to the 5.5-inch on the Galaxy S8. Both smartphones will use Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 SoC, paired with 4GB RAM, 64GB of onboard memory and microSD card support.
Now according to a VentureBeat report, the scheduled release date for the Galaxy S8 and S8+ has been pushed from April 21 to April 28.
