Samsung Galaxy S8 News And Updates: Phone Will Lose Home Button & Headphone Jack?

Samsung has been through a lot, with its Galaxy Note 7 issue this year. This is the reason why the giant company is expected to have a huge comeback on 2017 with its Galaxy S8 which, according to rumors, will have an all-screen design.

Smartphones started with keypads until innovations removed these buttons one by one. In Samsung's case, the home button is the only button left on the phone screen and according to The Verge, the giant company is said to be removing this remaining button from the Galaxy S8.

The report states that the Galaxy S8's home button will be replaced by a virtual home button which is said to be buried in the glass, still at the lower part of the screen. The news site also reported that Samsung is planning to release more than one version of the Galaxy S8, which should differ in size.

Meanwhile, CNET reported that a spokesperson for Samsung has said that the company still has not released a statement that should deny or confirm the rumors spreading through the internet about how the Galaxy S8 will look like.

On the other hand, other rumors have surfaced recently that the Samsung Galaxy S8 will also more likely to lose its headphone jack, just like the Apple iPhone 7 which was released this year, according to Forbes.

With a lot of rumors spreading online, this just proves how excited smartphone users are for the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S8 which is set to be released by March next year. The upcoming smartphone release is expected to determine whether the giant company will be able to make it up to their consumers after the Galaxy Note 7 battery exploding issue.

Recent reports have already surfaced that Samsung has already reached the end of its investigation on the factors that have caused Galaxy Note 7 explosions which resulted to a series of unit recalls by the company. The company will soon release its findings before the year ends, based on our previous report.
