Discussions are going on about the specifications and features of upcoming Samsung Galaxy S8 for some time. Now, the possible leaked images of the device in social media are showcasing some important aspects of the phone. It shows that the phone is coming with a curved, bezel-less screen without a home button.

The full-body image of the phone was tweeted by Evan Blass, a tech "leaker" that shows that it has a long and narrow body. The other things that can be noted include a change in the location of the volume and possibly power button. It looks like these buttons have been moved to the left side than the usual right side. Interestingly, the right side has another button, and it could be the Samsung AI assistant called "Bixby." In total, the phone looks stylish, solid, and large to attract the fans of Samsung devices.

Though many of the changes are expected, changes of volume button and power are a surprise. Also, the home button removal from the phone is totally changing the design of the phone that followed from Galaxy S1. The physical keys are removed to replace it with on-screen keys, and this has made the screen larger. This is not something new considering the latest trends in the smartphone industry. Bezel-less screen, larger screen ratio, and on-screen buttons are part of many new smartphones, and the trend is expected to continue.

The phone was supposed to launch at the Mobile World Congress, but the blasts of Samsung Note 7 forced the firm to postpone the launch event. Samsung has confirmed that the phone will be introduced on March 29 in an individual event. The phone would compete with premium flagship phones of the other manufacturer including LG G6, BlackBerry KeyOne, and upcoming phones like iPhone 8. As there is just a month for the launch, more information regarding the phone is expected to be revealed in the coming days.
