The alleged Samsung Galaxy S8 release date has surfaced followed by a photo of what is said to be a real image of the flagship.
The Galaxy S8 has been in the rumors since the time Galaxy Note 7 had released in August. However, it is only now that an alleged of a real Galaxy S8 smartphone has surfaced.
The image shows that the Galaxy S8 sports a premium appeal with super-slim bezels on its dual-edge curved display. As early rumors have suggested, the smartphone does not feature a physical Home button, Slash Leaks reported.
Interestingly, there is hardly any space available on the bottom bezel of the smartphone for capacitive buttons. However, a large-sized Samsung logo can be seen on it.
It may so happen that the Grace UX of Galaxy S8 may allow users to seamlessly use gestures for various functions like Home, Back and Apps. There is a possibility that the capacitive keys are present on the either sides of Samsung logo.
The authenticity of the photo has not been confirmed. Some speculate that it may a photoshopped version of Galaxy S7 Edge. Samsung is not rumored to bring overhaul changes in the design of Galaxy S8 and hence it is expected to appear similar to its predecessor.
Samsung Galaxy S8 was expected to get unveiled at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2017 event in February. However, recent rumors have suggested that the Galaxy S8 release date has been moved to April this year.
In 2016, the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge smartphones were released on March 11 after its announcement in February. However, the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus smartphones are now slated to release on April 18, Sam Mobile reported. So, instead of holding its Galaxy Unpacked event in February, the South Korean company may hold the unveil event in March and finally release it on April 18.
Samsung is also pegged to announce the real reason behind the Galaxy Note 7 debacle in this month. The Galaxy Note 7 exploding issue was previously said to have happened because faulty battery, but new information indicates that the real problem may be associated with the hardware design of the phablet.
