Samsung Galaxy S8 smartphone leaked yet again, this time a alleged press image of the handset surfaced. The leak comes from a reliable leakster Evan Blass (@evleaks on Twitter). The leaked press render shows the front of the device but it is not confirmed whether the device shown in the image is the standard Galaxy S8 or the Galaxy S8+. Samsung recently confirmed that the Galaxy S8 and S8+ are set to be made official later this month on March 29th in New York.
The press image above shows a dual-curved bezel-less screen and an iris scanner on the top, similar to the Galaxy Note7 that would let you unlock the phone using eye recognition. The narrow bezels around the display looks close to the screen-to-body ratio of about 78% on the LG G6. Adding to this, the press image also reveals the volume rocker and power button on the left and right, respectively. On the left side you will also find an extra button below the volume rocker which is said to be the dedicated Bixby AI button. There’s no physical button on the front.
