Samsung is expected to unveil its next flagship smartphones, the Galaxy S8 and the Galaxy S8 Plus, sometime in April. The press event for the unveiling of the devices was allegedly postponed from MWC 2017 at a later date on account of the Galaxy Note 7 fiasco. However, that hasn’t stopped the rumours, leaked images, and renders from surfacing on the internet. We’ve seen a lot of alleged leaked images as well as renders and case images of the upcoming smartphones. Today, we’re bringing you the clearest renders yet, along with a 360-degree render video of the Galaxy S8 and the Galaxy S8 Plus, thanks to our collaboration with noted leaker @OnLeaks.

Samsung will continue its glass-and-metal sandwich design with the Galaxy S8 and the Galaxy S8 Plus. The Galaxy S8 will have a screen size of 5.7 inches (or 5.8 inches), while the Galaxy S8 Plus will have a screen size of 6.1 inches (or 6.2 inches). Both devices will feature dual-edge curved Super AMOLED displays. This will be the first time Samsung will use a curved display on the smaller variant of its flagship smartphone. Furthermore, the Galaxy S8 will have dimensions of 148.90 x 68 x 8 mm, while the Galaxy S8 Plus will have dimensions of 159 x 74 x 8 mm.



Both smartphones will feature an iris scanner, USB Type-C port, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner (placed beside the rear-facing camera). Unlike what some rumours suggested, neither of these devices would feature dual-camera setups. The power and volume buttons are located on the left side of the devices, while an additional physical button (believed to be dedicated for Samsung’s voice assistant, Bixby) is placed on the right side.
