Samsung Galaxy S8, S8 Plus: Home Button Out, Dual Camera In; Release Pegged In Mid-April
Pia MerciThere have been a slew of alleged features and design of Samsung Galaxy S8 that are making rounds from various reported leaks. Apparently, it has noticeable similarities with some of Apple's latest offerings. Recently, Galaxy S8 will possibly come with a pressure sensitive display which is also present with Apple's 3D Touch. Now, according to reports, Galaxy S8 will have two variants.
The new Samsung Galaxy S8 series handsets will allegedly come in two display sizes, 5.7-inch and 6.2-inch, the latter will be called the Galaxy S8 Plus, rather than their usual "Edge" name for the plus size. Moreover, another feature that is highly expected for the iPhone 8 will be allegedly integrated with Samsung's flagship which is the absence of the home button.
