Samsung is speculated to launch two Galaxy S8 models: a 2K 5.8-inch Quad HD display and a phone with a 6.2-inch 4K screen called Galaxy S8 Plus. Both handsets are expected to feature curved Super AMOLED displays with its resolution speculated to be at 3,840 x 2,160 with a pixel density of 806 pixels per inch (ppi). Details about the flagship smartphones continue to leak and this recent render shows a detailed view of the Infinity display and additional hardware button on the side which is said to be the new AI virtual assistant, Bixby.
Samsung could also remove the headphone jack from the upcoming phones and the recent leak reveals a removed home button as replaced by an embedded fingerprint scanner as well. The render shows three buttons on the side for power/lock, volume and maybe Bixby, the new Samsung AI assistant. It shows a green colored call icon on the left and a camera icon on the right.
