Following numerous Samsung Galaxy S8 leaks, it seems there are more details that haven't been revealed. A few more surprises are expected to be revealed on Thursday, March 29.
One of the features that is expected on the Galaxy S8 is a bezel-less 2960 x 1440 pixel display. Unlike other new smartphones, S8 is unlikely to ditch the headphone jack, and it features 64GB on-board storage, and a fully curved body similar to the Samsung Note 7.

Like Apple's Siri, Samsung Galaxy S8's has an assistant called Bixby. The company has confirmed this on its official website.
According to the company, the assistant will have a dedicated launch button. The Sydney Morning Herald reported that this feature could "deep dive into applications that are "Bixby-enabled" to launch a specific action within the app, all using natural language."
Due to these leaks, many tech insiders are predicting that the S8 will ditch a home button, but there will be space for a larger display screen button.
There have also been rumored that its fingerprint sensor was moved to the back of the phone.
Meanwhile, Samsung plans to sell refurbished versions of its Galaxy Note 7 phones
"Regarding the Galaxy Note 7 devices as refurbished phones or rental phones, applicability is dependent upon consultations with regulatory authorities and carriers as well as due consideration of local demand," Samsung said in a statement.
South Korean newspaper Electronic Times cited an unnamed source on Tuesday, March 28, that said the South Korean tech giant company would start selling refurbished Note 7S in July or August in its country.
The refurbished Note 7 will come with new batteries. Meanwhile, Apple is expected to launch a new smartphone in September, which will fall on its 10th anniversary.
