Samsung Galaxy S8 Update: New Images Show “Virtual” Home Button

Days ahead of its reported March 29 launch, a new set of photos regarding the highly-anticipated Samsung Galaxy S8 were reportedly leaked, and they have a lot to say about the mobile phone’s buttons, especially the flagship’s home button.

CNET sums up all the new changes introduced in the new Samsung Galaxy S8. The close-up images of the phone, which was first released on Slash Leaks, revealed:

“... All display, with minimal bezels on the top and bottom. In order to make the screen-to-body ratio bigger, the leaks suggest that Samsung has incorporated virtual navigation buttons and moved the fingerprint sensor to the back of the phone. These images give us a good look at what could be a home button on the bottom of the display. Looking at the leaks from all angles show you the following: Inclusion of a headphone jack (sigh of relief), possible USB-C port at the bottom, possible SIM card or microSD slot at the top, [and] front and rear cameras.”

Fortune said that unlike some of the leaks, the latest one holds water, if we based it on the white graphics shown in the phone with the one as well on the Samsung media invite.

Samsung remains mum of the latest leak. Although the company has been keeping its design under wraps, it has not prevented a lot of outfits publishing photos and details that are reportedly the final design for Galaxy S8. However, most of them have lined up so far.
