Just a few hours after detailed 3D renders of the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus leaked, a live photo of the Galaxy S8 has leaked online. The leaked photo shows the bottom half of the phone including the impressively thin bottom bezel.

The photo confirms that the 3.5mm jack, USB-C port, and the mono speaker reside at the bottom of the Galaxy S8 between the two antenna lines. Interestingly, while the display on the handset is on with some Chinese content being displayed, the on-screen navigation keys are nowhere to be seen.

This is the second such Galaxy S8 leak where the on-screen navigation bar has been missing from the screen. Samsung has presumably ditched the capacitive navigation keys on the Galaxy S8, and it looks like the company has implemented on-screen navigation keys on the handset in a unique manner.

Samsung is expected to unveil the Galaxy S8 on March 29 at an even in New York. The handset will go on sale soon after in most markets of the world.

What do you think about the Galaxy S8 based on the leaked photo? Do you think the thin bezels will not pose any ergonomic issue while trying to reach the extreme corners of the display?
