Samsung Galaxy S8 panels

The Samsung Galaxy S8 is expected to arrive soon, and, as such, rumors should start picking up steam.

Android Police have surfaced a pair of photos that allegedly reveal what the front panel for the Galaxy S8, and its bigger variant, will look like, revealing some interesting aspects to the upcoming handset. As previously rumored, the Galaxy S8 is said to feature an “all-screen design,” which could be confirmed by these front panels, depending on their authenticity.

The images were originally published by the Twitter account @dfordesign, and show handsets that have remarkably slimmed down bezels. That includes both the top and bottom. Another thing to note is that both corners of the display window are rounded, suggesting the screen itself will be rounded. In the original report, a source speaking to the publication says this will indeed be the case.

There also appears to be a lack of a physical home button with this upcoming handset, further reinforcing those previous rumors.

Nothing is official just yet, but we probably don’t have long to wait before Samsung makes the Galaxy S8 official. What do you think of this new design?
