Galaxy S8: borderless screen, virtual Home button

The Galaxy S8 will have a borderless screen and a virtual Home button integrated into it, but the dual camera is not in Samsung's plans for 2017.

Galaxy S8 it will have a borderless screen and a virtual Home button integrated into it, those from Samsung intending to offer in advance some functions that we should see in iPhone 8. Those from Samsung are trying to bring to the market a smartphone with these features before Apple could offer it, which could substantially increase its sales.

We told you yesterday that the Galaxy S8 will not have an integrated 3.5mm audio port, just like the iPhone 7, and now we also see that it will have a function that many hope to find in the iPhone 8. These changes were announced for many Samsung smartphones, but it looks like the Galaxy S8 will bring what many people have only seen in concepts.

This Galaxy S8 with radical changes should be launched on global markets in March, but the launch could be delayed by another month at worst. The delay is said to be based on the fact that Samsung has radically changed its smartphone testing procedures to ensure that they no longer explode after being sold to global customers.

Regarding the dimensions of the Galaxy S8, the Samsung company would like to offer something similar to the Galaxy S7 models that have 5.1-inch and 5.5-inch screens. Various rumors have told us that Samsung will launch terminals with a larger diagonal screen than the previous models, but the total dimensions of the terminals would be extremely close to the current ones.

"Since the phones have a record of burning up, it needs time for these phones to be verified as safe. How safe the phones turn out to be is more important than any hardware innovation. It will take about a month or two for people to actually start opening their pockets,"

Separately, Samsung has high hopes for a virtual assistant called Viv, which would eventually make the terminals competitive with those that have Siri or Google Assistant. Unfortunately, Samsung would have made the decision to abandon the dual camera in the Galaxy S8 due to the high manufacturing costs, so this feature of the iPhone 7 Plus will not be found in the Korean devices.

Having said that, we won't have much to wait until we find out all the secrets of the Galaxy S8.
