Samsung could introduce its upcoming Galaxy S8 and S8 Edge phones to the world as soon as March 29, according to Evan Blass , a tech writer also known for reliably leaking upcoming products under his Twitter handle @evleaks.
The two new flagship phones could feature larger screen sizes than even the supersize 5.7-inch Galaxy Note 7 did (before Samsung recalled it for catching fire ). The S8 could come with a 5.8-inch display and the Edge a 6.2-inch whopper — screens that could cover nearly 85 percent of their bodies and leave the phones with very little bezel to take up space, Blass wrote Thursday in Venture Beat .
The two S8 phones could also do away with the capacitive buttons usually found below the screen, which would leave more room for the display size to expand, a phone trend likely to take off in 2017. Xiaomi’s Mi Mix is a recent example.
Samsung’s latest flagship phones have been a hot topic for months as the South Korean company gets a new chance to show off hardware designs that, you know, don’t explode or catch fire, as the Galaxy Note 7 did on two separate occasions last year.
