now I have learned the hard way that when you receive a leak of a device that is an almost bezel Estus play it is almost certainly false until the near future of course because it looks like the galaxy s 8 will undergo a pretty major transformation the respective ET news at publication with good connections in the Korean tech industry reports that Samsung plans to ditch the physical home button and opt for a full-screen display that would virtually eliminate the top and bottom bezels of the galaxy s 8 the phone will reportedly be equipped with dual cameras and be powered by both Qualcomm and Samsung chips but built with a new 10 nanometer process now when we start to talk about leaks and rumors this early before a major flagship launch I got to remind you guys that most of the time in the past two years leaks and rumors have been pretty accurate here at under authority we've been very careful about that the biggest blunder was the Galaxy s5 and it wasn't a blunder as it was a timing issue we had been building up for three or four months about all the leaks and rumors of the Galaxy s5 and when it came out it looked like a band-aid quite a bit different than the edged display that we were expecting of course later on we all learned that those leaks and rumors were actually accurate but there were more prototypes of the galaxy s6 not the s5 so we got to remember here that it's still pretty early and what we're seeing may be the s8 or maybe something they have planned later in the future keep that in mind sources told ichi news that samsung wants to ditch the iconic home button it's not clear what the alternative solution would be the home button incorporates the fingerprint sensor so samsung will need to come up with a new way to embed the sensor in or under the glass or on the back of the device perhaps there are tech solutions out there that allow phone makers to embed fingerprint sensors under the glass so it's not like the Galaxy s8 has to have a physical home button Xiaomi just recently unveiled the mi 5s which features Qualcomm's ultrasonic fingerprint reader fingerprint cards and other suppliers have launched their own under glass solutions now when it comes to the top and bottom bezels I think this is the next logical step now it may not be for the s8 but I think this is a clear indication that Samsung has in their sights a truely bezel list display that could be cool because it's very much more an immersive experience now let's talk about the dual camera rumor it said that Samsung has already made up its mind to use a dual camera on the back of the s8 the question is whether Samsung will use a 2 lens of one module design or a 2 lens 2 module arrangement according to the report Samsung could opt for a 16 megapixel and 8 megapixel setup now there should be no reason to doubt this Samsung's competitors have already started to do the same good on Samsung using two lenses allows for a few neat tricks like post shot refocusing but it also makes it possible to improve the overall quality of each shot Samsung simply has to get in on that action now let's talk about the rumored system-on-a-chip Samsung will reportedly use a mix of the snapdragon 830 from Qualcomm and an ex nose chip developed by its subsidiary Samsung SDI both chips will be built on the 10 nanometer process enabling higher performance and lower battery consumption now again no surprise here in recent history Samsung has always gone with a combination of its own Exynos chip and with Qualcomm now some of you may be thinking chase come on my Snapdragon 800 system on a chip is still doing really well on my phone for the past two or three years what do I care if I have the latest and greatest chip well you may care if you really get into augmented and virtual reality where I expect that's gonna play a bigger role so what are you hoping for in the Galaxy s8 let me know in the comments below what one feature would be the most important for you I'll be reading them you think it's safe to say that pretty much everyone hates day-to-day admin work that's why our beloved sponsor freshbooks has made it ridiculously easy to use their cloud accounting software whether you need easy invoicing online payments or time tracking fresh book has fantastic solutions for you you can even use your Android device to take us of you receipts and have fresh books manager expenses automatically for a 30-day unrestricted free trial with no credit card required just go to FreshBooks dot-com forward slash Android and enter android authority in the how did you hear about a section that's fresh books calm forward slash Android
