Physical Home Buttons Gone
Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus are switching to on-screen navigation buttons and ditching the physical navigation buttons. The image shows off a bottom bar that features the "arrow" back button on the right, as per Sam Mobile.
The leaked image also shows a different design, which gives an idea that Samsung might be using a fingerprint sensor for security features on its apps and contacts, as noted by The Verge. The upcoming handset might reduce bezels.
