All you need to know about the leaked Samsung Galaxy S8

The leaked Samsung S8 will reportedly move its fingerprint panel up alongside the camera itself. Rather than sitting centrally on the phone's rear in a similar fashion to the LG G5, Honor 6X and pretty much every other phone with a back-based security sensor.

An insider claimed Samsung insider has been quoted as suggesting such a placement will actually make the phone easier to use. Although this might make things a little more awkward to reach.

The insider stated, “The leaked Samsung S8 home button and fingerprint sensor will be on the right side of the camera lens when viewed from the front.”

They added: “The reason why it is on the right rather than the rear centre is because most people hold their smartphone in their right hand and the right index finger touches this location.”

The Galaxy S8 will reportedly keep hold of its integrated headphone port. it was something the Apple ditched with the iPhone 7 last year despite adopting a sleek new design

Design refresh aside, the S8 is expected to play host to a mass of high-end components, with Qualcomm's top end Snapdragon 835 processor tipped to drop alongside a massive 6GB of RAM.

A new 8-megapixel selfie camera with accompanying flash will reportedly line up alongside Google's latest Android 7.0 Nougat OS.

Although the leaked Samsung S8 won't be formally unveiled at MWC, it's been suggested Samsung will release a one minute teaser video for the phone during its press conference this Sunday, February 26.
