At this point, there’s really no point in Samsung waiting until March 27th to unveil the Samsung Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+. Last night Evan Blass, the king of smartphone leaks, released a press render of the upcoming flagship device and today BGR published some exclusive photos of the Galaxy S8.

The photos published by BGR show off the smaller 5.8-inch Galaxy S8, and a larger 6.2-inch Galaxy S8+ is expected as well with a larger Quad HD+ Super AMOLED display and larger battery. As you can see, the Galaxy S8 features a curved AMOLED display. Rumoured specs include the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 in the U.S. or equivalent Samsung Exynos chip overseas, 4GB of RAM, 64GB of storage, and microSDXC support.
The fingerprint scanner has also been moved to the back, and the Galaxy S8 and S8+ will use USB Type-C, but as the photos show still include a 3.5mm audio jack. Also rumoured is an iris scanner on the front 8-megapixel camera, the inclusion of a 12-megapixel Dual Pixel rear camera, and an IP68 water and dust resistance rating.
