Samsung’s next release, the Galaxy S8 is slated to release in mid 2017, most likely in April. Insider sources are claiming that the S8 will stray from its physical home button option to an all front screen option, much like the rumoured iPhone 8. After the Note 7 fiasco, Samsung must go all in with the S8 to win back the customer confidence. If the rumours are true, the S8 will most likely sport Harmon dual speakers.
