Samsung Galaxy S8 flagship, which is rumoured to launch next month, has been part of several leaks so far. Based on the leaks, it is believed that the Samsung Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ will sport a refreshed design, with no home button at the front one of the highlights. Now, freshly leaked live images claim to show the yet-to-be-announced Galaxy S8 in all its glory. The Galaxy S8 leaked images show the new front panel design with no physical home button below the display. The live images also purportedly show near bezel-less design on the smartphone.

Looking at the leaked images, the Samsung Galaxy S8 can be seen featuring a dual-curved display upfront alongside a host of sensors and the front-facing camera, just above the display. The new leaked images may have also given the first glimpse of iris scanner present on the Galaxy S8 (as well as Galaxy S8+), which has been rumoured for quite some time now. The 3.5mm audio jack is likely to be present on Galaxy S8, while Samsung seems to have opted for USB Type-C port. The speakers can be seen at the bottom panel. The new leaked images are also offering first glimpse of the company's new Grace UX as well as the always-on display.
