Samsung's Galaxy S8 rumored to sport bezel-free design and virtual home button

After the battery fiasco of the Galaxy Note7, Samsung knows that its next smartphone must special if it is to win back customers.

To this end, the company is pulling out all the stops to ensure that its next flagship smartphone will be a success. 

According to the latest rumors, the upcoming Galaxy S8 will sport an all-screen, bezel-free design that's even more extreme than the Xiaomi Mi MIX. To achieve this all-screen design, the Galaxy S8 will supposedly have wraparound displays all over.

In addition, reports also say that Samsung will implement a virtual home button to allow for the all-screen design.

These are features that are widely expected to debut on this year's iPhones.

Reports also say that while Samsung is targeting a March release for its new Galaxy S8, the need to undergo rigorous testing to ensure that the phone runs properly would mean that an April launch is more likely.
