You're welcome GSMArena :)
Anyway, I'm suprised people doesn't get hype by this. It will have an actual full screen display. No right-left-up-down bezels. Which means that a 5.5 inch Galaxy S8 will be about the same size as a 5 inch smartphone. It will also have dual cameras, which we already know Samsung as the pioneer in smartphone camera technology, they will make dual cameras right. And of course when you have a full screen display, the home button will be gone.
I was very suprise that the commenters said that Samsung is copying Apple. The only thing that I saw they "copy" is the lack of the home button. The dual cameras had been around before the iPhone 7 Plus (LG G5, Huawei P9 plus), so I fail to see how they "copy" from just Apple.

And use tizen, or at least make tizen version.
Not hate android but more convenient using os that the company make their OS self.
If i want use android, i prefer pixel or android one.

I really wish they would go with on screen buttons but I think I'm almost alone there, so I doubt they will. My S5 is so painfully un-ergonomic to use one handed in part because of the button locations. Everyone loves screen space, but if you have to awkwardly hold your phone near the bottom to use it the trade off isn't worth it at all. Separate buttons worked when screens had an aspect ratio closer to square, 16:9 is pushing it already, putting something else to reach above or below the screen just makes it impossible to use the whole screen without changing where you are holding the phone.

AnonD-538833, 08 Oct 2016Samsung is again copying Apple. Samsung's whole Galaxy trul... moreJust like Apple will use OLED and go edge-to-edge for the iPhone 8 and use Samsung as a main supplier? That's copying? Samsung already OUTCLASSED Apple in photography with their ISOCELL technology and design department well before this Note7 fiasco. The iPhone 6 and 7 series are all ugly devices with ugly camera humps.
About time Apple let go of the physical home button after Android users have enjoyed capacitive home button for years. The thing I hate is Apple now also setting a trend by removing the 3.5mm headphone jack. The iPhone 7 series is also a waste of money. Might as well get the iPhone SE which is the last iPhone with headphone jack and no camera hump.
Apple copies Android features all the time. You won't bat an eye. When Samsung decides to remove the physical home button which other Android OEMS had removed years ago, that's Samsung copying Apple? Uh, okay.

AnonD-538833, 08 Oct 2016Samsung is again copying Apple. Samsung's whole Galaxy trul... moreYou call it copying but I call it 'improving'. Its about time to get rid of the clicky button which can become loose. Its an 'improvement', not an innovation. Media make techie-wannabe overusing the term 'innovation'. Non-clicky button is not kind of thing you can patent. Its like trying to patent how a door is being open. You either swing it in or out. Btw, I hope all android start using the non clicky button or even better, just capacitive button is enough. Apple lack of back and menu button is not my thing either. Dont ever copy that, to all android manufacturer out there.
