        ... speculations, speculations... nobody knows for sure until this super device will be officially shown to the world.
        I wait till the phone actually will be available. Although some speculations are very interesting, like the S-pen.

          After using a on-screen navigation bar phone, when I tried using a Samsung, the buttons seemed like I'm using ancient technology lol
          The major thing that bugged me was the middle button that actually needed to be pressed. You forget pressing it and you just touch it cos that's how you got used. Another thing that annoyed me was that the buttons are backwards than the other android phones out there and you always press back instead of recents and vice-versa.
          The onscreen nav bar can be resized by changing the DPI from 480(defaul value in FHD phones) to 300(my case). This will change everything, not only the navbar but you will absolutely love it.

            I know i'm only 1 customer and mean nothing to Samsung but if they do get rid and move to soft keys I'll be moving to another supplier.

                  Someone I know who works at Samsung said they are coming out with something really special where the S8 is concerned. The S8 will be really nice.

                          I believe Home key is the only difference they have with other top 5 Android mobile handset companies, So Stay Unique.
                          Remember, Curved Screen has more chances of getting damaged than normal screen, so if you remove home key option, Hallelujah...

Even in Apple watch it was FORCE touch. Then suddenly in new iPhones it's 3D touch. Apple has done the same cra* for years. Videocall = face time. Come on Apple at least give credit to the ones who actully made the technology. Rename it and make it sound like they invented an idea is an a hole move. Taking credit from the work of others. Even if they made it better, they should have enough balls to admit they didn't invent it and USE the ORIGINAL TERMS.

                                    I hate software keys because they occupy screen real estate so if S8 comes with soft keys, I am not willing to upgrade. Happy with my S7 Edge.

                                      I can predict from here that S8 could possibly the phone of 2017.
                                      Removing fingerprint from front is a + move.
                                      They never really belonged to the front like front facing stereo spreakers
