After weeks of rumors and leaks that made this device one of the worst kept secrets in the industry, Samsung finally took the wraps off of the flagship Galaxy S8 earlier this week. Samsung has made some big changes with the latest addition to their high-end Galaxy S series, including a beautiful, near bezel-less design, the removal of the signature physical home button up front, a change in the display aspect ratio, the introduction of their Bixby AI feature, and a whole lot more. As has also been the case before, the latest Samsung flagship is going to be the phone to beat in 2017.
