Amazing leak shows Samsung Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus coming to Carphone Warehouse

by John_A

Samsung will finally take the wraps off the long-awaited Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus tomorrow at an event in New York. When it is shown off, we fully expect mobile networks in the UK to present their best contract deals.

But even with around 24 hours to go until the event, the leaks haven’t stopped. Pocket-lint has been tipped off by Twitter user @Carleaks94, with an exclusive Carphone Warehouse deal that confirms the naming of the phones and what they’ll look like. 

The deal is for a free Samsung wireless speaker worth £99.99 with a purchase of either phone, but the most exciting part is that we finally get to see how the phones will look, instead of having to rely on renders. 

The image shows the two phones and a look at the front and back of both devices. As has been rumoured on numerous occasions, the Galaxy S8 will come with a screen that takes up the majority of the front side, although we expect them to retain similar dimensions to the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge. The increase in screen real estate is due to Samsung removing the physical front-mounted home button.

The fingerprint scanner now sits on the back, next to the camera module, something else that has been previously rumoured, and you can just about see it in the Carphone Warehouse image. 

While the leak doesn’t give away how much either phone will cost on a contract with the respective mobile networks, we expect them to cost between £750 and £900 SIM-free, depending on which model you go for.
