A leaked photo of the Galaxy S8, according to a previous VentureBeat report.
The report lines up with past leaks from The Guardian and VentureBeat. The latter previously wrote that the device would launch at Samsung's next "Unpacked" event on March 29, while the latter said that it would actually go on sale "on or around" April 21.
In any case, it appears all but certain that Samsung will not unveil the phone at this month's Mobile World Congress show in Barcelona, which it has traditionally used to showcase the latest in its Galaxy S line.

Beyond that, other details from the report largely line up with past rumors. Expect two different versions of the device that will both have curved displays, rear-mounted fingerprint scanners, thin bezels, 3.5mm headphone jacks, and a new virtual assistant named Bixby.
Notably, the report says that AI assistant will be a relaunched version of Samsung's existing S Voice service - which has generally been seen as lacking in the past - instead of using the technology it acquired when it bought Viv Labs, a startup that was founded by co-creators of Apple's Siri tech.
