Galaxy S8 breaks cover in blue, white and silver
Some GS8 models may have colored front panels, if latest leak is to be believed.
The most recent Galaxy S8 render leaks may have given us the impression that Samsung’s next major phone will use black front panels, even if the rest of the phone is silver, grey or some other color. However fresh live photos of the phone, scooped up from Chinese social network Weibo by Dutch outlet Techtastic, suggests that at the very least some GS8 models may feature colored front panels as well.
Behold, the Galaxy S8 in blue, white (we think — though it may be gold) and silver:
The shots appear to show legitimate, functioning Galaxy S8 models — though it’s tough to get a feel for which of these might be the larger GS8 Plus. At the very least, it shows that Samsung is considering colored bezels for some GS8s, even as it reduces the screen borders to almost nothing.
So if you’d like a little more color in your, it appears that may well be an option. And if you’d prefer to not be looking at seven very obvious cut-outs in the top bezel (for various cameras and sensors), it seems that’ll be an option too.
Multiple color options for the GS8 would be in line with the past few release cycles for Samsung flagships — even if they don’t reach all regions. A purple hue has also been rumored in recent days.
We’ll know more when the Galaxy S8 officially launches in New York on March 29.
