Those are supposedly addon screen protectors designed for the new Note, not an actual part from the device itself.
But they do show the bezel less display.

This shows renders of what it could possibly look like. From what we have seen so far, it should be close to reality.

I'm pretty excited for this phone. I am loving my new 7+, but will gladly jump to this phone if the rumors are true of a bezelless display.
I will be a bit sad if it's true that the camera isn't getting a significant upgrade. Don't get me wrong, obviously the S7 is excellent but nobody can afford to rest on their laurels.
The DeX thing is interesting, but I think we are still a couple of years away from that being truly useful and it may prove to be a killer feature of future Pixels.
It will definitely be an interesting phone, the S8. I hope Samsung go all out. They have to.

Indeed!
It's going to be a very exciting year.
I'm looking forward to that Note 8
I am also loving the Galaxy S8 rumours, again and AGAIN they jeep saying it will have a 3.5mm jack
Samsung know it's unnecessary to remove it.
I'm also looking forward to the new Exynos.

You have to wonder if the Galaxy S8 will take away a bit of the iPhone's thunder by the time it is released, since the Galaxy will be (nearly) bezel-less. And we all know that the lack of bezels is supposed to be the "big thing" for the iPhone.
Please. Yes. That looks insane.

Samsung has been schooling Apple for a while now in regards to bezels, designs, and ergonomics. The iPhone Plus is embarrassingly large next to the S7E and Note 7. Heck, it's embarrassingly large next to the Pixel XL and the 3T.
Samsung wouldn't so much be taking away Apple's thunder this year more than they would just be continuing that lead.

Returned the Pixel, gave my father my 3T, and have now downgraded back to the S6 while I wait for my next 2017 flagship (likely the S8).
The S6 is still rather capable. After disabling some apps with Package Disabler Pro (no root required) and setting up Nova launcher, this little thing still rocks. It'll be interesting to see how the Nougat update can improve things.
Oh and you bet it's great to have wireless charging back again.

He likes the 3T. I don't mind. Let him be happy.
He benefits from the larger screen and longer battery life.
Here it is folks, first live leak. Venturebeat posted these pics. They also stated that it’s going to feature 4GB of RAM and 64GB of onboard storage. A battery size of 3,000mAh and 3,500mAh is mentioned for the 5.8-inch and 6.2-inch model respectively.
I'm not sure those battery sizes are right. Those sizes are smaller than the S7 and S7 Edge batteries.

So far pretty standard. Nothing terrible but certainly not the champ like the 3T was.
With wireless charging back in my life, I'm always topping off my S6 anyway. See, that's the thing people didn't understand about wireless charging -- it's not so much that you don't have to use a wire (though that is convenient). It's more about always topping off your phone whenever you set it down. I leave work with 100% sometimes.
This is something iPhone users will soon learn to appreciate once Apple catches up!

They weren't kidding about that off-center fingerprint scanner on the back. Weird. I suspect it has to be that high up because of the size of the battery and wireless charging features.

I just saw that over at Droid Life http://www.droid-life.com/2017/01/26/galaxy-s8-pictures-leak-release-date/
Can't quite tell, but in the one on the right, looks to be a micro USB port. I'd assume they'd be going with USB C. Unless my eyes aren't what they used to be
The clean front is going to be gorgeous with the black model.
I really hope it's true there is no "Samsung" logo on the front of the USA versions.

You're not the only one to notice that, so good eye! However, Evan Bass says that's an optical illusion. It's USB-C.
It would be silly, too, of Samsung to release microUSB again after the Note 7 USB C.

Damn they really offset the finger scanner. They really should have moved the camera sensor instead like other phones do to make the scanner central.
Aside from it being too the side it's also high up. Hmmm that's a big question mark in terms of ease-of-use. I'm sure it works but can't see how it would be better than lower and central.

Hmm... You know, I'm not sure what I think about it. I was hoping for slightly more square corners. Of course phones always look bad in leaks, we all know. And was hoping they'd make the speaker grill circle cutouts instead of the weird oblong shape we see here.

It's a very attractive looking device, a nice evolution from previous models. I personally like them ditching the colored bezels. But I think the fingerprint scanner position is terrible--have to agree with @spriter in this regard, should have offset the camera instead.
I still also hate the curved edges and really hope other OEMs don't copy this style. You can have very tight bezels without using a curved display.

I was wondering it was an optical illusion based on the angle and the fuzziness of the pic.
4GB of Ram???
Weird placed finger sensor on back???
I'm not liking these new rumors?
But I'll ending up ending one if it's true anyways, cause I'm on T-Mobile JOD.

It really should be 6GB. Samsung should start pushing that next.
The fingerprint sensor location is odd indeed, but I agree, I don't think it's a dealbreaker. If it means a near bezel-less and super slick/clean front, I think that's worth it. And if that's the only position that's available after the large battery and wireless charging features, I think that's worth it, too.
We'll see how it actually feels.
Given I keep being told you guys in the alt section that you only keep 6-8 apps open, 4gb is more than enough ...4GB of Ram???

Why ? Specs for specs sake ?
Clean up Touchwiz, free some of the system ram usage current and even with 4gb there would be a tangible improvement.
Again there is an oxymoron in this fora in that you all want shitton of ram, but then say you only ever have a few (half dozen) apps open ...
Isn't the 6GB of RAM a factor in why the 3T sometimes outperforms and feels faster than the Pixel?
Otherwise, I agree with you.
