Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+ are already up there as the most anticipated devices of 2017 yet the phones will not be ready for purchase until April 21, with the official launch set to happen on March 29.
We’ve seen leaked model numbers, trademarks being filed for features such as Bixby, schematic representations of the phones, official logos and expected name, support pages, Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+ cases as well as official specs, but not all leaks mean the same thing.
Serial leaker Evan Blass, who has a huge hand in leaking the currently-known details of both Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+, has another important point to make once again. Apparently, the tipster, who also writes for Venture Beat, has stumbled upon a sign up page for the Galaxy S8 where Samsung is encouraging fans to sign up in order to be among the first to be notified about the next Galaxy phone.

This is great from Blass as it basically confirms that indeed there’s a Samsung Galaxy S8 coming sooner than later. Other than this, the page goes further to give us a clue of what the phone’s design will look like, matching what we’ve already seen in the numerous leaks and rumors doing rounds on the web. In fact, it is the same design that recently showed up in the Galaxy S7 Secure Folder APK that was discovered by Sam Mobile. The left and right sides have no bezels while those on the top and bottom are very thin.
So far, the leaked Samsung Galaxy S8 signup page is not yet live, but it should be after the launch of the phone somewhere towards the end of March. We expect to see a short video of the phone at the MWC 2017 when Samsung will be announcing the Galaxy Tab S3, but the official sales will begin on April 21.
