Instead, the S8 will feature a virtual home button “buried in the glass in the the lower section,” Bloomberg reports. This would allow for Samsung to create a phone with a larger screen without increasing its overall footprint. What’s not clear from the “people with direct knowledge of the matter” that Bloomberg spoke to is whether the button will be a standard capacitive key, or whether it will feature some sort of haptic feedback like the home button on the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus.

That Samsung will have a phone ready to launch in March comes as little surprise given the disastrous launch of the Galaxy Note 7. Despite early success, Samsung recalled the Note 7 not once, but twice following reports that flaws in the phone’s battery design were causing it to smoke, or in some cases catch fire. Bloomberg notes that while Samsung is targeting a March release date for the S8, it could be pushed back further due to “tougher testing procedures” following the Note 7 fiasco.
