The Samsung Galaxy S8 / S8+ does not seem to be off the news at all. Twitter tipster Evan Blass has leaked yet another press image of the upcoming flagship duo. The photos show the back of the device clearly for the first time. We can finally see that Samsung has moved the fingerprint scanner from the front and placed it right beside the rear camera. A new colour scheme allegedly named Orchid Grey is also visible in the disclosed images.
