Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+ unveiled with 'infinity display'

Brand hopes to win back consumer trust after Note 7 debacle with new phone that's almost completely bezel-free and includes its new virtual assistant

Samsung has unveiled the Galaxy S8 and S8+, the company's first flagship phones since the Note 7 debacle in 2016 threatened to sink its brand in the eyes of the public.

The new phones' most eye-catching feature is an almost completely bezel-free display, running the full width of the device, even curving around the edge (akin to the screen on Samsung's Galaxy S7 Edge), and shrinking the chin and forehead of the front screen to tiny slivers. Samsung's calls this the "infinity display", and even the home button has been removed, replaced with a pressure-sensitive section at the bottom of the screen.
