Samsung is set to launch its newest flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S10, early next year, but the tech giant is still tight-lipped on every little detail of the next dream phone. However, there have been leaks from a few insiders about the ultimate handset, including the upcoming Galaxy A8s, which is expected to be launched in December.
The Galaxy S10 and Galaxy A8s will be sporting the new Infinity-O screen display, but Samsung has yet to reveal what's in the pipeline. Talking about A8s, the phone will soon be released in public with a top-notch screen display, which was leaked by a known Samsung insider Ice Universe @UniverseIce on Twitter.
Huawei will release the world's first hole-screen mobile phone before the Samsung Galaxy A8s, which will be released in December, but the A8s may also be released in December, so who will start, it will wait and see.

During a developer conference, Samsung showed some new notch designs for its future handsets with four different phone silhouettes that are labeled Infinity-V, Infinity U, New Infinity, and Infinity-O. As per Android Authority, the newest leak from Ice Universe may have granted the first look at an Infinity-O screen protector or a cover glass.
Showing a photo on Twitter, the known leaker wrote that it might be the world's first hole in the screen handset, the Galaxy A8s, with a circular hole intended for a front-facing camera just in the upper left corner of the display. Recently, a cut-out was also leaked on Twitter through Samsung Mobile News showing a 6.77mm selfie camera of the Galaxy A8s, which is also suspected to be the same as the Galaxy S10's front camera although it's going to be smaller.
The screen protector, or cover glass that Ice Universe posted on Twitter, appears to have curved sides as well as round bezels, and he envisions that this will be the display that Samsung will use on the Galaxy A8s. A separate Samsung insider previously said that the technology that the tech giant uses is exclusive to the company at the moment, so people expect it to be top-of-the-line.
Further, reports from Korea also suggested that the company has started the production of Infinity-O display panels intended for the Galaxy S10. As such, the Galaxy A8s might just be one of them.
The Galaxy A8s will reportedly come in 6.39 inches Infinity-O display with full HD+ resolution and will use a Snapdragon 170 processor. It will also sport a triple rear camera setup that comes in 24-, 10-, and 5-megapixel cameras.
Additionally, it will also have 6GB of RAM, 128GB of storage, and a 3,400mAh battery. Its front-facing or selfie camera setup, which is reportedly 6.77mm wide, will have a 24MP camera.
