Samsung will reportedly kill the headphone jack in the Galaxy S8
According to the site, Samsung may also be ditching the physical home button, something that's been a staple of Samsung devices for years. The fingerprint sensor will reportedly be integrated into the display, which would be an impressive feat.
That display is going to be 2K, once again dispelling rumors of a 4K display - which seem to show up every year. There could be any number of reasons for going with 2K, such as the amount of strain that 8.3 million pixels puts on the GPU compared to 3.7 million, or that a fingerprint sensor would likely have to take up space between the pixels, and 4K might not leave enough room for that.
According to numerous rumors, the Galaxy S8 will be announced at Mobile World Congress this spring, and it will use a Snapdragon 835 chipset. It will likely feature other advanced features such as a non-exploding battery.

Swift They saw how people lost their shit when they took removed the expandable storage.They threw shade at Apple for doing this same thing.
Why would they think this would be a good idea?
Because they know people will still buy it. These phone companies have us thinking that we need to upgrade to the newest $800 phone every year. Until people stop buying into corporate greed, stuff like that is going to continue to happen. And that's not just with the phone industry.

I like the idea of a fingerprint to open the home screen but I don't understand why they would remove the headphone jack, everyone hates it on the new iPhone..

I like the way this is gaining traction. I think the increasing push on wireless connectivity will force companies to find ways to make it more energy efficient to have wireless headphones and other devices, possibly resulting in better quality sound and longer battery life
