On the design front, Samsung is ditching the home button on the front, and instead moving the fingerprint scanner to the back of the phone. Samsung has introduced a special button on the side of the device to launch the new Bixby voice-assistant.
Both smartphones feature water and dust resistance, as well as a Type-C USB charging port at the bottom. Finally, it is not killing off the headphone jack, just yet.
