Samsung Galaxy A8s will be the world's first smartphone to feature an Infinity-O display when it launches in China on December 10.

Samsung will release the Galaxy A8s in China on December 10, the world’s first smartphone with the screen hole design. The South Korean major shared the official release date via the teaser poster for the Galaxy A8s on its official Weibo account.

This will be the first smartphone to have a hole in the display for the front-facing selfie camera. Samsung calls this new type of screen as the “Infinity-O”, which the company announced at its recent developer conference in San Francisco.

While Huawei plans to launch its in-display selfie camera sporting Nova 4 on 17 December, Samsung will likely be beating them to the race with the launch of the Galaxy A8s on 10 December in China.

Samsung which was the first to showcase its infinity-O display in early November will be launching its first smartphone with the front camera placed at the top left corner of the phone. The design appears to be almost identical to the one teased by Huawei for the Nova 4, but Samsung will make it to the finish line before Huawei does. Or so it seems.

It almost looks like Samsung was waiting for Huawei to announce the launch of the Nova 4 in China to arrive at a decision for launching the Galaxy A8s. Samsung took to its weibo account to publish a poster of the launch, also revealing the overall design of the phone.

The front camera which sits inside the display will likely be a 24 MP unit while the rear features a triple-camera setup similar to the one seen on the Galaxy A7 this year.
