Samsung's all-new Galaxy S8 looks set be unveiled in a few months time and the excitement around this device is growing by the day.
The Korean tech firm is expected to reveal all at an event in April with the Galaxy S8 rumoured to feature an improved display, better camera and new home button which will be embedded under the screen.
There's also plenty of talk that Samsung's S8 will be the fastest Android smartphone ever with rumours suggesting the device will get exclusive use of Qualcomm's new Snapdragon 835 chip.
Now a leaked case might reveal even more about the S8 and there's one feature that could have many Samsung fans reaching for the pre-order button.
A video posted by MobileFun claims to show that the S8 may include Samsung's S Pen stylus.

Samsung Galaxy S8 will get a dramatic new design, with no buttons, and an edge-to-edge display
Until now the S Pen has only been included as part of the Note Series but, after the recent battery problems, that device may be consigned to the history books.
This gives Samsung the perfect opportunity to add the S Pen to its latest flagship smartphone.
This mini digital pen allows you to write notes and doodle on the display without using your fingers.
The Note 7 S Pen included a smaller nib and better pressure sensitivity which could even be used when the display was wet.
Along with a gap for an S Pen, the leaked case also reveals that Samsung could include a dual speaker on the S8.
Apple added better sound to its iPhone 7 last year and Samsung will want to keep up with its biggest rival.
And there's more good news for music lovers as it appears the device will have a headphone port.
It also seems that Samsung will release it's next phone in two sizes with an S8 and S8 Plus looking likely to arrive at launch.

Of course, there's nothing to confirm this case is real and some of the holes cut into the plastic do appear a little suspect.
The video also concludes that a charger won't fit through any of the gaps in the case meaning Samsung would have to fill the phone with juice via wireless technology – something that looks very unlikely.
Other reports have claimed that Samsung has decided to scrap plans to use a dual-camera system on the Galaxy S8 due to high costs associated with it.
As for software, the Galaxy S8 is expected to ship with Google’s last Android Nougat operating system, putting it right at the forefront of the market.
But Samsung will also be keen to include some of its own tools and features, with the Galaxy S8 set be the first phone to ship with the company’s clever new virtual assistant, purportedly dubbed Bixby.
