With only a few weeks to go before Samsung makes the Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus official, images of the smartphones are flooding the internet. The latest images show how the 5.8-inch Galaxy S8 and 6.2-inch Galaxy S8 Plus's Always-On Display in action.
After the Galaxy Note 7 debacle, Samsung is going all out in big ways for the upcoming Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus. The smartphones won't make an official appearance at Mobile World Congress 2017 like its predecessors, but reports claim Samsung will announce an official launch date at the show.
Larger Displays Coming To Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus
Like the Galaxy Note 7, Samsung's next generation flagship smartphones will pack in jumbo-sized displays. The Galaxy S8 will feature a large 5.8-inch Quad HD dual curved edge SUPER AMOLED display and as its name implies, the Galaxy S8 Plus will boast an ever bigger 6.2-inch screen.
In late January, we got our first look at a Samsung Galaxy S8 in the wild and the images confirmed the button-less near bezel-free curved display and metal and glass design. Now, we get to see how the 5.8-inch Samsung Galaxy S8 compares with its 6.2-inch larger sibling, as well as both smartphone's Always-On Display in action.
Images Compare Galaxy S8 5.8-Inch Display To S8 Plus' 6.2-Inch
Ice universe posted an image of the 5.8-inch Samsung Galaxy S8 next to the 6.2-inch Galaxy S8 Plus on Twitter. As you can see in the image above, the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus shown appear to be black color options and the Always-On Display, which first debuted on the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge, show the current time, date, and square on-screen button toward the bottom of both displays.
Also visible are the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus's front-facing camera, which is believed to be an 8-megapixel shooter, in addition to an iris scanner and other sensors.
Samsung is expected to unveil and officially launch the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus at a media event on March 29 in New York City. The smartphones are widely expected to be released globally on Friday, April 21 and most reports claim the handsets will carry a higher price tag than that of their predecessors.
Galaxy S8 And S8 Plus Will Still Fit In Your Hand
Even though the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus have larger displays than the 5.1-inch Galaxy S7 and 5.5-inch Galaxy S7 edge, the overall size of the new smartphones are expected to be similar to the S7 and S7 edge. Samsung has greatly reduced the top and bottom bezels found on the new displays and has removed the physical home button and capacitive keys that normally sit below the screen.
This surely won't be the last Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus leak and once we hear of the next, we'll bring it right to you.
