- Samsung Electronics has decided to enlarge the display screen of its upcoming Galaxy S8 smartphone possibly to attract potential Note customers who prefer a bigger-screen phone, a local news outlet reported on Nov. 9.
- According to The Bell, the S8 will be launched in two models with 5.7-inch and 6.2-inch screens, respectively.
- Its predecessor S7 came with a 5.1-inch screen last year, while its Edge variant featured a 5.7-inch screen.
The report says that the tech giant wants the Galaxy S8 to be aimed at Galaxy Note series customers as well (understandably, because of the Note7 fiasco), and that's why the display size of the Galaxy S8 models has been increased to 5.7-inch and 6.2-inch, respectively.
Another important thing the report notes is that the physical size of the phone will remain unchanged - the enlarged display will result in the handset having a bezel-less design, that will eat up the home button as well.
