The Galaxy S8 is going to have a larger diagonal screen than many people expected, and this is because Samsung wants to win back some of the Galaxy Note 7 customers. According to a rumor that appeared during this day, the Samsung company intends to launch the Galaxy S8 with screens which have diagonals of 5.7 inches and 6.2 inches respectively, unusually large.
The Galaxy S7 series has 5.1-inch and 5.5-inch screens, which are normal, but for the Galaxy S8, Samsung is talking about doing something really extravagant and maybe stupid. By increasing the diagonal so much, Samsung will inevitably increase the dimensions of the terminals, perhaps much too much compared to what consumers now want from these products.
Yes, Samsung could launch the Galaxy S8 with a screen that stretches from one edge to the other of the case, but even so, the model with a 5.7-inch screen will be larger than the current Galaxy S7, and not by a little. In the case of the model with a 6.2-inch screen, we are talking about a very big difference compared to the S7 Edge and the proximity to tablets with 7-inch screens.
Those who offer this rumor claim that such a large increase in the diagonals of the screens would be possible without increasing the dimensions of the case, but this seems quite improbable. If this is still the case, then we will be talking about a rather strange format for a smartphone, with an unusually large screen width, and some may be unhappy about it.
According to The Bell, the S8 will be launched in two models with 5.7-inch and 6.2-inch screens, respectively. Despite no change in the phone size, a bezel-less design will remove the home button on the bottom, allowing more space for an immersive viewing."
What do you think about this Samsung strategy?
