Samsung Galaxy S8 it will have a screen with a diagonal of 5.8 inches, the height of which will be much greater than the width, and this also means that it will have a new resolution. According to an image that appeared during this day, the Samsung Galaxy S8 will have a screen resolution of 2960 x 1440 pixels, slightly higher than the one used in the Samsung Galaxy S7.
More precisely, the Samsung Galaxy S8 will have more pixels in height and the same pixels in width, considering that the screen has only been modified in height. The Samsung Galaxy S7 has a resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels, while the Samsung Galaxy S8 has a resolution of 2960 x 1440 pixels and the difference between them is as clear as possible, and it seriously matters.
Although the Samsung Galaxy S8 has a screen with a resolution of 2960 x 1440 pixels, called WQHD+, it seems that by default it will display images at 2220 x 1080 pixels, i.e. FHD+. This choice by Samsung for the Samsung Galaxy S8 screen resolution could be made with the idea of saving energy while using the device.
Samsung Galaxy S8 - here is the new strange resolution
Considering that both resolutions that the Samsung Galaxy S8 can set for the screen are very high anyway, few will notice the difference between them. However, Samsung offers the possibility to set the higher resolution for the Samsung Galaxy S8, so users can choose for themselves which resolution to display the images on the terminal screens.
Samsung has implemented this function for some time in terminals to offer the possibility to reduce energy consumption, and the strategy continues with the Samsung Galaxy S8. In the image we see a Samsung Galaxy S8 terminal used by a person who is most likely testing the new product for those from Samsung.
We will find out all these details officially on March 29, when the Samsung Galaxy S8 will be presented, so then we will know more details about what the Koreans will offer us. Meanwhile, the resolution of 2960 x 1440 pixels in the Samsung Galaxy S8 could also be found in other terminals that will have screens as large, except for the iPhone 8.
