GALAXY S8:

One phone, two sizes: The Galaxy S8 is expected to come in two sizes: a standard Galaxy S8 mode with 5.7-inch display, and a larger S8+ version that’s rumored to have a monstrous 6.2-inch screen. Unlike the S7, which offered a smaller, traditional model and a larger, curved screen Edge variant, both the S8 and the larger S8+ are expected to have edge-to-edge curved displays.

New bezel-less design: The biggest change to the S8 is the entirely new design. While the S7 line was virtually identical to the S6 that preceded it, Samsung is overhauling the S8 with a new design that dramatically reduces the bezels. Additionally, the display is expected to use rounded corners to maximize screen space.

No buttons: The increased screen size and smaller bezels do come at a price: Samsung is expected to be removing the capacitive and hardware buttons from the front of the phone, signaling the end of what has been a Samsung mainstay on its smartphones. As part of that change, Samsung will also likely be moving

the fingerprint scanner to the back of the device.
