Samsung might bring its edge display to both Galaxy 8 models

It should be even harder for you to decide which Galaxy 8 to buy next year.

According to The Bell (via Droid-Life), next year’s Android flagship from Samsung, thought to be called Galaxy S8, will come in two different sizes, just like the last couple generations that preceded it, but they’ll both feature edge displays, which is the glass curve on the side that begun with 2015’s Galaxy S6 smartphone. This edge makes the phone appear bezel-less and provides more touch functionality.

Not only will both sizes of the Galaxy S8 have an edge display, but there won’t be a flat model, according to the report. So, what will be the difference between them? Well, one will have a 5.7-inch screen, which will make it larger than the Galaxy S7, and one will have a 6.2-inch screen. The larger phone might also sport on-screen buttons instead of physical and capacitive buttons.

If Samsung follows previous release patterns, chances are we will see a Galaxy S8 launch at Mobile World Congress next year. The show takes place from 27 February to 2 March 2017, which would mean the potential launch date could be 26 February. Although there has been claims that the launch could be brought forward to regain consumer confidence after the issues with the Note 7.
