Although Samsung , with both of its two consecutive flagships of 2015 and 2016, has released two different models of the same device ( a normal variant and an edge variant) it plans to change that tradition for next year's model. According to a recent report Samsung is considering having curved displays on both of the models of the Galaxy S8.
The sizes of the displays will however be different, as is the norm these days to have a smaller and a larger variant of the same phone. A 5.1 inch screen for the smaller variant and a 5.5 inch panel for the bigger sibling. These are also the same screen sizes of the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge.
Nothing is still official as Samsung itself has not spoken on the topic. However if we speculate , Samsung said that the edge variant of the Galaxy S7 is selling substantially more that the normal flat screen variant and to add to this Samsung this year with its Note 7 included the curved display by default with no other variant. So this makes it even more possible for both the models of the Galaxy S8 to have curved displays. One can hope though.
Another thing to think about is the naming scheme that Samsung would have to adopt if it does opt to put curved screens on both S8 models. With the Galaxy S7 the smaller version was just called the Galaxy S7 and the phone with the larger and curved screen was called the S7 edge. This time round however Samsung would have to change things up a bit as both phones would have curved screens.
What do you think of this rumor? Would you like to see a 5.1 inch curved display on the Galaxy s8 or do you think Samsung should stick to its current strategy? Comment your thoughts down below.
