Specification and Price of Samsung Galaxy S8

Specification and Price of Samsung Galaxy S8: The Samsung Galaxy S8 is one of Samsung’s flagship smartphones for 2017. It is probably going to be the smallest, with its huge 5.8-inch display. The smartphone is more compact than 5.5-inch smartphones like the OnePlus 3T, despite the large screen due to its near-invisible bezel and the lack of a physical home button.

The Design and Display

The smartphone is made of glass and metal with a beautiful style. The entire front is sealed with Corning Gorilla Glass 5. The backside is just that. One of the fundamental changes to the app is that you have the home button gone. This suggests that the fingerprint sensor has now moved to the back, next to the rear camera. Releasing the home button created space that allowed the Samsung Galaxy S8 screen to be extended downwards. This made it possible for Samsung to put a large screen into a smaller body, making the phone simple to manage.

Body

Despite offering a larger frame, the Galaxy S8 is smaller than the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge. By being almost bezeless, it also helped a lot to make the Samsung Galaxy S8 more compact.
