Alongside the traditional Galaxy S8, Samsung also released the bigger version, Galaxy S8+.
As we see, in the last couple of years, there is a trend among manufacturers to release a bigger version to their flagship device.
For example, Apple has released the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. So, along with the long awaited Galaxy S8, Samsung also presented the S8+, which is a bigger version.
But, how much does size matter to customers?
We don’t know, but it seems that manufacturers are keeping releasing bigger sizes. The new Samsung Galaxy S8+ costs 850 dollars, which means that it costs 100 dollars more compared with the original version.
One of the best things about this new phone is that it also has a bigger battery, which means a longer battery life. But, we don’t know if this thing is worth a 100 dollars more.
However, the new Galaxy S8+ is a great device, and people who are in search for bigger phones will definitely check this device out. As for design, the new S8+ model is identical with the original Galaxy S8 version, but in a bigger shape.
No matter which of these two devices customers will choose, they should know that these two are now the most powerful phones on the market.
Both of these devices come with huge screen sizes, curved glass and amazing camera.
Moreover, both devices have the ability to reach wireless signals where other phones can’t.
But, which are the differences between these two models?
Well, let’s find out.
The most obvious difference between the new Galaxy S8+ and S8 is the size.
- Galaxy S8+ measures 6.28 x 2.89 x 0.32 inches and weighs approximately 6.09 ounces.
- On the other side, Galaxy S8 weighs 5.47 ounces and measures 5.86 x 2.68 x 0.31 inches.
Another interesting thing to know is that the bigger model comes with the same resolution as the original model, 2.960 x 1.440 resolution.
Why is this so interesting?
Because, the new Galaxy S8+ has a bigger screen than the original model.
- Another great thing about the new Galaxy S8+ is that it has a bigger battery, featuring 3.500mAh.
- As we know, the original model homes a 3.000mAh battery.
This bigger battery represents 1-2 hours of additional usage compared with the original model. We must say that this is a good thing, because users will be able to watch more YouTube videos with the screen set to maximum brightness.
But, do these make a difference when it comes to choosing one of the two devices?
Well, we must say that it all comes down to customers’ preferences.
As we mentioned, there are customers who love bigger phones and customers who don’t. Having bigger phones is not always a good thing, because they are not so travel-friendly.
So, besides the size and the bigger battery, we must say that these two phones are the same. They share the same cameras, the same speaker volume, and the same design.
