Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ screen size and retail bakage

[Anageh90]

this is my second post here and i am concentrating on things can annoy the users (lovers) of Samsung new flagship
this time i will talk about the screen size and i do believe that a lot of people love the big screen phones but also there is some people don't like it and with 5.8 inch for S8 and 6.2 inch for S8+ now we are talking about phablets not phones so i hope that can't affect the new flagship
now take a look at the retail package of the S8+

Don't get too hung up on the screen size. If the rumored dimensions are true, the S8 is pretty much the same size as the current S7... 140.1 x 72.2 x 7.3 mm on the S8 vs 142.4 x 69.6 x 7.9 mm on the S7. The screen is significantly larger, but there's no home button and unlike the regular S7, it's curved. It's sort of like getting a +1 tire upgrade (bigger rim, thinner tire, same wheel size)

Even the S8+ is only marginally larger than the S7 Edge.

For all intents and purposes, you probably wouldn't be able notice much of a difference in size since we're talking a couple of millimeters here or there. The S8 will look massive compared to the S7, but that's a function of the fact that much larger screen.

Actually the current s7 is 142.4 mm x 69.6 mm and the specs for the s8 are rumored to be 148.9 mm x 68mm.
