... sensor, USB Type-C and 3.5 mm headphone jack. The Samsung Galaxy S 8 and S 8 Plus  feature an identical design, but differ in terms of physical size. They retain the glass and metal sandwich build that saw the S 6 and S 7 devices rise to success, but the home button has been ditched in favour of an almost all-screen front and pressure-sensitve controls built into the lower section of their displays instead.

The Samsung Galaxy S 8 has a 5.8-inch AMOLED Infinity Display, while the S 8 Plus has a slightly larger 6.2-inch AMOLED Infinity display. This basically means they both have a dual-edged screen like the smaller 5.5-inch S 7 edge, but the corners of the display are rounded on the new devices while the S 7 edge has square corners.
