Samsung Galaxy S8 vs iPhone 8 Design: What’s the difference?

The Samsung Galaxy S7 was a nice phone, but the Galaxy S8 is next level. It has a curved AMOLED display that melts into the metal and glass back and helps it sit comfortably in your hand.
It’s big, yes – it’s always going to big be with a 5.7-inch display – but it’s not too big. If anything, it’s the smallest big phone there is thanks to its narrower and taller design.
