The Galaxy S8+ is more popular among U.S consumers; what's your preference?
Seems like size does matter for consumers in the U.S.
Despite concerns that the Galaxy Note7 debacle could dampen demand for the Galaxy S8 phones, Samsung said pre-orders for the Galaxy S8 are doing very well in the U.S.
Samsung revealed to CNBC that pre-orders in the U.S are exceeding that of the Galaxy S7 last year with a "double digit growth" of at least 10%. The South Korean company also added that the more popular model is the Galaxy S8+.
The strategy of eliminating the bezels and squeezing the biggest display possible in the Galaxy S8 clearly paid off for Samsung as consumers prefer the 6.2-inch Galaxy S8+ over the 5.8-inch Galaxy S8. Pre-orders for the Galaxy S8 also hit a new record high in South Korea.
