Consumers who are looking forward to the Galaxy S8 smartphones can expect the screen sizes to increase significantly.

According to Korean news outlet The Bell, an analyst claimed that Samsung decided to equip the Galaxy S8 models with bigger screens so as to attract former Galaxy Note7 customers. The Galaxy S8 is said to come in 5.7-inch and 6.2-inch curved screen variants. 

Despite the increase in screen size, the form factor of the phone is unlikely to be changed as Samsung is aiming for a bezel-less design with no physical home button.

This is in line with the numerous reports we've heard so far on the Galaxy S8; there might not be a flat-screen model and the fingerprint sensor could be embedded in the display to achieve a "full-screen" design. Testing is expected to begin in January with full volume supplies starting in February and a possible launch in March.
