    Ofir, 13 Jan 2017'Plus' model to feature 'dual camera', no home button... so... moreDid you and everyone else complaining about the lack of a rear dual camera setup on the S8 NOT read the article? It's a cost saving measure nothing more, they're not intentionally trying to copy Apple even though it may seem that way at first. Jeez readers on this site just rush to the comment section to bitch and moan without reading first.

              I am extremely happy to see the Samsung S8 Plus variant with a 6.2" display. I just hope there is a white phone available. If not I will go with the silver. I won't get my hopes up until the official new release from Samsung comes out detailing the specs for the S8/S8 Plus.

                5.7 " For standard model? Are you crazy? Why didn't they use this opportunity to make perhaps a more compact 5.1 " handset with the reduced bezels for those who prefer a smaller footprint like me. That would be great. I'm somewhat disappointed.

                      Wow Samsung copies Apple again. Apple are removing their home button. Samsung have even copied the iPhones upcoming edge to edge display feature. Hey Samsung, come up with your own ideas, what next? the S8 going to copy apple by using a OLED screen?

                        I hate that damned curved screen. Makes holding the phone without triggering the screen impossible...

                              why wont Samsung just rebrand their phones to gPhone and Apple rebrand theirs to iGalaxy since they're so madly obsessed with each other.

                                Why? Those bozo's are completely clueless as to what a phone should actually do. They live in their ivory towers with "staff" fulfilling all their needs (even taking telephone calls) and are to be too big for one's boots.
