Samsung Galaxy S9 vs Galaxy S8: comparing the screen to body ratio

11 February 2018
Will the new Samsung flagships have better StB ratio? We try to give an early answer based on leaked images.

Sort by:

CJha, 12 Feb 2018True, but active models are available with only one carrier... more More than one US carrier sell Active models now. If you want to get one pre owned (at lower costs no less) go to Amazon.com or EBay.com.

    Samsung must set at least minimum 3500mah battery in S8 or S9 rather than keeping it from 3000

            I have an S8 Active and love it -- and I'm not "active". Flat screen, slightly more bezels, but doesn't break on the first drop so it doesn't require a case and it has a bigger battery. I might have held off for an S9 if I thought the Active version wouldn't take an extra 6 months.

              Convex screen is no good. If convex is great, why Samsung makes their curve tv concave

                            In this article the S8+'s has 87.5%, while in the specs page it is shown as 84%.....
                            How can one believe a self-contradicting website?!

                                  Thin bezels are good, but they should stop with this "edge screen" nonsense. It doesn't make any sense, there is hardly any curve to make a difference in usability, but the curve is enough that we cannot use a screen protector properly. Be done with this stupid "edge screen" Samsung and make it foldable or just plain flat. I miss the flat versions of the flagships from before S8.

                                    I don't care about design anymore. I've used Sony Z3 - Samsung S6 Edge - HTC One M9 - iPhone 7 - many others. Performance is more important for me.
