Samsung's Galaxy S8 might have larger screen to cater to Note7 users
Samsung's reportedly planning to pull out all the stops for the its next flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S8. The Korean electronics company is rumored to be increasing the current Galaxy S7's 5.1-inch display to a 5.7-inch screen on the S8 to appease users who were burned (whoops!) by the Galaxy Note7, according to The Investor, which is published by The Korea Herald.

Slated for release early next year, the Galaxy S8 will be Samsung's chance at earning back lost consumer trust after Galaxy Note7s started exploding and prompted two recalls and its eventual discontinuation. A larger screen doesn't necessarily mean a larger phone.
