Alleged dimensions of the Samsung Galaxy S8 and Samsung S8 Plus leak
A report published today allegedly leaks the dimensions of the Samsung Galaxy S8 and Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus. The Samsung Galaxy S8 will reportedly weigh in at 140.14 x 72.20 x 7.30mm. While shorter and thinner than the Samsung Galaxy S7, this year's flagship will apparently be wider than the 2016 flagship. But that is because the 5.7-inch curved screen that is supposed to be employed on the Galaxy S8, is much wider than the smaller 5.1-inch flat screen used on the Galaxy S7.
With a rumored 6.2-inch curved display, the dimensions of the Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus are rumored to be 152.38 x 78.51 x 7.94mm. These measurements show that the premium model will be taller and wider compared to the Galaxy S7 edge, again due to the larger display.
While the images show the lack of a home button as rumored (the fingerprint scanner will be embedded under the display according to the latest rumors), there is a major caveat. The drawings show a microUSB 2.0 port which contradicts renders from case makers that show the Galaxy S8 sporting a USB Type-C port. With that in mind, you might want to take these dimensions with the proverbial grain of salt.
