            The Note 8 is also the bigger of these two sets of phones, though not by that much. The Samsung Galaxy S8 has a 5.8-inch screen, with the S8+ upping that to 6.2-inches. The Note 8 packs a 6.3-inch display, and it doesn't feel too much bigger than the S8+ when you're holding them both.Feb 6, 2019
