          Samsung Galaxy S8 vs Samsung Galaxy S8+ - User Opinions

          • evita
            over 1 year ago
            The only difference is the size. The S8 measures 140.1 x 72.2 x 7.3mm, while the Plus model measures 152.4 x 78.5 x 7.9mm. You're essentially getting a bigger screen with the S8+, but other than that, the phones share a sleek and modern design. Specs: Same processor, same RAM, same storage options.Nov 5, 2018
