Samsung has the tradition of releasing two variants of its Galaxy S devices with similar features except the screen size. The upcoming flagship Galaxy S8 may also come in two models as expected, but it has emerged that the bigger sibling will be called Galaxy S8+ and not Galaxy S8 edge that many might have expected.
The South Korean technology giant is expected to unveil Samsung Galaxy S8 on March 29 before launching on April 21, according to a report by VentureBeat. The company usually release its Galaxy S series at the annual Mobile World Conference (MWC), but it may not be the case this time around.
