It has a larger 5.8-inch screen than the iPhone 7 Plus' 5.5-inch screen, all while donning a smaller and more comfortable design. As you might expect, the bigger screen on the Galaxy S8 is better for using apps.

Most smartphones have a 16:9 aspect ratio, but the Galaxy S8 has an 18.5:9 aspect ratio. That means its screen is taller than most smartphone screens, including the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus, but not wider. By having a taller screen and keeping a narrow width, the Galaxy S8's body remains manageable and comfortable to use. Apart from keeping comfort while sporting a huge screen, the Galaxy S8's tall screen is also better for using apps than conventional screens. If you think about it, most apps are designed to be used vertically with swipes up and down to see the content rather than horizontally with left and right swipes.   See the rest of the story at Business Insider   Share the latest business news with your network:    Email sent to:   |   Manage your email preferences   |   Unsubscribe Terms of Service   |   Privacy Policy Business Insider. 150 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY 10011
