There are rumors that the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S8 will come in two models with different screen sizes: a 5.7-inch model, and a bigger 6.2-inch variant. 

The Galaxy S8 is expected to be Samsung's flagship device in 2017. The phone is slated to be revealed at the end of February or early March. If these rumors are true, Samsung will most like use the 2017 Mobile World Congress in Spain to unveil its flagship devices, according to Android Police.

Given Samsung's blunder with the Galaxy Note 7, tech analysts expect the South Korean tech giant to bounce back and gain the market it had lost with the Galaxy S8.

A South Korean publication recently released a report claiming that the Galaxy S8 will sport dual-edge display, with the larger model featuring an edge-to-edge display, much like the Xiaomi Mi MIX.

According to Android Headlines, the smaller Galaxy S8 has an internal model number SM-G950. The larger one, which many believe will be called Galaxy S8 Plus, has an internal model number SM-G955.

The smaller Galaxy S8 model will sport Samsung's trademark curved edges. The larger model, aside from having an edge-to-edge display design, will also ditch the Home Button and Capacitive key combination for on-screen keys. This is the first time Samsung will ditch the physical Home button on its flagship device and opt for software-based navigation keys.
