![]() ![]() There are a few dozen more – either free or paid – in the Samsung store. Dig into the settings, however, and you can add a useful Clipboard edge, which keeps a list of previously copied items, a Reminder edge, Tasks edge, Weather bar, Quick Tools, Calendar, Music controls bar, and more. You can flick between an app launcher, contacts shortcuts, and Smart Select screenshot tool as standard. For the S8, Samsung has made the "edge" shortcut bar, which is swiped in from the side of the display, standard now. Samsung may no longer call it TouchWiz, but its customized interface certainly traces its roots back to that love-it-or-hate-it UI. ![]() Even though it's a 5.8-inch display on the S8 and a 6.2-inch display on the S8+, the handsets themselves are impressively compact. Combined with a black bezel top and bottom, along with curved corners, and you could almost mistake the whole fascia for being screen. Now branded "Infinity Display", the panel extends smoothly around the left and right edges of the handset, on both the Galaxy S8 and the S8+. Unlike the Galaxy S7, which was offered in both regular and "edge" versions, the S8 doesn't give you a choice of having curved AMOLED or not. Since both phones are, aside from display size and battery size, fundamentally identical, moving forward when we refer to the S8 you can assume it holds true for the S8+ as well. Its tapered edges minimize what's already a thin device – 8.0mm for the S8, 8.1mm for the S8+. I made a lot of how easy to hold LG's G6 was, with its unusual aspect-ratio display, but Samsung's phone is even more hand-friendly. The Galaxy S8 is just 68.1 mm wide, while the S8+ is 73.4mm wide.
