According to NDTV report, Samsung Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ are expected to sport 5.8-inch and 6.2-inch Super AMOLED pressure sensitive displays respectively, with QHD+ display resolutions (2400x2960 pixels). 

Samsung Galaxy S8 is pegged to have a dual-edged curved display with almost negligible bezel and 18:9 aspect ratio; the display may be named 'Infinity Display'. The two smartphones will be powered by the latest Snapdragon 835 SoC, but some markets will get the home-grown Exynos 8895 chip as well, it said. 

Both the Samsung Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ will be paired with 4GB of RAM, though China and South Korea are said to get 6GB of RAM variants.

As for the pricing, recent rumours indicate the Samsung Galaxy S8 price will start at EUR 799 (roughly Rs 56,000), while the Galaxy S8+ will be priced at EUR 899 (roughly Rs. 63,300), the report said.

However, we will have to wait for the official launch of the phones later on Wednesday in order to get fair idea about the pricing of Samsung Galaxy 8 and Galaxy 8+.
