As I understand it the S8 is slightly smaller than the S7 Edge but the screen of course is bigger but the S8+ is significantly bigger.
Will likely end up going for the S8. The S7 Edge has completely won me over from Apple and I don't foresee the iPhone 8 doing anything revolutionary that makes me hesitate in favor of waiting until the fall.
Picture! S7's on the left, S8's on the right.
Main difference appears to be length. Both the regular and plus versions of the S8 are longer than the S7 versions, although width is pretty similar. Apparently, the aspect ratio goes from 16:9 to 18.5:9 (a touch taller than the LG G6 at 18:9 or 2:1). Initial hands-on reviews suggest that the S8+ is more difficult to use one-handed due to the length (obvious point is obvious). Frankly, the regular GS6 tests my one-handed ability for things at the edges of the screen. I'm sure it would just be exacerbated with the GS8.
