From Galaxy S8 and S8+ specificatons, you come to see that the two smartphones have more in common that S7 and S7 Edge did and the reason is that Samsung company want the customers to have explored the use of their new product making no choice of smartphone a bad choice.
The differences between both smartphones are therefore minimal yet simultaneously huge. From a technical perspective, the main differences are between the display and the battery. The Galaxy S8 has a display of 5.8 inches. The S8+, on the other hand, is 6.2 inches. So the Galaxy S8+ is considerably larger than the S8, as can be seen in the picture below.
This “small” difference in size leads to quite a significant difference when you hold each device in your hand. The hands-on review shows that the fingerprint sensor on the S8+ is not as good as on the S8: aside from its strange placement beside the rear camera, on the S8, the sensor is much easier to reach. At best, the sensor is difficult to reach if you use the device single-handed on the S8+. And on top of all that, the notification bar is far away.
Regarding the battery, the Galaxy S8+ has a slightly larger battery, by 500 mAh, so it should last a bit longer in a direct comparison.

The S8 and the S8+ both offer high-end performance. If you want a big smartphone, you might be more interested in the S8+. The 5.8-inch display of the S8 should not drive away those who prefer compact smartphones: the S8 remains pleasantly compact, even if it is again a little bit bigger than the Galaxy S7 from last year.
Overall, Samsung has gone the same way as others have already gone – like Google: a generation with two different sized smartphones, for which the main differences lie in size and battery. As such, the S8 and S8+ are not noticeably different. The choice between the two is, therefore, mainly a question of size preference.
