Samsung has launched the 6GBRAM and 128GB ROM variant in India. The device is priced at a hefty Rs 74,990 price tag and will be available for pre-booking on Flipkart and Samsung Shop from tomorrow. However, the device will only start shipping devices after June 9.
The device will be available in midnight black colour. In a bid to promote the device, Samsung is also offering free wireless charger with the device.
"The new Galaxy S8+ variant with its best in class 6GB RAM and 128GB internal memory is the ultimate device for users who aspire to explore new possibilities, are always on top of their game, and for whom, multi-tasking is a way of life," Asim Warsi, Senior Vice President, Mobile Business, Samsung India, said in a statement.
Infinity Screen
Without a doubt, the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ seem to have an evolutionary better curved display called Infinity Screen. What's left of the bezel around the screen is black, which blends into the screen seamlessly.
The two devices come with a 5.8 inch and a massive 6.2 inch screen curved display. Due to the incredible screen to body ratio, the devices' physical dimensions do not pose a threat to an average-sized human hand. Samsung also claims the display is much brighter and has better contrast than the outgoing Galaxy S7. Both devices will sport a 2K display.
Samsung made a bold move by not introducing a flat screen alternative for the device. It's betting all it's cards on the curved display.
No home button
Samsung has very well lived up to the early concepts of the device. The front panel of the device is seamless with the home button integrated under the screen. Though the button won't be visible, it will react to the pressure. It seems Samsung borrowed a page from Apple's force-touch technology.
