Analyst sees the Galaxy S8+ (on right) outselling the Galaxy S8
As the Samsung Galaxy S8 and Samsung Galaxy S8+ begin their first week on sale from carriers and retailers, an analyst from Yuanta Securities says that he expects 50.4 million units of the flagship models to be sold globally this year. Lee Jae-yoon told clients in a note today, that he sees the larger screened Samsung Galaxy S8+ accounting for the majority of flagship sales in 2017. That is due to the growing number of smartphone users watching video content and playing games on their handsets.
The Samsung Galaxy S8 and Samsung Galaxy S8+ both share the same specs except for a couple of items. The screen on the Galaxy S8+ is 6.2-inches compared to the 5.8-inch display on the Galaxy S8. And since larger screens need higher capacity batteries, the Galaxy S8+ comes with a 3500mAh power source compared to the 3000mAh juicer on the smaller-screened model.
