About Samsung Galaxy S8+
The Samsung Galaxy S8+ feels compact yet expansive in the hand, measuring 73.4 mm wide, 159.5 mm tall and just 8.1 mm thick while weighing a modest 173 grams. Its front is dominated by a 6.22‑inch AM‑OLED panel that delivers vivid colours and deep blacks, with a sharp 1440 x 2880 pixel resolution that makes images and text look crisp and detailed.
Inside, the device is equipped with 6 GiB of RAM to keep apps running smoothly, powered by a 3500 mAh battery that aims to last through a typical day of use. It ships with a Korean‑language version of Android, and the handset supports a single SIM card, keeping connectivity straightforward.
The SM‑G955W/W8 model keeps the same 6.22‑inch AM‑OLED panel and 3500 mAh battery as the Galaxy S8+, but its screen stretches to a taller 1440 × 2960 resolution instead of the base 1440 × 2880. It ships with Google Android 7.0 (Nougat) rather than the Korean‑language Android found on the base unit, and its memory is trimmed to 4 GiB of RAM compared with the base’s 6 GiB. The chassis is marginally shorter at 159.1 mm tall (width and thickness unchanged), while weight remains 173 grams and it retains a single‑SIM tray.
Compared with the other S8+ variants listed, this Canadian‑market SM‑G955W/W8 is the only one that combines the 1440 × 2960 panel with 4 GiB RAM and a stock Android 7.0 build; most alternatives either keep the original 1440 × 2880 resolution, offer dual‑SIM Duos configurations, or pair 4 GiB RAM with different carrier‑specific firmware and storage options. Its single‑SIM design also sets it apart from the numerous Duos models that appear in the list.
