Samsung May Push The Envelope On Galaxy S9’s Screen-To-Body Ratio

The screen-to-body ratio is a measure of the surface that the screen takes up in comparison to the entire device. Samsung doesn’t really highlight the ratios of its flagship smartphones but some Chinese OEMs do. This had led to interest in the general public about this metric. According to a new report, Samsung is likely going to push the envelope on the Galaxy S9’s screen-to-body ratio. It may be higher than we’ve seen on any Samsung handset in the past.

The report claims that the Galaxy S9’s screen-to-body ratio might be as high as 90 percent. If that’s true, it would be almost six percent higher than that of the Galaxy S8+.

Samsung hasn’t really said precisely what the Galaxy S8’s screen-to-body ratio is. However, data in the public domain suggests that it’s around 84 percent.

It’s claimed that the Galaxy S8’s bottom bezel will be nearly non-existent on the Galaxy S9 as Samsung stretches out the Infinity Display even further. The top bezel is said to be narrower on the new handset as well.

Whether or not that’s actually going to be the case remains to be seen. We’re likely going to hear multiple conflicting reports about the Galaxy S9 before Samsung unveils the handset. It was recently reported that Samsung might unveil the Galaxy S9 at CES 2018 in January.
