The Samsung Galaxy S8 and the S8 Edge are rumored come with 4K Ultra HD display, which will bring the Galaxy visual experience to a whole new exciting level.

The predecessor of the smartphones namely the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge are already hailed the best in the display department with their beautiful OLED displays.

Samsung is kicking things up a notch by using a 4K Ultra HD display on the Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 Edge. Samsung showed off a prototype of its innovation during the Display Week Conference.

The display measured 5.5 inches and boasted a jaw-dropping 3840 x 2160 pixel resolution and 806ppi pixel density. It was also designed to cater to Virtual Reality (VR) with Android N Daydream VR support in tow.

While it is yet to be confirmed if the Samsung Galaxy S8 and the S8 Edge will be the first to don the powerful new display, Forbes believes it is highly likely.
