[Poll Results!] Do rumors about Samsung only releasing an edge version of the Galaxy S8 surprise you?

It's increasingly being rumored these days that Samsung is only going to release an edge version of the Galaxy S8 next year. One might say that this is inevitable given that both the Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S7 saw the edge version outsell its flat counterpart by a significant margin. There were rumors this year that Samsung will launch a flat and edge version of the Galaxy Note 7 but it only came out with one which has a dual-edge curved display even though it's not called “Galaxy Note 7 edge.” So the signs are there and this might very well be the case with the Galaxy S8. Samsung may drop the “edge” moniker completely and only offer one version of the Galaxy S8 that has a curved display. So, are you surprised? Vote below and let us know what you think about this in the comments below.

Poll results: 50 percent of all voters believe that the inevitable is going to happen next year as Samsung will only release the edge model of the Galaxy S8 while 37 percent believe that Samsung should stick with the combination of flat and edge versions for its next flagship smartphone.
