After Galaxy S8’s press conference by now, you must have decided to buy this beast unveiled by Samsung. Among all the features and specs, which make Samsung Galaxy S8/S8 Plus worthy of buying, there is one feature for which people are longing for since the rumors started surfacing on the internet. That feature is full WQHD+ resolution, WQHD+ is actually QHD+ with a wide aspect ratio of 16:9. However, there is a small twist for all the potential Samsung Galaxy S8/S8 Plus buyers. Samsung Galaxy S8/S8 Plus will have FullHD+ Resolution out of the box instead of much awaited WQHD+ resolution. But it’s not much of an issue since you can crank up resolution all the way up to WQHD+.
The same issue was faced by Galaxy S7 users when they received Android 7.0 Nougat update. After Nougat update S7 user’s resolution was turned down to 1080 x 1920px resolution. Again it was a very simple fix. Therefore, if you want to change your Galaxy S8 / S8 Plus to QWHD resolution than follow below guide.
How to Change Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus Resolution to WQHD+ 1440 x 2960
- First of all, Open the settings of your Galaxy S8 or S8 Plus.

Keep one thing in mind, high resolution will eat up your device battery faster. So, if you are a battery conscious person then it might not be a bad idea to sacrifice the resolution for better battery timing. Since many think that such higher resolutions are not required and are just a marketing stunt by Mobile Manufacturers.
