There might also be a Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus with a 6.2-inch bezel less display.

Samsung is aiming to ship 60 million units for the Galaxy S8 this year, according to a latest report. We will have to wait for Samsung to official release a teaser for the MWC 2017 to know if we will see the Galaxy S8 next month.
