I have an S4 and am wanting to upgrade to a newer AW model, primarily for the slightly bigger size, so S7 or S8, and am wondering if there’s a drastic size difference between the Watch faces.

For reference,my S4 SS is size 40mm and for the bigger S7 or S8 would get the 41mm size.

Specifically, I use the Infograph face and also the typograph face that shows all 12 numbers and looks as much as a real regular classical watch.

Thank you!

Edit: I know I mentioned Typograph face but I suppose I use the California Face even more so am wondering.

I no longer have my S4 so can't post comparison pics. And I went from S4 to S6 to S8, so the increase in size has been gradual. Still, I don't think the size difference among the three are *that* significant. I mean, there is a difference, but not a "drastic" difference. But I'm finding that the S8 screen is clearer and brighter than the S6, and coming from the S4, that difference may feel even greater. To me, that's the more significant improvement than screen size.
 
Yep I agree. I went from S4 to S8 this year and the size difference is hardly noticeable.
 
There is a much bigger difference between the 40 and 41 screen size, compared to 44 vs 45 screen size.

The screen of the 41 is almost as big as the screen of the 44. Basically a big screen in a small case
