The 5.8in screen is packed into a superthin body. While this is not as wide as some other flagship smartphones
It's very comfortable to use

The editors didn't like
Expensive
Difficult to unlock
Battery isn't as good as S7
Bixby virtual assistant is of limited use
Awkward fingerprint sensor placement
Poor design for left-handed users
Awkward rear-facing fingerprint sensor
Rear fingerprint reader placement
Face recognition hit and miss
Bixby needs to differentiate
Irritating biometric unlocking
Very expensive at launch
Bixby pointless
Its awkwardly placed fingerprint reader leads to camera smears and longer unlock times
Which is aggravating when you use it to unlock your phone dozens of times a day
Small battery
Camera isn't much of an upgrade
Bixby needs works
Desbloqueo biométrico irritante
Muy caro en el lanzamiento
Bixby sin sentido
Ärsyttävät biometriset toiminnot
Kallis lähtöhinta
Bixby on turha ominaisuus
Fingerprint scanner is poorly placed
Iris and face recognition logins have limited success
Bixby button initially useless
Connectivity can cause issues with perfect playback/graphical functions
Some features hidden in menus
Full Bixby not yet available
Fingerprint scanner poorly positioned
Colour palette could be better
Sound could be more transparent
Battery life isn't quite as impressive as predecessor
Awfully placed fingerprint sensor
Bixby is a bit of a dud
Bixby is hardly useful
Poor speaker placement
$100 more expensive than S7
The price
Extremely lowlight camera performance in auto needs improving
Iris scanner is hopelessly fiddly
Bixby is incomplete and can't compete with Google Now and Assistant
Fingerprint sensor poorly located
Bixby is a work-in-progress
It's not cheap
Fixed battery
Only Android 7.0
No USBPD
Fingerprint scanner placement not ideal
Sadly
We'll have to wait for Bixby Voice the feature that would really set it apart from other Android phones. There's no official release date yet. This means features Samsung mentions like asking the phone to change settings
Abstract: Thanks to leaked press images of the Galaxy Note 8, we get to do a simple side-by-side comparison of it to the Galaxy S8+ and Galaxy S8 before the phone is ever announced. Now, I should point out that these images are by no means to scale and are simply...
At the end of our test we have a winner, but not by a long shot. The HTC U11 has pulled ahead in 4 tests, while the OnePlus 5 comes in second place with 3 wins. Samsung's Galaxy S8 and LG's G6 both tie for third with a single win each, and these results a...
While these phones may be separated by up to a couple of hundred dollars, they are a lot closer than you might think. However, that doesn't mean that the cheaper price tag of the OnePlus 5 hasn't resulted in any compromises, and you can definitely tell wh...
Abstract: For weeks, Samsung and its retail partners were selling the US unlocked Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ at a $100 discount. If you didn't pounce on it ( along with that crazy trade-in deal ), I hate to tell you that the price is back up. However, Best Buy has r...
Abstract: For a few years now, HTC has played second fiddle to the likes of Samsung, LG, and even some newer players in the flagship smartphone game. But if there was ever a time to root for the underdog, 2017 might be the year for it.We've certainly been impressed...
Modern and streamlined, the Galaxy S8 is shaping up to be one of Samsung's best-regarded phones yet. While users have complained about the location of the S8's fingerprint sensor, they have also acknowledged that there are other ways to secure the phone...

The Galaxy S8 is the Swiss Army knife of smartphones. Just because it does most things well, doesn't mean it's perfect. You can find other devices that offer better audio, better cameras, better displays, modularity, or even better pricing for similar spe...

The long expected Samsung Galaxy S8 is now a subject to great interest. It was back in 2016 that the South Koreans upped the ante really high with the announcement of Galaxy S7 and now they had the difficult task to jump even higher. The Galaxy S8 comes w...
Abstract: When Samsung announced that its S8 will come with a bezel-less screen, everyone was hooked on. After holding the phone in my hands and using it for almost a week on an overseas trip, I am more than impressed by the what Samsung has been able to achieve wi...

Expensive, Fingerprint sensor location, Only one camera on the back, Downward firing speaker
When other reviewers say that the Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+ are the best smartphones in the world, I have to agree. The S8 is a solid well-made phone that looks great. It's fast, has a very good camera and the screen is spectacular. Even though I'm not a...
