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
Swipe left from the main screen to access Bixby Home which details the latest news

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: Apple proudly says that the the iPhone is the most popular camera in the world. But is it the best? We put the iPhone 7 Plus to the test against the newest flagship from Samsung, the Galaxy S8. Watch the video above to see the photos side-by-side and to...
Abstract: A month ago Samsung introduced its latest smartphone in the Galaxy line of devices, the Galaxy S8. A device we considered to be the trend setter for the 2017. So how do we feel about the device after a full month use. Does the display still whoa us? How g...
Even though our take on the S8 is a bit on the late side, I think it is safe to say that Samsung has nothing to be worried about. I'm referring to their stellar pre-order sales before their official launch along w/ being well-received by the public. Is it...

So, after a month, do I regret spending $750 on a Galaxy S8? Heck, no. But there's always room for improvement, especially in the S8's lackluster speaker and overdue features like Bixby voice. And while the S8's camera still impresses with stunning photos...
Abstract: The Galaxy S8 seems all it hopes to be and I couldn't wait to try it. It is a matter of efficiency and access for me. I can find positive use with most smartphones, but tend to keep coming back to Samsung. So this device a quite a welcome arrival. The sle...

As I have alluded to throughout this review, a few devices ago I owned a Samsung phone. That experience soured me on Samsung as it was probably close to their height of their overwhelming Touchwiz interface and I was disappointed in their ongoing support...

Abstract: When it comes to buying a new phone, it's safe to say that reviews play a large part. Without early reviews – delivered just after a phone is announced or before it goes on sale – it's difficult to judge whether a phone is truly worth pre-ordering or buyi...
Modern 2017 flagship design (Phablet that feels small), Great build quality, Software optimized for one handed use, One of the best cameras of 2017, Good audio performance through headphones, IP68 water and dust resistant, Best specs on a flagship so far
Third-party software needs to scale up to 18.5:9, Lacks stereo speakers, Battery life is just ok, Where is Android 7.1?, Some variants are fingerprint magnets, Hello Bixby is half baked and slow, Software tends to stutter, Fingerprint scanner placement m
To conclude our Galaxy S8 review: there is a lot of good to be said about the “New Galaxy,” as everyone calls it. Those of you that were left nostalgic by the beauty of the Note 7 will be happy to see even more beauty shown off here. There is a lot of gen...
