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

There is one thing that draws a clear line between the Galaxy S8 and the OnePlus 3T, and it's not the camera, the battery or the software: it's price.Put simply, the Galaxy S8 is the much more expensive phone! The full retail price of the S8 is set at $72...

Compared to other devices within its class, the S8 beats all competitors. Unfortunately, it's the comparison to much cheaper smartphones that diminish the S8's appeal. The ZTE Axon 7 (our review ZTE Axon 7 Review ZTE Axon 7 Review While most high-end phon...
Abstract: There is a lot to talk about with the Galaxy S8 from Samsung, a device that had more rumors and speculations than I care to count. Though a lot were more fact than fiction. But the device is finally here sporting a much larger display at 5.8-inches dual e...
Abstract: Samsung's latest flagship phones, the Galaxy S8 and the Galaxy S8 Plus, are two of the most unique looking phones currently on the market. We got our hands on both of these phones at Samsung's Unpacked 2017 event at the end of March, and now we bring you...

excellent screen, stylish design, fast SoC, very good GPS qualities, fast Wi-Fi, Gigabit LTE, decent call quality, solid sensor configuration, USB 3.1 with DP, HDMI, and OTG, good battery life, quick-charge and wireless charging, water and dust-resistant
though not much better than in the predecessor, no dual-SIM, fingerprint scanner hard to find via touch, SoC throttling during permanent load, warranty does not cover damage due to liquids
The first hands-on with the new Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus leaves us wanting more. Samsung has apparently improved the camera quality of this year's models considerably compared with the S7 (Edge). The casing's build, and the new Infinity panel's contrast, bri...
Abstract: Both versions of the phone support similar "check box" features but we wanted to address a few important features. The Samsung Galaxy S8 is the second phone to have iris unlocking, and it works much better than we expected.The first phone to support iris...
Abstract: Last year, Samsung came agonizingly close to making the perfect smartphone. We called the Galaxy S7 “one of the most complete mobile packages we'd ever seen.” The Galaxy Note 7 was even better (and, at least temporarily, our favorite phone of 2016).But, a...

I've seen plenty of people say they don't like the Galaxy S8. Why is that? Is it just because they're haters of everything Samsung? I mean, even if you're a Samsung hater, it's hard to dislike the Galaxy S8, at least in my view. It's one of the more beaut...
Exquisite design, amazing curved display, blazing fast performance, one of the best rear cameras ever made,
Bixby not fully implemented as yet, not cheap, Bixby button not reconfigurable,
Offering innovative design, impressive performance and one of the most powerful cameras yet mounted on a smartphone, the S8 shows that Samsung is still at the top of their game. If cash is no object, this is one of the best phones that you can currently...
