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

Gorgeous design, One of the best displays, Fluid performance, Great camera, Decent speakers, AKG earphones are good
Slippery build, Weird placement of fingerprint scanner, Face Recognition is inconsistent, Average battery performance, Bixby is useless, as of now

Bixby virtual assistant is a joke, Average battery life
Samsung shovels in the features (as usual) but at least the important ones are good. Very good. It's not cheap but it excels where it matters and that camera is outstanding. It's the best phone you can buy...

Samsung, you have done it again and produced a galactic overachiever. As a 2017 flagship, its easily 10 out of 10 in meeting or beating every paradigm that iTWire uses to objectively review and assess smartphones and you have added in Bixby and DeX as pot...
The fingerprint scanner is in a silly place, the Bixby digital assistant feels underdeveloped and it isn't cheap, otherwise the Samsung Galaxy S8 is close to perfection. It's fast, has a fantastic camera, an outstanding 5.8in screen and a beautiful, easy-...
