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: Samsung's new Galaxy S8 and S8+ builds on its Galaxy foundations and adds some new, never seen before features, that sets it apart from all its Android competition.At today's media launch I spent quality time with both curvaceous models, explored Bixby, a...
I've been to enough phone launches over the years to know that the days of dramatic advances are long behind us, so I'm not too fussed that the Samsung Galaxy S8 looks to be a pretty minor upgrade on the S7.It will be slightly faster. The camera will, pro...
I would give this phone a 7.9/10. Mostly because while this phone is nice looking, powerful, and has the best screen around, it didn't feel very inspired otherwise. Still, if you watch movies on your phone, like gaming on the bus, and have some money to...

Very pretty, Very fast, Superb camera
Bixby virtual assistant is a joke, Average battery life
The Samsung Galaxy S8 costs $1,199 and the slightly-larger S8+ will cost $1,349. People ordering before April 27 (from a Samsung Electronics store) will get one of the new Samsung Gear VR headsets (and a $50 Oculus voucher) for free.The S8 is the last flagship pho...

Beautiful screen, Powerful and quick, Feels like the future
Expensive, Fingerprint scanner isn't great, Bixby is pointless
Whatever your reason for upgrading, this is the phone you want. It feels and looks like the future of smartphones. It not only looks, but acts the part as well. The negatives are inconsequential when considering the overall package. The Samsung Galaxy S8...
Beautiful design and display, Powerful processor and multitasking, Great camera performance
Big price tag, Doesn't make most of increased screen size
The Samsung Galaxy S8 is not cheap at R15 499. Nor was its predecessor, so this is the price you're going to have to pay for the best all-round flagship at the moment. If you look the S8 as an investment, then it features some of the best tech in every po...
A few things became abundantly clear in our testing of the phones' selfie video cameras. For one, as a general rule, the front cameras on current smartphones, flagship or otherwise, aren't as good as we'd like them to be. Not for video capture at least. A...
Abstract: 'Tis the season! Or rather, 'Twas the season, because the end of 2017 flew by us while we were putting the final touches on this buyer's guide. So, we are clearly a bit tardy for a holiday shopping guide but that was more or less intentional on our part...
Abstract: The Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ are among the best flagship smartphones launched this year. Samsung has done a really good job with these two – right from the edge-to-edge near bezel-less design, to top-of-the-line hardware and more. We reviewed both smartph...
