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
Excellent screen, beautiful design, performance, camera
Awkward fingerprint sensor placement, dud Bixby
Without a doubt, this is an excellent device in terms of performance, camera and battery life. But two things are annoying placement of fingerprint sensor and dud Bixby.If you ask for the stunning device of the year 2017, then till date I would say its S...
A flagship killer's been apprehended, it appears. OnePlus dropped the moniker for the 5, but it has stuck in the minds of fans and the press alike, only it doesn't hold true as much as it used to.The thing is, earlier OnePlus phones could get away with om...
If you are in the market for a premium top-end smartphone, the S8 will impress you on its design front. Convincing iPhone loyalists to migrate towards Android is still a tough task especially with the new iPhone around the corner. The Indian market varian...
After having used the Galaxy S7 last year, I had a lot of expectations with the Galaxy S8, and sure, it did not disappoint me at all. Samsung has once set a new benchmark proving how a premium Android flagship smartphone should be like. Right from a sleek...
You've probably picked up on this, but we didn't award the G6 the victory in any area, not all on its own, that is. Does it really need to win to be a winner, though? We figure the combination of an attractive pricetag, two cameras, and balanced performan...
Abstract: Voting is now over, check out the results and the phone identities on the next page. We love ourselves some shootouts, hope you do too, as we have one in store for you. We're prepping a three-way clash between the LG G6, the Samsung Galaxy S8 and the Sony...
Overall, the Galaxy S8 is a very capable shooter in day light and low lighting conditions. The front-facing camera works well outdoors and indoors, only in scenarios where there is near negligible light, the quality goes for a toss. But it's not a big dea...
Abstract: The Samsung Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ ( review ) are perhaps some of the most high profile smartphones launched in a while. For Asia, Europe, Middle East, Africa, and India, specifications include an Exynos 8895 octa-core SoC, Mali-G71 MP20 GPU, and 4GB of...
The Samsung Galaxy S8 is a supermodel, but it does not come without its diva act.I loved the new design, but it does feel as accident prone as last year's glass body. The Infinity display is stunning, but it does eat away into your screen's real estat...
The Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+ are undoubtedly the best looking, all round smartphone available in the market right now. It might just be behind the Apple iPhone 7 Plus in terms of camera but in the Android space, the phones are second to none. Well go...
