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
If Samsung gets the price right, it can pretty much hit a homerun with the Galaxy S8. It's a great mix of power and design, with the screen on the front rightly being the headline feature of this phone – the new display on the Samsung Galaxy S8 is the mos...

Apple's iPhone 7 is an excellent device, but it's just no match for the Samsung Galaxy S8. With a gorgeous design, a stunning display and more features than you can shake a stick at, Samsung has finally claimed its place as the best smartphone on the m...
Similar on price and performance, the iPhone 7 and Galaxy S8 are both good choices for your next phone. The iPhone is smaller and lighter, but the S8 packs a much larger, higher resolution screen into a body that's really not much larger or heavier. It su...

The Galaxy S8 is without a doubt the most attractive Galaxy flagship yet. The new design is sleek, streamlined and modern – a real break with the previous designs – and the phone's operation is smooth, fast and hiccup free.That said, it's not flawless. Sa...
These phones run close on features, performance, battery life, price and everything in between.If you want bleeding edge design, you should get the Galaxy S8. The Infinity edge display is one of the best displays on a smartphone ever, and the near bezel-l...

Yes, if you're in need of an upgrade and you want the best Android money can buy.From a performance standpoint, the Galaxy S8 is undoubtedly the best Android smartphone in the game, but that doesn't necessarily mean you should plunk down nearly $800 for o...

Abstract: With the exploding Note 7 battery fiasco, Samsung inadvertently did something that's increasingly difficult these days: It made smartphones interesting for a flickering moment. Super interesting in fact. Besides the intrigue of the mournful saga of Note 7...
