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
The Galaxy S8 has a higher specification than the LG G6 in terms of core hardware, but the pair are reasonably fairly matched in terms of the display, design and key features. It's impossible to make a choice between the two without knowing for certain th...
The Galaxy S7 is a fantastic phone at a great price, and it is still one of the very best Android phones you can buy. Meanwhile the Galaxy S8 is comparatively expensive, but features the latest tech and totally looks the part. Key changes include faster p...

The S8 is a stunning device with a magnificent screen; it seems fast in use, too. But until we've had some serious hands-time in our testing lab, it's too early to give our verdict. Check back for a full review once we've put Samsung's next flagship smart...
The Samsung Galaxy S8 is a new beginning for flagship phones. It's a gorgeous sliver of tech that utilises its power for extending the experience beyond the 5.8-inch display, thanks to DeX. It crams a huge screen into a compact body, without sacrificin...
The Samsung Galaxy S8 is undoubtedly a triumph and could be jus the comeback phone that the company needed following last year's dramatic Note 7 recall. Sure, it's similar to the LG G6 with its all-screen front, but the Galaxy S8 feels much more high-e...
Our initial impression of the Galaxy S8 is very positive indeed. Samsung has taken the best phone around and made it even better with an impressive screen and design. It ticks a shed load of boxes but check back for a full review soon when we have tested...
Stunning build and design, Large, bright screen, Snappy performance, Great camera,
Full Bixby not yet available, Fingerprint scanner poorly positioned, Colour palette could be better, Sound could be more transparent,
The Galaxy S8 is just the response Samsung was looking to deliver to its critics. A stunning phone inside and out, it takes all that was good about the S7 family and builds on it, with superb results.It's not perfect - battery life doesn't take the leap f...
2017 is a decisive year for the South Korean tech firm. After an explosion-filled 2016, Samsung has a lot to prove, but the S8 looks to be the leg up the company is desperately searching for.The S8 may see only marginal improvements over last year's S7, b...
The S8 hasn't even launched yet, and already we're pretty sure it's going to be the phone to beat in 2017. From the screen to the hardware to the camera, everything we know from the leaks and previous phones - the jumps in quality from the S5 to S6 to S7...
