The editors didn't like
Internal speaker isn't great
Bixby isn't fully realised
Rear fingerprint scanner takes a backseat to iris scanning
Bixby button feels like it could be doing something else
Undeniably expensive
Doesn't offer much more than regular S8
Expensive
Rear fingerprint reader placement
Bixby needs to differentiate
Face recognition hit and miss
Your most expensive phone yet
Flawed fingerprint sensor
Hello
Bixby? Hello
You'll have to reach higher to get to the fingerprint sensor on the back -- a straight day of this gets annoying
UI has some missing bits and gimmicks
Fingerprint scanner placement not left-hand friendly
Lacks higher-tier onboard storage (128GB) model
Gorgeous curved glass design can be tricky to hold and may be fragile - a case is recommended

Size won't be for everyone, Fingerprint sensor slightly awkwardly placed, RM400 more than the already excellent S8
To answer my own question I asked at the start of this preview: yes, bigger is better - even if there's not that much differentiation in the S8+'s case.It's all thanks to that gorgeous display. This plus-sized beauty's got all the right curves for the rig...

The Galaxy S8+ is without a doubt a stellar piece of work by Samsung, there is really nothing much to complain about other than its exorbitant price tag, but it is prudent to note that phablets such as the S8+ are an acquired taste, so if you are someone...
