The editors didn't like
Internal speaker isn't great
Bixby isn't fully realised
Rear fingerprint scanner takes a backseat to iris scanning

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
It's looking a lot like the S8 Plus is the Android phone of the year, and we're not even halfway through yet. There'll be some exciting flagships later in 2017 - we'll be interested to see if Apple's next iPhone can top it - but Samsung's high-end phones...

fixed battery, only Android 7.0, no USBPD, fingerprint scanner placement not great
There are two reasons to buy the Galaxy S8+ – an epic screen and solid battery life. Everything else is pretty much the same as the smaller S8, but it's more awkward to hold and carry.There's no doubt it's a great phone that's practically unrivalled on th...

Having said the immediately above, those few bullet-pointed gripes at the end of the UI section are just about my only dislikes with the Galaxy S8+, and they are minor, somewhat nitpicky I'll readily admit, and oh so easily looked past in practice when us...

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
Samsung waited a little later in 2017 to unleash its flagship phone - but it was well worth the wait.Exquisite design, a high-quality waterproof build, great camera, plus 3.5mm headphone socket for those decent AKG headphones just to kick off to list of p...
What you end up with is a fantastic smartphone in the Samsung Galaxy S8+, which has only a couple of flaws.The ultimate irony is that the area it excels in the most - that incredible design - is the area that it falls the shortest, owing to the awful plac...

The Galaxy S8 Plus is the Android phone you want if you like big and tall smartphones. It has a massive 6.2-inch display that doesn't make the actual dimensions of the device much bigger. Samsung's trick was to rid its phone of the physical home button an...

Lovers of big phones won't find a prettier device with a larger screen anywhere else, but you'll want to make sure it isn't too tall for you, and the fingerprint reader too hard to reach, before you commit...
The Samsung Galaxy S8+ is a refined design. The front-filling screen, stripped-back bezels and curved sides make it arguably the best-looking phone you can buy, and it has the internal hardware to keep it competitive.A camera that trades blows with the be...
