Expensive
Rear fingerprint reader placement

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

Your most expensive phone yet, Flawed fingerprint sensor, Hello, Bixby? Hello
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...
Positively gorgeous, More of that beautiful display, The best smartphone performance so far
Doesn't offer much more than regular S8, Expensive
The Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus is very much a five-star handset. It's big, bold and resoundingly beautiful, but the thing that holds it back? There's still that regular-sized S8 to contend with.That's the sticking point and the main reason I've knocked a star...
The Galaxy S8 Plus is £90 more expensive than its smaller brother, thanks to a slightly larger screen and a higher-capacity battery. You can expect the two to roughly cancel each other out in terms of runtime, so choose the Plus over the standard model on...

The Samsung Galaxy S8+ is a demonstration that Samsung isn't standing still with its smartphones. There's no sense of playing it safe, instead embracing a push in new directions. The S8 show the biggest rethinking of device interaction that we've seen in...
As with the regular Galaxy S8, we're really impressed by the Galaxy S8 Plus. Samsung has done a great job of making last year's models even better. However our initial thought is that, with both offering the infinity edge screen, there's not much reason t...
Stunning design is unbeatable by any other phone right now, Incredible performance that comes into its own with DeX Station, Camera quality among the best you'll find in in a phone
Size won't be for everyone, Fingerprint sensor slightly awkwardly placed, £100 more than the already excellent S8

Bixby remains useless, Generally bad fingerprint scanner
Samsung Galaxy S8+ – Battery Life Aside from the overall size, and of course price, the biggest difference between the two Galaxy S8 flagships are their batteries. However, I've found they both last about the same amount of time, so don't pick up the S8+...
