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

This review wasn't meant to be an exhaustive take on what makes the Samsung Galaxy S8 right for you. We didn't touch on the camera (which remains mostly unchanged from last year), the bump in storage to 64GB from 32GB, the unbelievably quick charging time...

Abstract: There's been a lot of talk this year about bezel-less displays on smartphones. Samsung has now delivered the best – and most beautiful – example of how this can makes things better for the consumer, with the Galaxy S8 phones and their not-so-subtly-brande...
Sexy design, Loaded set of hardware and software features, Smooth performance and decent battery life, Excellent camera quality
Slippery, Seems fragile, Fingerprint scanner is iffy, Speaker quality could've been better, Photos by Raj Rout
The Samsung Galaxy S8+, in my opinion, is a very compelling option if you're in the market for a premium smartphone. The issues I mentioned earlier are niggles at best, and the fact is that the S8+ does pack in a lot for its asking price. The only rival t...
Abstract: Samsung's latest flagship phones, the Galaxy S8 and the Galaxy S8 Plus, are two of the most unique looking phones currently on the market. We got our hands on both of these phones at Samsung's Unpacked 2017 event at the end of March, and now we bring you...

I've seen plenty of people say they don't like the Galaxy S8. Why is that? Is it just because they're haters of everything Samsung? I mean, even if you're a Samsung hater, it's hard to dislike the Galaxy S8, at least in my view. It's one of the more beaut...
The best mobile display ever, Dualedge screen for both sizes, Efficient and gorgeous design, IP68 water and dust resistant, Fantastic new software buttons, Great battery life, Ultra fast charging and wireless charging, Every software feature you can think
Inconsistent camera image quality in daylight (particularly zoom detail)
At this point, is there a situation where the Samsung Galaxy S8 or S8+ shouldn't be your next smartphone? Folks who take more photos during the day, or might need a smaller phone might consider the LG G6 or Google Pixel. Those wanting the absolute latest...
Incredible bezelless screen, Liberating 64 GB of storage microSD, Slightly better battery life, Very good price, Good battery life, Still a top performer
It's time for a wrap-up: with every aspect of the S8+ and S7 Edge compared and thoroughly examined, is it worth getting the S8+?If you don't care about price, it's a resounding yes for us. The bezel-less screen is the big feature and it looks futuristic...

Incredible fit and finish, Samsung's interface feels more polished, Comfortable to hold, Strong performance
Bixby isn't ready for prime time, Cameras aren't hugely improved, Fingerprint sensor placement is weird
All of the S8's accolades apply to the S8 Plus as well: It's a stellar performer that aptly blends beauty and horsepower. Its bigger body, however, means Samsung was able to squeeze a larger battery inside. Couple that with a surprisingly comfortable, nar...

great display, nice design, fast SoC, very good GPS performance, fast Wi-Fi, Gigabit LTE, good voice quality, comprehensive sensor equipment, USB 3.1 with DP, HDMI, and OTG, long battery runtime, Quick-charge and wireless charging, water and dust-proof,
…but unfortunately not much improved over the predecessor, no dual-SIM, could support more LTE bands, bad position of the fingerprint scanner, SoC throttling under sustained workloads, warranty does not cover water damage
The connectivity of the Galaxy S8 Plus does not deserve any criticism, either. The voice quality is good, and you get very fast Wi-Fi as well as Gigabit LTE. The latter could cover more frequencies though, and you might get problems if you travel a lot in...
