The iPhone 7 Plus design, in its third year, is getting a bit long in the tooth, and it shows next to that flashy bezel-buster, the Galaxy S8+, and all of its curves. The S8+ doesn't really offer more screen real estate, though, and letterboxes apps and v...

The best displays I've ever seen on a smartphone. They're bright, they're beautiful, they have excellent viewing angles, and tiny little bezels. You get a ton of screen in a remarkably compact package, I only tested the S8in depth, but the battery life on
I actively hate the fingerprint scanner on the S8. It may be better on the standard S8. But yeah, it's bad, The S8 and S8ship with Android 7.0, and I've seen exactly nothing from Samsung indicating they plan to change their attitude about timely Android p
The Galaxy S8 and S8+ are great smartphones, I have no doubt of this. Are they great smartphones for everyone? That's a question that, as an Android enthusiast myself, I have a harder time sounding decisive answering. I really like the Infinity Display. I...
Gorgeous AMOLED display that seems to curve over into the chassis, Performance that's substantial enough for virtual reality, Fast, responsive camera, Water resistance, Extra goodies you won't find on other phones, like Samsung Pay
Rear fingerprint sensor is oddly placed, Face biometrics are finicky to set up and use, Bixby, Samsung's voice assistant, is barely there, Fingerprints. Everywhere. Constantly
Bigger, heavier, and more expensive than the Galaxy S8
The Samsung Galaxy S8+ is a larger version of the excellent Galaxy S8, trading a slightly bigger battery for a form factor that isn't as easy to use in one hand...

You'll have to reach higher to get to the fingerprint sensor on the back -- a straight day of this gets annoying
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...
Amazing, brilliant, eye-popping display, An incredible design that makes a 6.2-inch screen feel like a 5.7-inch one, Camera offers nice refinements over the S7, especially for selfies
Fingerprint sensor is in a horrible location, Bixby isn't very useful or compelling
With a gorgeous 6.2-inch display and a design that needs to be seen, the Galaxy S8+ truly changes the smartphone conversation...

Abstract: Samsung has finally beat Apple at its own game. While the Galaxy S has been regarded for years as the best Android phone money can buy (at least until the Pixel came around), it's always existed in the iPhone's lengthy shadow. Even with a higher market s...

Abstract: Buzz for Samsung 's highly anticipated "next Galaxy" devices, the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+, has reached a fevered pitch, and for good reason. When it comes to smartphone market share percentages, there's Samsung and Apple, and then there's everyone else...
