Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus vs Samsung Galaxy S8

Published on Mar 29, 2017

Finally we've had some hands on time with Samsung's brand new Galaxy S8, a phone with an all new, near bezel-less, screen and design.

If you've watched our hands on with the S8, you'll see that there are new features and specs the phone has to offer. But how does the S8 Plus compare?
 

Samsung Galaxy S8 hands on review

Published on Mar 29, 2017

We've got hands on with the new Samsung Galaxy S8 and its larger plus model, and while it might have lost the edge from its name, it's still very much visible in the design. Here is our hands on review.

The amount of S8 leaks we've seen are staggering, both in their volume and accuracy, but they don't tell the whole story about a phone that's certain to be at the top (or very near the summit) of most 'best phone' lists this year.

The Infinity Display is the headline feature of this handset – while it's not all screen, it's as close as can be. Samsung has also been very intelligent in the way it's got around the loss of the front-facing home screen button, managing to make the handset usable without requiring the mechanical key on the front of the Galaxy S8.

That doesn't mean it's a perfect phone though. The lack of significant camera upgrades and the user interface will irk some, but that shouldn't detract from what is a hugely impressive effort from Samsung.
 

Samsung Galaxy S8 | Hands-On

Published on Mar 29, 2017

I can't overstate how gorgeous the S8 and S8 Plus are. The former packs one of Samsung's beautiful 5.8-inch "infinity displays" -- that's a Super AMOLED screen that wraps around the phone's curved front to the point where it almost touches the metal band running around the device. As the name implies, the S8 Plus has a larger display; we're talking 6.2 inches from one diagonal corner to another. Both run at what Samsung calls Quad HD+ resolution, otherwise known as 2,960 x 1,440, since these screens are longer than normal.

As you might have already known, the US Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus will feature one of Qualcomm's octa-core Snapdragon 835 chipsets, along with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage. Versions available elsewhere will have one of Samsung's octa-core Exynos chips in lieu of Qualcomm's stuff, which will be a bummer for some people and old news for others. Both devices also have 12-megapixel, dualpixel rear cameras with an f/1.7 aperture, which, yes, are very similar to last year's S7 cameras. That said, Samsung has apparently changed the way photos are processed, which should make for slightly better colors and clarity throughout.

Biometric issues aside, the Galaxy S8 is a brilliant phone

Apart from a very high price and biometric issues, the Galaxy S8 in a triumphant mix of tech and design

The Samsung Galaxy S8 is a powerful phone with a design that's unlike anything most phone buyers will have seen before – and it's stunning.

But it's also one of the most expensive devices out there right now, and packs in a few questionable design decisions to accommodate that large display – essentially, Samsung has rolled the dice to create something that looks truly breathtaking and innovative.

The Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus are Samsung's redemption moment, the first major phones from the company since its disastrous Note 7 last fall. With that much pressure on their shoulders, the pair of S8s have to be good, and good they are. In fact, these phones are great, and easily the best phones released so far this year.
