The fingerprint scanner is in a silly place, the Bixby digital assistant feels underdeveloped and it isn't cheap, otherwise the Samsung Galaxy S8 is close to perfection. It's fast, has a fantastic camera, an outstanding 5.8in screen and a beautiful, easy-to-hold design.

The Samsung Galaxy S8 is definitely the best looking smartphone in the market today. It's fast and has a good camera too, but those are only incremental updates over its predecessor. Buy it if you want a phone that you can show off.

Compact; Beautiful design; Great display; Waterproof; Fast

After a long, twisted and explosive affair with its Galaxy Note 7 , Samsung is back in the flagship smartphone scene with its Galaxy S8. The smartphone was announced in India on 19 April at a price tag of Rs 57,900 with pre-orders beginning the same day, while the device goes on sale in stores and...

When it comes to smartphones with best cameras, the Samsung Galaxy S7 and the Galaxy S7 edge have proven to be the ultimate best out there. With this year's Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ , the hopes are way too high.

The Samsung Galaxy S8 is finally here after months of leaks and rumors. Samsung's current flagship is undoubtedly the best smartphones they have made. From its design and features, it goes to show that the Korean company isn't backing down despite a disastrous 2016.

Excellent display; Great performance; Camera is top notch; Slim and lightweight

Glossy design is fragile and a fingerprint magnet; Rear mounted fingerprint sensor placement is awkward; Bixby is a bore

That's the first thing Samsung's product manager said to me before introducing the company's new flagship Galaxy S8 last month. He's not wrong: the modern concept of the smartphone has been around for a decade now, and the differences between devices are exceedingly incremental.

Gorgeous design; Meticulous fit and finish; Great camera; Big screen; but not a big phone; Gorgeous design; Meticulous fit and finish; Great camera; Enormous; stunning display

Annoying preinstalled apps; Atrocious fingerprint scanner placement; Merely average battery life; Bixby is useless; Annoying preinstalled apps; Atrocious fingerprint scanner placement; Bixby is useless; Larger size can be cumbersome

The Samsung Galaxy S8 is a landmark moment for the smartphone. In making the seemingly simple decision to stretch the screen, Samsung has created a handset which finally breaks the smartphone mould and ends years of design stagnation.

CNET contributor Jessica Dolcort or her cohorts engage in stacking the user commentary. She/they did it on their initial Note 7 review, and she/they do it again here on the S8/+ review burying vocal negative user reviews about the very real bugginess of the current Samsung Galaxy flagship.

Galaxy familiarity and improvement evolution

Constant Arbitrary Rebooting (at least 4 times per week)

Received the phone and everything works as it should! Absolutely love the phone and nothing negative to report as of now. Only thing I suggest is buying a decent case. The phone itself is quite slippery so even just a slim case that adds some traction is well worth the money

Great choice as compared with Galaxy S9. Only camera is slightly inferior, rather than that phones are almost identical in performance and look. The only disappointing so is the position of the fingerprint sensor. However, S9 is not much better either.
