Samsung definitely needed to do something big with the S8 and the larger-screened S8+. They've not had the best time of it recently, and there's been widespread coverage of the infamous exploding battery issue. The S8 needed to be good, and indeed, it is.

I chose to buy an S8 because it is described by Which as being just as good as an S9 and at present at an advantageous price. I feel this is a good route into learning how to set up and use a high-end smart phone without having to pay the full price. So far I am very satisfied with this device.

Samsung's flagship offering just got launched recently, the Samsung Galaxy S8 is instantly noticeable by its gorgeous infinity display. It is the successor to the last year's model Galaxy S7 and now the S8 is completely changed by its looks.

Average Battery Life; Bixby isn't mature enough; Fingerprint Scanner Placement is Awkward; Slippery; May Fall From Wet Hands

it come earlier from the day it suppose to come,also the box of the phone was shield and everything was new BUT the phone is not from the UK and i can not register the phone for the warranty at Samsung UK...probably it is from Italy ,that is why i put three stars.

Easy to use, great Samsung owned apps like S Health; Light weight, great screen resolution with a fast processor

Battery life could be better; I advise using one of the power saving modes to get the most out of the battery

Without a doubt, this is an excellent device in terms of performance, camera and battery life. But two things are annoying placement of fingerprint sensor and dud Bixby.

Excellent screen; beautiful design; performance; camera

Awkward fingerprint sensor placement; dud Bixby

Samsung launched the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ smartphones in India last month starting at Rs. 57,900. As the name indicates, the S8 is the eighth smartphone in the ‘Galaxy S' series, which is a major improvement when it comes to the design and display compared to Galaxy S6 and S7 series of...

Brilliant display; Gorgeous and compact body; Samsung's new UX is more polished; Good performance

Fingerprint sensor placement makes it useless; Not a huge improvement in camera; Battery life is not impressive

I'm guessing that almost every review of the Samsung Galaxy S8 or S8+ starts out with some mention of last year's recall of the Note 7 due to battery issues that led to the spontaneous combustion of some phones. You would think that all that drama and bad press would have hurt Samsung's reputation.

Gorgeous display; Wireless charging; Good battery life; microSD card slot

Expensive; Fingerprint sensor location; Only one camera on the back; Downward firing speaker

Samsung literally went big this year with the Galaxy S8 , sporting a 5.8-inch display and the Galaxy S8+ going as high as 6.2 inches. This is an unprecedented move and something that we have not seen before.

* Beautiful design; * Gorgeous Infinity Display; * Impressive Performance; * Great camera; * Great battery life; * Large storage capacity; * Iris scanner

* More expensive

Phone came in as expected. Also to note that this is a international phone. So some text shown on my phone is in Spanish, not all but some. I don't mind it since it's not that crucial since you can change the language that you desire. I'm happy with my phone.
