The Samsung Galaxy S8 has finally been announced and it looks to be an impressive phone. Let's talk about what it has got and what it has not?
It's got a big screen, plenty of power and a refined design among other things, but just how much different is it to the Samsung Galaxy S7,yes the previous one?
We've answered that below, with a comprehensive rundown of the similarities and differences between Samsung's new flagship and its old one across all the key categories, from design and screen, to camera, power, battery life and more. Find out if it would be a better idea to invest in a glistening new Galaxy S8 or would be better off sticking with the cheaper Galaxy S7?!
Well, here are the answers to all your questions-
Design: Boundaries Removed
The Infinity Display has an incredible end-to-end screen that spills over the phone’s sides, forming a completely smooth, continuous surface with no bumps or angles. It’s pure, pristine, uninterrupted glass. And it takes up the entire front of the phone, flowing seamlessly into the aluminum shell. The result is a beautifully curved, perfectly symmetrical, singular object.
Security: That's Foolproof
Prying eyes are not a problem when you have iris scanning on the Galaxy S8 and S8+. No two irises have the same pattern, not even yours, and they're nearly impossible to replicate. That means with iris scanning, your phone and its contents open to your eyes only. And when you need to unlock really fast, face recognition is a handy option. *The iris is the colored, ring-shaped part of your eye.
Performance :Faster, even in rain
You never really stop using your phone. That's why Galaxy S8 and S8+ are driven by the world's first 10nm processor. It's fast and powerful and increases battery efficiency. Plus, there's the ability to expand storage, and to work through rain and dust with IP68-rated performance.
Camera: Built for Every Moment
Capture life as it happens with the Galaxy S8 and S8+ cameras. The 12MP rear camera and the 8MP front camera are so accurate and fast that you won't miss a moment, day or night.
The color is one of the biggest decisions you need to make when choosing your new phone. Will you go for a more vibrant color, or is it a good time to make a more neutral choice? The Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus will be available in a wide variety of colors, whether you want something bold or or more bland by comparison. It is available in all these colors- Coral Blue, Maple Gold, Orchid Grey, Arctic Silver, Midnight Black.
The resolution of the S8’s screen has been upgraded too, with a 1,440 x 2,960 QHD+ resolution in place of the Samsung Galaxy S7’s 1,440 x 2,560 QHD option. Given the extra width over its predecessor, the S8’s screen isn't that much sharper, but it stands out in other ways, with a super-widescreen 18.5:9 aspect ratio similar to the LG G6 .
