Although the Samsung Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ faced a few problems since their launch and Bixby still has to get support for a pretty long list of languages, these flagships have just been recognized as the best ones to get at this time.
Earlier today, Samsung announced that the Galaxy S8/S8+ earned the "Best Smartphone" label at the 2017 Asia Mobile Awards. This event takes place each year "to recognize game-changing mobile innovations at Asia’s largest mobile event, Mobile World Congress Shanghai." This year's Asia Mobile Awards happened at the DaGuan Theatre in Pudong, Shanghai.
According to Samsung's news article on this topic, the award was granted to the Galaxy S8/S8+ flagship "based on a wide array of criteria ranging from physical design and UX (user experience) to performance, simplicity of use, value for money and sheer innovation." Combined with strong sales all over the world, this suggests that Samsung Mobile might soon report one of its best quarters ever.
