Reviews for the Samsung Galaxy S8
Smaller and fine-spun. Samsung's successor of the successful Galaxy S7 immediately catches the eye with its new design language: narrower edges and more screen. The Galaxy S8 is also a slightly more balanced product than its sister model, and its price is even lower.
Update: Additional reference values for the Snapdragon 835 powered S8 (SM-G950U) added.

The Galaxy Tab S8 is still a very good tablet. The 11in display is the ideal size – big enough to work on, small enough to use in one hand – and specs are strong despite the affordable price. I wish the screen was OLED, and Android still isn’t perfect for tablets, but there’s not much else to complain about.

At the time of writing (January 2019), the Samsung Galaxy S8 is an almost two-year-old device—and in mobile technology terms, that makes it pretty much an ancient smartphone. However, while the S8’s front camera cannot quite keep up with the latest high-end smartphones, it still delivers very solid results, with mostly good exposures and a very good balance between noise reduction and detail preservation in still image mode. Selfie videos are pretty good, too, with the exception of a slightly ineffective stabilization system that can result in distortion effects. Overall, the Galaxy S8 is still an attractive option for the budding selfie shooter, despite its age.

It’s clear that, with the Galaxy S8 and S8+, Samsung set out to create more than a phone. It’s trying to build a more Apple-like ecosystem, with devices ranging from the Gear VR and the DeX dock to the new Samsung Connect app for controlling smart home gear and the Bixby assistant. It’s also evident that Samsung hasn’t yet reached that goal, as Bixby’s voice features can be hit or miss.

The Samsung Galaxy S8 is a phone that should be one of the very first you look at when deciding which new phone you buy. The large, bezel-less display is truly iconic and beautiful, and the screen quality excellent. The fingerprint scanner being placed on the back of the phone is a poor decision from Samsung, as well as the iris scanner / facial recognition not working anywhere near well enough to be a real consideration. However, these aren’t deal breakers, and the improved battery life and tweaked camera will be among the best you’ll find on a top-end flagship. The Galaxy S8 is an expensive phone - have no doubts about that - but it’s one that we consider to be well worth the investment.

The Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus continue Samsung’s recent penchant of combining outstanding smartphone design with an excellent display to create an all-around fantastic experience. The switch to the taller display has allowed Samsung to cram even more screen real estate into its new smartphones and in doing so, the company is setting the new standard for big-screen devices. Think back to what a big screen phone meant a couple of years ago and compare it to the Galaxy S8 and it’s clear that the future is much brighter, and we’re now closer than ever to phone that is all display.

Samsung has taken the best phone around and made it even better with an impressive Infinity screen and premium design. It ticks a shedload of boxes - as you'd expect from a flagship. It's the best phone of 2017 so far, but it is expensive and the biometrics are a let down.

If you’re upgrading from a previous Android or Galaxy phone, especially one that predates the S7, the Galaxy S8’s performance and battery life will not disappoint, no matter which SoC is used. Between these two, however, across all of the tests I've run, the S835 model is certainly the better of the two in terms of those metrics.

Samsung Galaxy S8 is a premium device with premium features plus it is the slim and sleek device with great features. The price is little expensive but Samsung users always spend money on their premium device so it is not a big deal. The battery feature is not impressive at all otherwise it is a giant device.

I’ve since moved onto the HTC U11 — which charmed me with great battery life and an even better camera — but more recently I’ve transitioned to the OnePlus 5 my daily driver. The lightning quick fingerprint sensor, insane amount of RAM, and stupid fast speed of the phone was enough to keep me. I still think the Galaxy S8 is a great phone, don’t get me wrong. But I do feel like there are better options out there for someone craving the absolute best performance from an Android device.

It’s an impressive achievement of design and engineering, but the quality isn’t surface deep. The entire experience of using the S8 is a rich one, despite the continued frustrations on the software side and the undeveloped virtual assistant, Bixby. But the market has proven for years that consumers are willing to overlook these shortcomings, as Samsung continues to dominate the industry alongside Apple.

Whether the S8 is better than the P10, well, that’s for another post. However, what I’m trying to say is that Samsung have some admirable rivals producing some equally well-built and well-engineered kit. The S8 is great, really great, with a range of features, a clear and fast camera plus a heap of power and brilliant design, but Samsung need to watch the competition.

The Galaxy S8 isn’t the first phone to offer a nearly bezel-free design, and yet it looks and feels more modern than the LG G6 (despite Samsung’s awkward fingerprint-sensor placement). And the S8 also runs circles around the Google Pixel’s design while offering faster overall performance and a better camera. The infinity display is simply gorgeous, and the Snapdragon 835 chip lives up to the hype both in speed and battery efficiency.

The Galaxy S8 is the Swiss Army knife of smartphones. Just because it does most things well, doesn’t mean it’s perfect. You can find other devices that offer better audio, better cameras, better displays, modularity, or even better pricing for similar spec’d hardware — but you’ll be hard pressed to find a smartphone that does so much with as much style and beauty as the Galaxy S8. For some, that’s all that really matters.

If you are in the market for a premium top-end smartphone, the S8 will impress you on its design front. Convincing iPhone loyalists to migrate towards Android is still a tough task especially with the new iPhone around the corner. The Indian market variant misses out on the Snapdragon 835 processor and the upcoming OnePlus 5 is highly anticipated to come with the same and that too at a much cheaper price!

It’s one of the best devices we’ve tested for autofocus, with smooth, fast ,and accurate performance in all lighting conditions. Shooting outdoors, white balance is very good, recording virtually no colorcasts or errors during our tests. The Samsung Galaxy S8 also records very low levels of noise in almost all lighting conditions, which should be appealing to photographers looking to record portraits with smooth skin tones. The Samsung Galaxy S8’s main weakness for stills is linked to its low noise, however, as its pictures have lower levels of sharpness compared to those of its main competitors.

The Galaxy S8+ and Galaxy S8 are going to set you back quite a bit when it comes to their price tags. They are firmly at the high end, but that goes with the high end device you will be getting.

That said, if you want the best of the best, then this is it – and the cost may not be as big a deal in a few months' time as it is today. We’re seeing a lot of Brexit-related tech price hikes, which may prove an unpleasant equaliser as time goes on and the LG G6 – the first rival out the blocks this year – is only £60 cheaper, for a far less convincing package.

Compared to other devices within its class, the S8 beats all competitors. Unfortunately, it’s the comparison to much cheaper smartphones that diminish the S8’s appeal. The ZTE Axon 7 (our review) and OnePlus 3T (OnePlus 3 review), already a year old, receive faster firmware updates, offer similar performance, and software features – for almost half the cost. Is the S8 twice the phone? No.

Even though this might not be the best phone, the Galaxy S8 is definitely the best smartphone from Samsung till date. It has a brilliant Infinite display that blends seamlessly into the body of the phone on all the side and the new Samsung UX complements it. Build quality of the phone is good and the performance is good as well without any lags. One of the main concerns is the placement of the fingerprint sensor on the back that makes it useless. Hope the upcoming Galaxy Note8 will use under-glass fingerprint sensor as rumored. Samsung could also have used a better camera sensor to compete with the Google Pixel, since the images taken on the S8 is not a huge improvement compared to Galaxy S7.

For Asia, Europe, Middle East, Africa, and India, specifications include an Exynos 8895 octa-core SoC, Mali-G71 MP20 GPU, and 4GB of RAM.

Most definitely yes. The Galaxy S8 is Samsung's best phone ever. In fact, it's safe to say, that it's the best Android phone in the market right now. I like the Galaxy S8 more because it's more handy and convenient. But, the 3,000mAh battery inside the Galaxy S8 does leave me asking for more. While most users would be able to get one full working day of usage out of it, heavy users will have to charge it at least twice every day. It charges like a speeding bullet though which is a big plus.

On the other hand, even how beautiful the Samsung Galaxy S8 is, the smartphone is still not the perfect build. In fact, the glass back part of the flagship device cracked on the very first drop, as tested by CNET. There are a series of torture test that leads to the damage of the phone: hip-height drop, eye-level drop and SUV height drop.

While we’ve only had the Galaxy S8 for a couple of days, our first impression is generally positive. It’s packed with features, TouchWiz is more refined, and it performed well in our first performance and battery life tests. A few issues are already apparent, however. Your face probably will not be smiling if you try to rely on it to unlock the phone, and the fingerprint sensor is located in just about the worst possible place. Samsung’s Bixby assistant also is not yet fully functional; fortunately, you can still use Google Assistant while you’re waiting for Bixby to mature.

The Samsung 2017 flagship, compact edition. Can the Galaxy S8 make even the die-hard fans of the big-screen experience consider converting? Think about it - you get so much screen in a phone that's practically as wide as a iPhone 7. Heck, the S8 is just 3mm wider than the Sony Xperia Z5 Compact, the last of the true Xperia Compacts.

This is the kind of usability nightmare that would have instantly killed our ability to recommend the phone, if it didn’t also include an iris scanner that is impressively fast, reliable, and secure. It’s improved a bit since its debut on the ill-fated Galaxy Note7, and while you do need to use your fingerprint for some apps, unlocking your phone and signing in to Samsung apps with your eyes is fast, secure, and reliable enough to greatly mitigate the disastrous fingerprint scanner placement.

But, they’ve been picking up steam again with aggressive advertising and marketing to put the point across that any battery issues are a thing of the past.

It works brilliantly too, thanks to Samsung’s new focus on user interface design. It’s powerful, easy to use and if you like your software as stock as possible, this is Samsung’s purest Touchwiz attempt yet.

Despite the stark new appearance and display aspect ratio, it is yet to be decided if this new, almost bezel-less design trend of the Galaxy S8 is going to lead to a meaningful change in how we experience the smartphone as a tool. Having the bezels reduced is perfectly OK when it comes to aesthetics, but introducing an extra tall display is a change of practical meaning. Throughout this review, we saw that the taller display could be a double-edged sword. On one hand, it does allow for more content to be shown without increasing the width of the phone, which is always good, but on the other, it can lead to usability discomfort in case the user interface and the content viewed are not optimized well enough for the extravagant aspect ratio. And in the case of the Galaxy S8, we can’t say that all has been executed flawlessly.

There had been suspicions that the fallout from the Note 7 battery fiasco might sour would-be Galaxy S8 buyers. Based on the degree of pre-launch excitement, however, those fears seem to have been unfounded. Whether it’s the safety promise implicit in Samsung’s new 8-point battery check, or simply a sign of our general appetite for the latest, greatest, and shiniest gadgets, it suggests neither apathy nor explosion anxiety will do much to dampen sales.

The Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus continue Samsung’s recent penchant of combining outstanding smartphone design with an excellent display to create an all-around fantastic experience. The switch to the taller display has allowed Samsung to cram even more screen real estate into its new smartphones and in doing so, the company is setting the new standard for big-screen devices.

Of course, Samsung had to do this, because for the past six months it’s been dealing with the biggest public crisis any electronics company has faced in modern times.

Samsung had to recall the phone twice and then was finally forced to cancel the Note 7 entirely.

For the most part, Samsung’s Galaxy S8 is a slam dunk. It’s brilliantly designed, brimming with horsepower and has a beautiful screen. That’s all most people will need, and our gripes are minor. It’s too bad Bixby is still incomplete — its voice interface doesn’t work yet, and the stuff we did get can be hit-or-miss. Fortunately, Bixby is strictly optional, and the rest of the phone is remarkably polished. Long story short, if you’re looking for a new phone, this should be at the top of your list.

Does that mean this phone is not for you? Well, I’ll say that if you’re coming from an S7 edge, you probably won’t need to upgrade.

Samsung found the right formula in the Galaxy S8. It dialed in the exact amounts of high design, technical power, and quality build needed to deliver a near-perfect smartphone. The S8's flaws are so few and far between I can hardly bring myself to bother repeating them here because everything else is so darned good. The Infinity Display and the metal/glass chassis that embraces it are impressive beyond words. The oblong shape may require a short adjustment period, but I assure you you'll fall in love with the S8, if not for its good looks then for its proven performance and winning personality. Call quality and data speeds are great, battery life is about average, and other hardware facets do their jobs perfectly.

The Galaxy S8 may seem to offer little more than last year's Galaxy S7 Edge, and in many ways, that's true. What it does is refine the product even further. In an extraordinary feat of design and engineering, the S8 squeezes the biggest-ever screen into a mainstream phone, but keeps the device dimensions to a manageable size. The phone is the sleekest ever, and of course if you're upgrading from a Galaxy S7 or S6, or some lesser phone, that infinity screen will simply blow you away.

The Samsung Galaxy S8 is simply gorgeous. Gone is the S7's flat screen, and in its place is a tall, narrow drink of water with two curved sides. This is a phone that felt at home in my hands when I went hands-on with it for several hours at a journalist briefing in San Francisco. Better even than the LG G6, which has similar proportions but no curved screen, and sleeker than the iPhone 7 Plus, which puts a smaller screen on taller, wider body. For the first time, every major Samsung phone is an "Edge" model, with the Edge and Note's curve-screen software and all.

With all the bells and whistles of the Galaxy S8 and S8+, it’s only understandable that the phones will be quite expensive when it arrives in the Philippines. Prolific leaker Evan Blass posted expected European pricing for both phones a few days ago and it isn’t pretty. Even accounting the fact that European pricing will always be higher due to higher taxes, you can expect the Galaxy S8 to be priced near the 40K mark, while the Galaxy S8+ will certainly be in the low 40’s. That’s pricing approaching iPhone territory, though you will have to consider that both devices use large, hard-to-produce curved Super AMOLED panels. Still, that price though.

Model: The Samsung Galaxy S8 is one of those phones that is up against some massively impressive competition in 2017. It is a very strong phone with great design and hardware specification. One of the most noticeable changes on the Galaxy S8 is that it's got around the loss of the front-facing home screen button, which means the handset is usable without requiring the mechanical key on the front of the Galaxy S8. Samsung has created two smartphones with big, beautiful screens that are both far more comfortable to use than any comparable models from the company’s rivals. While the Infinity Display (as Samsung is calling this edge-to-edge effort) isn't completely bezel-less at the sides, it still seems to spill over to the back of the phone. It’s by far the lowest bezel-to-screen ratio seen on a globally-available flagship phone so far. Besides that, Samsung has spent two years convincing the world that a curved screen is best, and the fact it's on this handset is a testament to that effort.
The 5.8-inch screen is packed tightly into the frame but it's still large at 148.90 x 68 x 8 mm. The fingerprint scanner is on the back by the camera. However, it's rather hard to use from the natural holding position for a phone in your palm because it is too close to the camera. Being the one that packs in wireless charging and an IP68 rating, user can immerse this phone in water and dust with little worry. In addition, they do not even need to plug in a cable to charge it. The 5.8-inch Super AMOLED display is clear, bright and colorful, with a QHD resolution. However, it's worth noting that the QHD element has been reduced by default: The user will be looking at a Full HD offering to start with. Thus, there is a need to choose to enable the full resolution capability in settings. As it allows more content to be split down the front of the phone, all the internal apps are optimized to make use of this larger space.
Samsung also launched Bixby, which is its own intelligent assistant, before the launch of the phone. The Samsung Galaxy S8 is clearly the launch vehicle for the AI service. There is a dedicated Bixby key on the side of the Galaxy S8. So, the user always has instant access to the portal. According to Samsung, Bixby is meant to be a frictionless assistant that can follow the user through voice, the camera or touch, learning what user want it to do, and not requiring the user to know a specific set of phrases to make it work. As for hardware specification, it has 4 GB of RAM alongside the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor and 64 GB storage. The storage is expandable via microSD slot by up to 256 GB. The front camera has seen a bigger upgrade, with a new 8 MP sensor. It also has a f/1.7 aperture and autofocus, which is still a rarity on selfie cameras. There is a 8 MP secondary camera on the front too. For the operating system, the Samsung Galaxy S8 runs on Android 7.1 Nougat. The S8 is certainly one of the best flagship device out there now but being the best also means it is going to cost much more than the rest.

It is a very small display format for smartphones. You should by no means be mis-sighted and you will generally see very little on the screen and only have a small resolution available. In return, the device should be very small and handy.
