Design:
When it comes to AMOLED technology, Samsung has pretty much been the industry leader for quite a few years now. Top notch displays have been gracing the company’s flagships for generations and the new Galaxy S8 pair does live up to that reputation. The industry is shifting to new ultra-wide screens but the transition will inevitably take some time.Apps and games are one thing, Android can scale those so no big deal. Media content, on the other hand, will either take years to adapt to the new format or won’t do it at all. Either way prepare to see a lot of black bars around your videos or photos or live with some stretching or cropping.
Battery:
Size aside, few things actually set the Galaxy S8 and S8+ apart. In fact, the battery is the only other major difference. The Galaxy S8+ packs a non-removable 3,500mAh battery, a good 500mAh more than the regular S8. Since the Note7 misfortune, Samsung has delivered plenty of evidence that it has boosted quality control to make sure the issue never repeats itself.The Galaxy S8+ managed a solid 88 hours in our regular battery test routine. Overall, this falls in line with what we expected, considering the endurance of last year’s S7 edge and the S8+ hardware differences. The new screen has both a larger surface area and more pixels than the predecessor and the S8+ still managed to last over an hour more than the S7 edge in Wi-Fi browsing and 45 minutes during video playback.
Camera
Samsung’s tried and tested 12MP Dual Pixel shooter is present and accounted for on the Galaxy S8+, ready to power another generation of flagships. The Korean giant deemed it worthy and held off on any fancy dual-sensor setup for yet another year. Perhaps, the Note8 will be the first Galaxy to see double in a few months.That is still solely in the realm of speculation. As for the S8 and S8+, honestly, after spending some time shooting around, we can safely say that Samsung has no reason to regret its decision to build upon the already excellent camera experience of the Galaxy S7 generation. That’s the thing, on paper, it does look like practically nothing has changed. This is likely true from a pure hardware standpoint. You get the same f/1.7 aperture, 26mm equivalent lens, phase detection autofocus, OIS and a single LED flash.
Bixby:
Galaxy S8 and S8+ experience. Judging by marketing highlights, you’ll likely be seeing and hearing a lot about Bixby, even if you don’t plan on getting either of the flagship pair.Bixby is a massive undertaking and a whole lot more than a simple spin on the company’s outdated S Voice platform. Samsung wants Bixby to be a pervasive and persistent presence, like a digital butler that sees everything, hears everything and can help in every aspect of your daily life. If nothing else, the name sure fits the bill.Overall Performance:
