The editors didn't like
Terrible fingerprint sensor placement
Inconsistent camera image quality in daylight (particularly zoom detail)
I actively hate the fingerprint scanner on the S8. It may be better on the standard S8. But yeah
It's bad
The S8 and S8ship with Android 7.0
And I've seen exactly nothing from Samsung indicating they plan to change their attitude about timely Android p
Awkwardly placed fingerprint sensor
Unreliable iris scanner
Bixby is useless
Bixby button can't be reassigned
Prev3 of 3Next
Rear fingerprint sensor is oddly placed
Face biometrics are finicky to set up and use
Bixby
Samsung's voice assistant
Is barely there
Fingerprints. Everywhere. Constantly
Slippery
Seems fragile
Fingerprint scanner is iffy
Speaker quality could've been better

Bigger
Heavier
And more expensive than the Galaxy S8
You'll have to reach higher to get to the fingerprint sensor on the back -- a straight day of this gets annoying
Fingerprint sensor is in a horrible location
Bixby isn't very useful or compelling
Odd fingerprint sensor location
Bixby is limited and needs work
No major improvements to the camera
Iris recognition is hit and miss
Bottomfiring speaker is average at best
Performance could be better
Screen colors are not too accurate
Characteristic Samsung stutters
Especially with Bixby
Little software to actually take advantage of this aspect ratio
Concerns over curved glass
Ergonomics
And durability
Just when I thought I was done with big phones
Samsung drags me back in. The
The most fragile phone ever made. Dumb fingerprint sensor position. Exynos version loves to throttle. Bixby isn't anything special. Expensive
Bixby isn't ready for prime time
Cameras aren't hugely improved
Fingerprint sensor placement is weird
…but unfortunately not much improved over the predecessor

This review wasn't meant to be an exhaustive take on what makes the Samsung Galaxy S8 right for you. We didn't touch on the camera (which remains mostly unchanged from last year), the bump in storage to 64GB from 32GB, the unbelievably quick charging time...

Abstract: There's been a lot of talk this year about bezel-less displays on smartphones. Samsung has now delivered the best – and most beautiful – example of how this can makes things better for the consumer, with the Galaxy S8 phones and their not-so-subtly-brande...

The Samsung Galaxy S8+, in my opinion, is a very compelling option if you're in the market for a premium smartphone. The issues I mentioned earlier are niggles at best, and the fact is that the S8+ does pack in a lot for its asking price. The only rival t...
Abstract: Samsung's latest flagship phones, the Galaxy S8 and the Galaxy S8 Plus, are two of the most unique looking phones currently on the market. We got our hands on both of these phones at Samsung's Unpacked 2017 event at the end of March, and now we bring you...

I've seen plenty of people say they don't like the Galaxy S8. Why is that? Is it just because they're haters of everything Samsung? I mean, even if you're a Samsung hater, it's hard to dislike the Galaxy S8, at least in my view. It's one of the more beaut...

Inconsistent camera image quality in daylight (particularly zoom detail)
At this point, is there a situation where the Samsung Galaxy S8 or S8+ shouldn't be your next smartphone? Folks who take more photos during the day, or might need a smaller phone might consider the LG G6 or Google Pixel. Those wanting the absolute latest...
Incredible bezelless screen, Liberating 64 GB of storage microSD, Slightly better battery life, Very good price, Good battery life, Still a top performer
It's time for a wrap-up: with every aspect of the S8+ and S7 Edge compared and thoroughly examined, is it worth getting the S8+?If you don't care about price, it's a resounding yes for us. The bezel-less screen is the big feature and it looks futuristic...

great display, nice design, fast SoC, very good GPS performance, fast Wi-Fi, Gigabit LTE, good voice quality, comprehensive sensor equipment, USB 3.1 with DP, HDMI, and OTG, long battery runtime, Quick-charge and wireless charging, water and dust-proof,
…but unfortunately not much improved over the predecessor, no dual-SIM, could support more LTE bands, bad position of the fingerprint scanner, SoC throttling under sustained workloads, warranty does not cover water damage
The connectivity of the Galaxy S8 Plus does not deserve any criticism, either. The voice quality is good, and you get very fast Wi-Fi as well as Gigabit LTE. The latter could cover more frequencies though, and you might get problems if you travel a lot in...

Bixby isn't ready for prime time, Cameras aren't hugely improved, Fingerprint sensor placement is weird
All of the S8's accolades apply to the S8 Plus as well: It's a stellar performer that aptly blends beauty and horsepower. Its bigger body, however, means Samsung was able to squeeze a larger battery inside. Couple that with a surprisingly comfortable, nar...
