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
Photos by Raj Rout
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
