Samsung Galaxy S8 Review

Samsung had a big burden to bear after the product's last major release: its Galaxy Note7 phones did not catch fire while charging. Now the company is back with the Samsung Galaxy S8, the first cell phone that has really turned its head. That's because its 5.8-inch edge-to-edge screen is perfect. There is no other smartphone in the US UU that you like it, and if you see it, you will surely want one. But the screen is just another tip, or this new phone, from a company with a problematic past, is it really worth its price of $ 720? We say yes After testing the Galaxy S8 in Purch Labs, we find that this is the best available Android phone. It is made of the highest quality materials and features the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 fast processor. It has a remarkable battery life, is comfortable to wear and is packed with high-end cameras. design If you have the Galaxy S8, you know that there is no other phone like this. Its metal frame feels high quality and is appealing to play, and its screen is simply remarkable. It's bigger, thinner, and more compact than most smartphones, yet fits in a more valuable real estate screen. This screen has an aspect ratio of 18.5: 9, which is very different from the 16: 9 screens that today provide almost all other smartphones. This non-frame screen works the way the LG G6's 18: 9 screen could not: the phone looks like a single screen. While the screen/body ratio of the Galaxy S7 Edge was impressive at 76%, the new Galaxy S8 has a screen/body ratio of 83%. For an additional comparison, the iPhone 7 Plus 5.5 inches only has a 68 percent index. The S8 is comfortable to hold and does not seem to be slippery. This comes from someone who hates big phones and prefers the iPhone 4 "SE to any model with a" plus "in the name. The Galaxy S8 is the first big phone I did not want to give up even though it has an intimidating and fragile glass body. I even felt safe with one hand, although my thumb could not reach the top of the screen. To compensate for this, Samsung has added a one-hand mode: you can zoom out by pressing the Start button three times.

cameras Samsung has not really updated the rear view camera of the Galaxy S8, but that's not necessarily bad. Of course, it would have been nice to see a dual camera setup, but the onboard camera is still incredibly impressive: it has the same 12MP sensor with an optically stabilized f / 1.7 lens as its predecessor. However, Samsung has increased its software processing in the same way as the Google Pixel HDR + mode. Essentially, when the shutter-release button is pressed, the camera takes several pictures, selects the best, and enhances the picture with details and additional information about the other pictures. This will give you crisp, bright and detailed photos with rich and vivid colors. We've found that the Galaxy S8 works well in both bright and dim environments. The Samsung Camera App comes with multiple modes for capturing panoramas, food, and video in slow motion, and even has tags and filters like Snapchat and Instagram. Conveniently, you can press the power button twice to quickly activate the camera, lock your phone, or use another application. The camera can also be operated with one hand. In addition, the front camera has received an update to improve your selfie. The Galaxy S8 has a new 8MP camera with wide-angle lens and autofocus. In beauty mode, you can lighten your face, enlarge your eyes and adjust your complexion. Business users will appreciate the full manual control, a feature that is missing in Google Pixel. Battery life Determined that the 3000 mAh Galaxy S8 battery lasts 10 hours and 39 minutes, improved in eight hours and 43 minutes, the Galaxy S7 on the screen can be about two hours larger, but does not affect the battery life. These results were obtained with the resolution of the phone at a maximum of 2960 x 1440 pixels. The least sophisticated 2220 x 1080 phone configuration is enabled by default. For comparison, the iPhone 7 has a battery life of nine hours and three minutes, and the Google Pixel took eight hours and 16 minutes in the same test. The largest Google Pixel XL, however, still dominates its 3450 mAh battery, which offers 11 hours and 11 minutes of battery life. specifications Samsung has introduced Bixby, a newly integrated wizard that does not yet have voice capabilities. For now, Bixby is a bit like Google Now, with information cards that let you know what the trends are online and look at your calendar, weather, and news. There is even a dedicated button on the left side of the phone to enable Bixby, although it would be nice if Samsung allowed users to re-assign or at least disable that button. The Google Assistant, which also has the S8, is much more powerful and powerful. We're not big fans of Bixby, but to be honest, we're not fans of Siri either. Both have considerable room for improvement. The Galaxy S8 has Bluetooth 5.0, which has a wider range than previous standards and allows you to play audio from two different devices at the same time. This is useful for Bluetooth speakers and allows you to listen to the same songs as a workout partner in the gym, provided your friend has a pair of Bluetooth headphones. While we talk about headphones, Samsung introduces a pair of headphones from AKG with each S8. These $ 99 earphones blow Apple EarPods out of the water. To make things even better, you get Gear VR and a controller with your Galaxy S8. Summary The Samsung Galaxy S8 is without a doubt the best Android smartphone. It outperforms every competition in terms of performance, design, battery life and features. It is obvious that Samsung has invested a lot of time and effort in this impressive device. Of course, the S8 has some minor bugs, such as an awkward fingerprint scanner and a half-cooked speech assistant, but with its dynamic screen, excellent cameras, long battery life, and a fast processor, The Samsung Galaxy S8 is not only the best Android smartphone, it's also difficult to find a better phone thanks to its impressive screen from start to finish, its powerful processor, impressive battery performance and high-end cameras ,
