Samsung’s Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus will make their debut on March 29, 2017. In fact, in the last year, Samsung proved to be the biggest phone maker in the world, as the company sold over 300 million smartphones in 2016. Samsung’s smartphones accounted for one in every five phones sold.
The Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus are expected to come with a curved screen, and an elegant and modern industrial design. The wraparound screen is refreshing to see in the new design. We assume Samsung’s rivals will also add curved screens to their phones in the future. A fingerprint gestures scanner and an iris scanner will allow the owner to unlock the handset with a glance and a gentle touch. It is rumored that the iris scanner will be capable of authorizing payments online, but we can’t say if this feature will be as trustful as a digital reader, or if it will be speedy enough.
Another new feature is the addition of Bixby, a digital assistant, which is similar to Apple’s Siri, Microsoft’s Cortana, or Amazon’s Echo Alexa assistant. Samsung has already promised that the company would make Bixby available across many of its devices. We can expect Bixby to tie together different devices and appliances, such as phones, washing machines, microwaves, and fridges. This innovation could give Samsung a big advantage.
The Galaxy S8 will be lighter than the Galaxy S7, even though the display of the new flagship phone is larger. Its body size is similar to the previous model, but the bezels above and below the screen have been reduced.
The new phone has no physical home button, and has been replaced by a 3D Touch pressure sensing icon under the screen to give the user a home button experience.
Both the front and the rear cameras can capture 1,000fps video, thanks to the addition of dedicated DRAM to the camera sensor.
Introduction: March 29, 2017. Release: April 21, 2017.
Other features (the list is not exhaustive):
Galaxy 8 – $724.
Galaxy 8 Plus – $824.
Depending on the carrier and contract, the phone will cost from $28 to $35 a month.
Guard S8 – an optional warranty system in which Samsung promises to repair owner’s phones within two hours (some regional restrictions apply). The owner will get one free screen repair and ‘remote support’ on the phone itself for quick, live support chats.
