Breaking Down Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+

After the whole Note 7 fiasco, Samsung is determined to retain its position with its flagship entrants - Samsung Galaxy S8 and its S8+. The classic built and impeccable design of these devices are already making roars amongst the fans.

Whether it’s the slim design, high-end specs or the infinity display, the new Galaxy S8 and S8+ handsets are integrated with the best of features which needless to say, can surge the hopes of a true Samsung follower. That being said, there are some new itchy updates on which you might have to give second thoughts. Before the train of thoughts goes any further let’s just focus on the different aspects on which these devices are built on.

Display:

Get ready to be amused by the unmatched design of S8 series packed with flawless infinity display to provide you with an ultimate gaming and movie-watching experience. The Galaxy S8 comes with the 5.8" Quad HD+ Super AMOLED display with 570 ppi whereas its sibling S8+ is packed with 6.2" Quad HD+ Super AMOLED display with 529 ppi. Flaunting a perfectly symmetrical frame, these devices can take your mobile usage to the next level. Also, the seamless structure with no bezel edge-to-edge screen simply accentuates the overall appeal.

Camera:

Don’t miss out on your favourite moments, day or night, with 12MP and 8MP rear and front cameras. The quality of the images is phenomenal and has an accuracy to swear by. Other notable features would be the filters, HDR, VDIS, grid line, location tags, to name a few.

Design:

Samsung has tried to stick to its signature curve design with the oval-shaped home button. The size of S8 is somewhat similar to that of Galaxy S7 Edge with 5.8" screen size but S8+ is comparatively taller with 6.2" screen size. While S8 can fit into your palms, the same cannot be said for the latter.

Battery:

Samsung recently made it to the news, but for all the wrong reasons. There are now safety concerns when it comes to battery and Samsung tried its best working on the same. Powered by 3000mAh and 3500mAh batteries respectively, the S8 variants are incorporated with commendable battery life.

Bixby Voice Assistant:

With the new updates comes the new voice assistant to change the way you communicate. This new addition can apparently use the cameras to scan surrounding environ, collect information, analyze it and provide related information based on the analysis. That sounds interesting, but its actual performance and potential to make things happens still remains half-baked.

Operating System:

S8 and S8+ are built with undoubtedly powerful and slick software for a smooth working experience. They run on the latest version of android – Nougat 7 making it drool-worthy.

Performance:

Engineered to perfection, these devices hold some serious class-leading performances. With IP68, you no longer need to ponder upon its rendition. The device shields detrimental ingress of foreign particles and water, so that you can carry on with your daily chores smoothly.

Security:

Saving the best and most significant feature for the last, Samsung S8 variants are instilled with three cutting-edge security features viz. Iris Scanning, face recognition and fingerprint scanner. Out of the three, face recognition option is highly lauded for its quick face detection capabilities. Although fingerprint scanner plays an important role in maintaining security, its position on the device has been widely criticized. The rear mounted sensor proves to be quite uncomfortable for its impractical off-the-centre design.

Adding to the lot, the other reliable and anticipated features of these smart devices are:

-Wireless charging option

• Accelerometer

-Gyro Sensor

-HR and Proximity Sensor

-Magnetometer

-Barometer

• Pressure sensor
• GPS, Bluetooth and NFC connectivity

-Dual Sim and OTG compatibility

While the list goes on, the new Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+ are certainly packed with some serious technology-driven aspects to notch up the way you look, communicate and function in your day-to-day routine.

One can root for the neat and sought-after design and the app tiles that are placed just the right way to the extent that when you scroll through you will be left with an unparalleled mobile experience. The other impressive factor is the battery life and notification icons which define sheer finesse. Great user interface and quick touch interface makes it even better. To sum it all, the new Galaxy range can definitely dig a hole in your pocket but when it comes to technology and its strong roots over the world for generations, we can definitely cut the S8 series some slack for its pristine construct.
