The Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus are the eighth generation of Samsung Electronics' Galaxy S series smartphones that are powerful and powerful.
Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus features
The Samsung Galaxy S8 was released alongside the S8 Plus on March 29, 2017. This smartphone is from the South Korean company Samsung Electronics. At the official presentation in New York, smartphones were able to prove themselves quite well. Possessing wide functionality and interesting features, the models attracted the attention of users.
New functions and features of Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus:
Infinite display
Deciding to ditch the typical 16: 9 aspect ratio in favor of a more stretched and comfortable 5: 9, the company moved the fingerprint scanner to the back of the smartphone. The Home button is now virtual. The frameless screen allows you to watch any movie in good quality 1080HD with almost perfect anti-aliasing and convenient expansion.
PC mode
Along with the phone came a new docking station called DeX, with which you can use your smartphone on a PC display. To do this, you need to connect the accessory to the computer, and then put the Samsung itself on the rack. By connecting a monitor, keyboard and other peripherals to the dock, you can continue working with documents or communicating in a protracted chat.
Retina scanner
In addition to the ability to unlock the device using a fingerprint, a new way was shown at the presentation - through eye prints. You can also use this technology to log into apps and pay with Samsung Pay. Unlike a fingerprint scanner, the iris cannot be duplicated due to its unique pattern, which makes this unlocking method safer.
Characteristics
The difference between the parameters of Samsung S8 and S8 Plus is extremely small and lies only in the diagonal - in the first model it is 5.8 inches, in the second - 6.2 inches. In all other respects, the description of the characteristics will hardly differ.
- Processor: 4 cores at 2.3 GHz, 8 cores CPU
- RAM - 4 GB.
- Storage - ranges from 64GB to 256GB.
The camera is pretty good here - 12 megapixels and 4K quality support allows you to shoot not only gorgeous photos, but also videos. You can take a photo in a variety of formats: panorama, serial, scene. There is a function of shooting in the dark.
In addition to the smartphone, the package includes a power adapter, a USB cable, 3.5 mm headphones from AKG, a clip for removing a SIM card.
Flaws
The official price for the release of the device was 55 thousand for the S8 and 60 thousand for the S8 Plus, but after a short period of time it fell, since the phones of the Galaxy S line are hard enough to sell for the same price, which does not apply to the same IPhone.
The S8 does not support the dual SIM function, which is not the case for the Plus version, but there is a choice here - either use one SIM card and microSD, or two SIM cards.
Users complain that the fingerprint scanner is inconvenient to reach because it is too high. Also, the back glass panel of the phone gets very dirty and collects fingerprints.
