Boundaries removed
The Infinity Display has an incredible end-to-end screen that spills over the phone’s sides, forming a completely smooth, continuous surface with no bumps or angles. It’s pure, pristine, uninterrupted glass. And it takes up the entire front of the phone, flowing seamlessly into the aluminium shell. The result is a beautifully curved, perfectly symmetrical, singular object.

Security that's foolproof
Prying eyes are not a problem when you have iris scanning on the Galaxy S8 and S8+. No two irises have the same pattern, not even yours, and they're nearly impossible to replicate. That means with iris scanning, your phone and its contents open to your eyes only. And when you need to unlock really fast, face recognition is a handy option.

Faster, even in rain
You never really stop using your phone. That's why Galaxy S8 and S8+ are driven by the world's first 10nm processor. It's fast and powerful and increases battery efficiency. Plus, there's the ability to expand storage, and to work through rain and dust with IP68-rated performance.

Say hello to Bixby
Bixby completely changes the way you interact with your phone. It's a personal assistant that understands talk, text, and taps so you're never confined to one mode of communication. It also completely changes the way you search. You don't even have to ask, just show Bixby what you want by opening your camera app. It's so incredibly easy.

The phone that breaks barriers
The Galaxy S8 and S8+ are designed to be more than just smartphones. They're designed to change how you capture and view your life and how you work on the go. Break down the barriers in your world with the Galaxy S8 and S8+.

Samsung focussed on the Galaxy Tab S3 at MWC but the long wait for its 2017 flagship phone is over. Can the firm really improve on the amazing Galaxy S7? It can indeed but our in-depth review shows it's not faultless. Samsung isn't hanging about in terms...
Bottom line Samsung has taken the best phone around and made it even better with an impressive screen and design. It ticks a shed load of boxes you'd want a flagship to do. It's the best phone of 2017 so far but it is expensive and the biometrics are a let down. We'r...

Bottom line Samsung Galaxy S8:an pitäisi olla listasi kärkipäässä, jos etsit uutta puhelinta. Sen suuri reunaton näyttö on kaunis ja erittäin laadukas. Sormenjälkitunnistimen sijoittaminen hankalaan paikkaan puhelimen taakse, sekä huonosti toimivat iirisskanneri ja k...

Bottom line The Samsung 2017 flagship, compact edition. Can the Galaxy S8 make even the die-hard fans of the big-screen experience consider converting? Think about it - you get so much screen in a phone that's practically as wide as a iPhone 7. Heck, the S8 is just 3...

Whether you believe it or not, the Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+ are probably the best Android phones we have ever got our hands on. Sure, we thought the Google Pixel was probably the best when it came out, but we had no idea what Samsung would pull out of th...

It's pick-a-flagship time and these are probably the three best phones of the season. The Samsung Galaxy S8 and the LG G6 are already available worldwide, while the Xperia XZ Premium is just about starting to hit the shelves - so it won't be all that pain...
Bottom line You've probably picked up on this, but we didn't award the G6 the victory in any area, not all on its own, that is. Does it really need to win to be a winner, though? We figure the combination of an attractive pricetag, two cameras, and balanced performan...
