In 2016, Samsung saw a few ups and downs. Where on one hand its J series was a huge success on the other was the Note 7 which was meant to be their flagship smartphone but it costed them $5 billions (approx.) and a lot of criticism. No worries, Samsung has its Galaxy series to save the day. The Galaxy series has always been a hit amongst the customers and also the most profitable product for the company. Now to cover its losses and to set new standards in the industry, Samsung has released the two most awaited smartphones the Galaxy S8 and the Galaxy S8 Plus. These are loaded with the latest technology and also has some amazing unique features which makes it eligible to be called as a premium smartphone.

Samsung has not been amongst those companies who were appreciated for their design. Although their smartphones had sharp and bright display but they had their trademark design used in all of their phones. But with its new launch they are ready to break the traditional rules. The Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus comes with, what is being called the "Infinite Display". They come in 5.8" and 6.2" sizes respectively with a resolution of 1440 x 2960 pixels and curved screen on the sides. The Samsung logo and the traditional Home button has been removed from the front to make it bezel free and compact. Instead of the Home button, Samsung has implemented the force touch mechanism at the bottom which acts as a virtual home button.

Improved Camera -

There has always been a tough fight in this segment and its hard to decide a clear winner. Although the S8 and S8 Plus comes with a 12MP rear shooter, its f/1.7 aperture and improved image processing software makes the photo sharp and crisp and also good for low light photography. The front camera is a 8MP shooter with autofocus so that you can click blur less selfie quickly.

The S8 and the S8 Plus comes with the latest Bixby software, which is the Samsung's own virtual assistant software to make the phone more easy to access. By pressing a dedicated button on the side Bixby Voice gets activated and then you can do mostly everything that you could do by touching the phone. Then there is Bixby Vision (Samsung's version of Google Goggles) which lets you identify objects captured by the camera. With the DeX technology (Desktop Experience) the idea of using the smartphone's processor as a computer has finally turned into reality. Just put the phone inside the dedicated DeX hardware and you are good to go. It consists of 2 USB Ports for keyboard and mouse, 1 HDMI for display and 1 USB type C port for power to make it a computer wherever you want. A DeX OS optimized for bigger screens and faster performance is used for the interface.

Better Security -

Gone are the days when you used to unlock your phone with some pattern or password, now you have the figerprint sensor and on the S8 and S8 Plus it is placed right next to the camera. Now the placement of the sensor is arguable but where on S8 it can be easily accessed, on the S8 Plus its hard to reach if using single handedly. Iris Scanning is another feature which can be used to unlock the phone and is the safest way to secure your private contents. They also come with an option of face unlock which is very quick and quite accurate even in low light (thanks to great selfie camera.)
