You can finally stop reading rumors: Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 + are finally here, and they will start selling on April 21.
The first impression is not surprising, as Samsung is terrible in keeping secrets. Almost all the big rumors are true.
Let's look at the features of Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus:
5.8 / 6.2-inch Super AMOLED curves (if we ignore the rounded corners) with 2: 1 aspect ratio or aspect ratio (2960 × 1440)
HDR 10 support
Bixby voice assistant
Snapdragon 835 (or equivalent processor Exynos)
4 GB RAM, 64 GB Storage
Back camera 12 MP F1.7 OIS
8 MP F1.7 AF front camera
Iris Scanner
Android 7.0
Dual Bluetooth audio
USB-C port with 4 Quick Charge support
3.000 / 3.500 mAh battery
Weatherproof IP68 certification
'DeX' desktop with However,
Headphone jack
155g, 8mm thickness
Android OS, v7.0
microSD card slot
So yes, perhaps the biggest "revelation" is the fact that the front camera comes with autofocus, which is quite rare, and the rumors did not predict it.
The fingerprint reader has been moved backwards.
The higher screen ratio means you can have a more brilliant side-by-side application while the device is thin enough. Width and thickness, the S8 is similar to S7, which had only one 5.1 inch screen. In fact, S8 actually looks a little smaller due to its curved sides.
It should also be noted that display technology has improved a lot. In addition to being brighter and offering better HDR support, it comes with less off-angle color shift than usual OLED screens.
Below the sound button you will find a new button that is dedicated to Samsung Bixby's new voice assistant.
According to Samsung, Bixby at Galaxy S8 will be able to perform tasks that would normally require your hand, and not just to set up alerts and reminders.
For example, you can ask to “send the last photo I took to my friend.” If Bixby doesn't know who your friend is yet, it will ask you to confirm. Also, apart from the vocals possibilities search the new digital assistant appears to be able to use visual search elements as well. Samsung demonstrated finding prices for a bottle of wine by simply pointing the phone's camera at it.
The "Dex" function is a dock on the desktop. It has USB and HDMI ports for connecting peripherals and monitors. Just plug it into your S8, and you'll have a desktop on an Android version on your screen.
The Galaxy S8 looks to be a gorgeous device. Hopefully the hardware won't show up problems (βλέπε εκρήξεις battery) and that sales will go well for the South Korean company. Pre-orders will start tomorrow, March 30th.
