Galaxy S8 duo pronounced best smartphones by Consumer Reports

The independent analysts from Consumer Reports reviewed the Galaxy S8 duo and delivered their verdict. In short, the phones are outstanding, but the price tag might keep many consumers away.

Starting from the design, Consumer Reports mention the lack of bezels and how they allow a larger screen to fit within the same footprint. The dual-curved screen-dominated front also contributes to the "minimalist, modern, and elegant" design.

Consumer Reports praises the battery life, with the Galaxy S8+ scoring higher than the Galaxy S8.

Consumer Reports even put the devices in a pressurized aquarium to test their IP68 certifications, and they effortlessly passed the test. Samsung’s in-house AI assistant is also a feature on all devices, but CR thinks Google Assistant is what everyone will be using anyway.

The conclusion of the report is even without Bixby the Galaxy S8 are still top-ranked phones though.
