AnonD-647708, 19 Apr 2017Nope, you'll buy next year or in 2019, at tops. In 2018, S7 family will receive Android O and ... moreNooe, I won't. My s4 on kitkat can still run 99% of apps. I doubt things will change. Even then there's always custom roms.
By the time I nees an upgrade because of a deteriorated battery midrange phones will be as good as S7 is now.

Android apps are still not comparable with iOS counterparts and I mean Android, Pixel and sorts, not this heavily bloated skinned android with second voice assistant with a dedicated hardware key even. But then again there are people who think S7 doesn't lag, so for them S8 should be a top notch phone. But for people like me who care about smoothness/consistency over long term Samsung is dead.

Is this a phone i can carry with me for next 3-4 years?
i feel the bezel-less technology will get better and this phone maybe just a stepping stone to the ultimate no bezel display; maybe in 1 years time.
something about this phone makes me feel is not complete, not completely bezel-less, somewhere in between. i dont want to regret being stuck with this phone when u have a full screen with no bezel display in a year or two!!!

I badly want to buy this phone s8 not plus version . But only wondering that the apps on android is not as per with iOS app ( I don't hate or love any brand) . Since I love customisable user interface (android ) and good responsive apps (includes 3rd party as well ) I am thinking to move from iOS to android . Would you think I will have the same experience with s8 ? Last android I used was in lollipop. Need real android user answer. These are my options s8 , pixel or iPhone 7 plus -

G6 has an excellent camera, no doubt, but its no way better than Pixel's. Pixel currently leads the camera phone section and in my feeling will continue to do so until Pixel 2 or iPhone 8 comes. The image stacking and blending tech is something which takes away the lead there from other flagship phones, even when the Pixel has no better camera hardware than others (the sensor is still bigger than the likes of iPhone and kinds anyway). Smartphone cameras are forced to depend on software post processing as they will always have smaller sensor in comparison with dedicated cameras, so something has to make up for image quality, and Google nailed it there with the image stacking option, period. Have never seen any phone taking photos in low light that much consistently, and on top of everything it comes with pure android to sweeten things even more.

Wonderful extensive review, GSMArena! Samsung has definitely thrown in the kitchen sink as far as specs and especially, software are considered. That's a good thing!
The camera (both front and back) looks great although the panorama algorithm is horrible. Hopefully a SW update will fix it.
I'm a little disappointed about the new 10nm chipsets (SD 835/ Exynos 8895) as they didn't really stamp their superiority as they were expected to.

NewNicknameAgain, 20 Apr 2017Exactly, so you can't conclude on something you haven't seen yet That guy already saw itYes, because he has the privilege. But I've seen hundreds of different smartphone displays and most of the time it favours amoled. Best of the kind LCDs from Apple, HTC don't stand a chance against Samsung displays of previous generation, like from s6.

actually the wifi test for this phone is truely no meaning . GSMarena suppose change the test method more near to our daily usage experince.
conclusion are : 10 hours battery life in wifi test similar to 4pm left only 24% battery life. I not even the play game in my Samsung A7 , regularly browse the web. so this S8+ remain unable live without powerbank.

Tann Hauser, 20 Apr 2017Guess you obviously live in Inner Earth, as you only care for lowlight performance.
Fact is... moreMost high end phones take good pics in good light now days. To me the real test is what happens in low light and the S8 wins hands down from what i have seen. Sure there are plenty of other factors that come into play.
That said, I'd love nothing more than Nokia, Sony, LG or apple to bring out a camera that blows everyone else away. The best way to get better phones is through competition.
Money wasn't an issue, I just wanted a phone with a great camera. S7 is too small and im not a fan of sony, lg, iphones etc for various reasons.

Sammy fanboys are just not open-minded to admit it. Personally, I use a Huawei and still have to admit that the LG G6 camera is the best smartphone camera available right now.

Sony TVs are second to LG TVs to the most... moreGo check DPReview's conclusion and other websites' reviews for Sony's best and Samsung's best phones. LOL. S7 blew the XZ out of the water. Nothing new here anyway, no Sony phone ever matched any Samsung phone for image quality. People here were talking about S8's camera, and somehow Youtube reviewers using Sony phones, their mirrorless camera segment are brought into discussion, now talk about sheer stupidity! This is how you try to make up when your phone has a piss poor camera ROFL.
Actual loser is you and that other Sony fanboy who keeps visiting Samsung S8 section for God knows what reason. Go live with your inferior phones, nobody really gave a damn about Sony phones, so you are actually wasting your time.

lacp, 19 Apr 2017There are people who think that Sony still continues to beat the other technological companies... moreSony cameras are the most used cameras by YouTubers
Sony TVs are second to LG TVs to the most selling TVs worldwide, Samsung is not even close
Sony's audio system has always been competitive against Beats, Senheisser, Bose, etc.
Sony mirrorless cameras are the best of this class, and the newly announced a9 will blow the competition again
Even this new XZ Premium is garnering more attention than Sony used to be in the past
To prove everything you have said, I have owned a $20 Sony earphones and sound was great - maybe not the best but I'm not really expecting world class quality.
It handled about hundreds of abuse before the cable finally gave up, but only one cable was broken, and the other one was still flawless, and the whole headset is still in perfect look as I have bought it - it lasted for 5 months.
My uncle gave me his Samsung earphones and I was excited because it's from Samsung. Guess what, not even a whole month yet and the control button of the earphone already broke just by pressing it - issue that never happened on my Sony earphones.
Your claim of Samsung's better quality than Sony is false. My friend owns an S5 and his charging port cover is already wrecked without even dumping the phone into water. Another friend of mine with a Sony phone (don't know the model) is still in perfect condition with minor dents and scratches for 2 years of usage

Thanks GSMArena. Your review has finally convinced me to buy the Galaxy S8+ instead of the regular Galaxy S8.
When I went to the store, I find the Galaxy S8 is too small for me. Yes. A 5.8" display phone is small for me. I was using the iPhone 6 Plus for years now and its seems fitting for me to upgrade to the Galaxy S8+. Infact, the Galaxy S8+ have the exact same size as my iPhone 6 Plus!
For me, the Galaxy S8+ is the best phone in the market and the best alternative for an iPhone user like me, hands down. Can't wait to use it!

It shows the low light studio for the S8+, Xperia... moreGuess you obviously live in Inner Earth, as you only care for lowlight performance.
Fact is, and this is automode only we are speaking of, 23mpx cameras are better at good light, and 12 mpx ones are better at lowlight.
But then again, when speaking of manual, 23 mpx ones achieve much better results than 12 mpx ones, in both scenarios.
All in all, if having the same camera along with lots of same other feats, and just a plus of bigger screen with weird aspect ratio is your idea of 100€ more worth of trade than last year, go for it.
