Samsung Galaxy S8 review

39 Comments

1. Are you kidding me? The S8 and S8+ sucks, wtf is wrong with Samsung, they make these phones with no investments in durability. They just rush to put out a new model every year which looks shiny, has impressive hardware into it and yet, the battery capacity is a damn joke, 3000 and 3500 mah just isn't enough, the screen's edges are a big minus in the eventuality of a drop, even with their Corning Gorilla Glass these phones can easily get a screen fisure. Even Samsung's Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge battery performance is less than stellar. I guess that i'll try to avoid Samsung until they invest in overall quality of their smartphones. Especially when these are so expensive, this is what people get from a phone made in China, where are the good days when Japan produced top quality products.

2. "You know what Apple, you can charge a lot for your phones, we're gonna do the same thing too."

   Apple: Hold my beer.

3. Ima wait for the new Google release in October before I make any decisions.

4. getting this phone in exchange for my S7edge thanks to Device Care being out of stock of my phone, good times!

5. WHAT????? I CANT HEAR YOU!!!!!

6. The Samsung Galaxy S8 is hands down the best phone on the market right now…

7. I'm buying one for my dad for fathers day

8. Really small improvement comparing with S7, and pretty stupid fingerprint location.
   The 18.5:9 screen with virtual buttons which displays smaller images in many apps is not even an innovation…

9. I want that wallpaper!!!

10. Is that the plus or just normal one you have in most of the video?

11. I love that cat?. so cute.

12. guys if anyone has any questions let me know. I got the galaxy s8+.

    1)iris is indeed a bit crap: you have to align your eyes and make sure they are wide open. (btw i don't wear glasses)
    2)fingerprint is fine. I don't have big hands I would say but can still reach it and find it very useable. Keep in mind you only need to put your finger there to turn on and unlock phone (unlike s7 where you turn your phone on first and then put your finger to unlock it)
    3) facial recognition is a killer feature for me. Yes it may not be as secure, but its so quick and works from a lot of angles. I literally turn my phone on, and its unlocked within a second. Crazy fast, dare I say as fast as using fingerprint. (and its completely different from other android phones which have had facial recognition, they were painfully slow and annoying)

    So all in all, during the day facial works perfectly…but if its quite dark then go for the fingerprint. Great to have both options enabled.

    (you can enable fingerprint + either facial or iris)

13. how is this a review? You didn't mention any of the specs at all. One of which is a duel SIM card/SD card slot. And according to their website it does have voice recognition. So not sure why you said it didn't…..

14. iphone7 win
    Galaxy s8 dead

15. Already bought it.

16. Subscribe Me. I'll Subscribe you in Return. 🙂

17. These guys got the unit WEEK in advance and had a WEEK to correct themselves regarding the camera sensor…..but nooooo…
    This is what happens when a random guy decides to pick up a phone and read out what's written on the box… no effort in research.
    Least they can do is look around on the net and see LOT more videos claiming difference in sensors,…

18. "first time we see a flagship phone which got soo little bezel" what about the g6???

19. Number 1 – put the phone in a case. You've paid a lot for it, keep it that way.

20. s8 = dildo phone

21. Terrible review

22. I am getting it Friday

23. So I guessing if you lose your phone or get robbed the robber would have to take a picture of you first before leaving or else the phone would still remain lock.

24. Can you minimise the screen like on S7 with the swipe gesture

25. would love an s8 to replace my s4. now just need money.

26. waiting for the Note 8
    I want a normal fucking screen

27. Pathetic hordes of sheeple predictably enslaved in the annual veneration of artificially inflated devices.

28. Can't wait for Friday S8Plus in the house.

29. terrible review premium headphones included,they do have new camera sensor any mention of Bluetooth 5 only phone with it! unsuscribed

30. Iphone 7 all day

31. Awesome would love an s8+

32. Why make a 18.5 : 9 long screen when 90% of the games, videos and youtube videos are on 16 : 9 screen ratio, just WHY? If you use S8 and don't want to have black empty bars on each side when you watch videos or play games, you have to crop the videos/games, and lose details just to have those on full screen… This makes the S8 new screen useless to be honest. That's why I'm hesitating and might just buy the S7 instead.

33. nice

34. Bixby sounds like the same empty promises as svoice when it was first announced. Hmmm… New names new svoice, new lagwiz etc… Stop trying to out Google Google. How'd tizen and svoice make out?

35. stereo speakers on phones are overated. They are ok on my Z3 tablet but my S7 is actually louder than the Z3 phone I had previously. I never use phones for movies anyway. No rush to upgrade but it's between this and the XZ premium next time around.

36. Another reviewer that doesn't bother or doesn't know how to check the hardware on the phone… The S8 ans S8 Plus are not using the same rear sensor as the S7 and S7E. They're using 2 new sensors… One from Samsung and another one from Sony.

37. Talk about lack of intrest of techradar… Same sensor? You are clueless…

38. Wow Nice video……… I Liked it……Tech Radar Please make Battery comparison video between s7edge and s8+………I know Still S7 edge is the battery king……☺☺☺☺

39. why biased towards s8. iphone is not cheaper
