Samsung has removed the latest
flagship, the Samsung Galaxy 8 and the Galaxy 8+. This launch may be one of the
worst-kept technical "secrets" of 2017, but that does not mean that
there's no reason to be intrigued - maybe even excited. After all, a lot is at
stake. Samsung may have more to do with this new level of hardware than
anything else in recent years, due to the image of the Note 7 disaster and the
corporate governance situation in which the company is currently involved. In
short, the new Galaxy S8 and S8 + must be absolutely positive for Samsung.
Let's take a look.
Galaxy S8 Design:
While no one can say that this is a
radical departure from the industrial design of the S7, that's not a bad thing.
WIRED liked the aesthetics of the S7 very much and it is gratifying to see a
further development of the look with the Samsung Galaxy S8 and not a
revolution. The rounded edges of the handset should make the phone feel smaller
in the hand, but the obvious difference is in the screen. Some users of the S7 suffered
from cracking displays. Therefore, it is good to see that glass has been
upgraded to Corning Gorilla Glass 5.
Samsung dispenses with as much
aperture as possible and has a 5.8-inch screen on the 148.9 x 68.1 x 8 mm 155 g
Galaxy S8 and a 6.2-inch screen on the larger 159, 5 x 73.4 x 8.1 mm Galaxy S8
+ pressed with 173 g. By pushing out the front panel, the Galaxy S8 should
appear smaller again and still offers a large screen, Speaking of screens: This
is the first mobile phone to have been certified as Mobile HDR Premium by the
UHD Alliance.
One feature many have been waiting
for to be the standard for mobile phones is included here. Samsung hid the Home
button below the screen of the Galaxy S8, freeing up valuable viewing space and
giving it a much sleeker overall look. It also feels right to press the glass
itself to bring up the splash screen.
Galaxy S8 performance:
Both phones running Android 7.0 have
a 10nm octa-core 64-bit 10nm resolution processor - the exact choice depends on
the market and mobile operators. You get 4 GB of RAM, 64 GB of memory, which
can also be expanded via Micro SD up to 256 GB. The battery performance is
3,000mAh for the Galaxy S8 and 3,500mAh for the "Plus".
The performance of the camera is of
course always crucial. In both versions, the rear camera is a 12MP (F1.7),
two-pixel, three-frame grabber to capture data from each image and produce the
best possible image. The front camera is an 8 megapixel camera (F1 , 7) with
intelligent autofocus and face recognition. Another integrated sensor
technology sensor includes an iris sensor, a pressure sensor, a heart rate, a
distance and a fingerprint for biometric authentication. As you would expect,
water and dust resistance is IP68-compliant and you can recharge both wired and
wireless. Audiophiles will be pleased that Samsung has not thrown out the
headphone jack, which sits next to the USB-C port on the bottom. Of course, the
phone can handle even high-resolution audio formats.
Galaxy S8 features:
Together with the Galaxy S8, Samsung
offers the new intelligent interface (or intelligent digital assistant) for the
phone - Bixby. The USP of this wizard can detect the context of your requests.
For example, if you have just taken pictures, you can tell Bixby to create a
folder without having to specify the pictures that you suspect relate to the
pictures you have just taken or pictures taken in a particular location.
Samsung says the secret of this
technology lies in "cognitive tolerance". So she understands the
entire sentence you say, not just words. If this is not the case, you will be
asked to clarify. You also do not have to "call" or "wake
up" the assistant because there is a special Bixby button on the side of
the handsets. In addition, Bixby can use the camera for a visual search, so you
can show the Galaxy S8 a bottle of wine and instruct Bixby to buy the same or
similar items.
Samsung also does a "thing"
that the Samsung Connect internet-things-hub stands on the handsets where you
can edit your Smart Things certified smart home kit. In this menu, you can see
what is in your camera-equipped refrigerator, or change the color settings for
the lighting. You can even set up "modes" in which you can, for
example, set up a "Leaving Home" mode that turns off the light,
regulates the heating and starts the robot vacuum cleaner.
