HANDS-ON WITH THE NEW GALAXY S8 FROM SAMSUNG
Phones are stale. Whether it's an iPhone 7, Huawei P10, Sony Xperia XZ Premium or any other flagship phone, they all look and feel the same. But just when I thought a phone couldn't surprise and delight me any more, the Samsung Galaxy S8 proved me wrong.
From the moment I picked up the S8 – and its larger, 6.2-inch sibling the Galaxy S8+ – I realised it was even more special than I expected. On this evidence, Samsung has surpassed anything we've seen before. There are one or two concerns ahead of our full Galaxy S8 review, but right now things are looking bright.
The Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ are nearly identical siblings, aside from the obvious differences dictated by their sizes. But other than screen size and battery capacity, everything else stays the same when it comes to hardware and software features. Here's everything you need to know:
