Evolution of smartphones has come a long way,
and it hasn't failed our expectations so far.
And this time we believe that Samsung
might have even exceeded them.
What's up everyone! It's Becca from MTP and welcome back.
This time we're doing our full hands-on review on Samsung galaxy S8 Plus.
Maybe the best smartphone of 2017 so far.
Let's see what's in the package.
We'll get back to the star of the show later.
First let's check the accessories:
There are booklets and the sim ejection tool,
micro USB to USB Type-C converter
so you can use your old micro USB cables,
...an OTG adapter, also very useful.
A fast-charging power brick with EU plug,
and a USB type C cable.
And alongside of that a pair of earphones,
tuned by AKG, and some extra rubber tips.
Rather unusual 18.5 : 9 ratio makes this phone look tall.
But it's pretty manageable for the size of 159.5 mm x 73.4 mm.
It's basically a metal frame sandwiched between two pieces of glass.
On the front there's a camera, the iris scanner and the earpiece.
Typically for Samsung the power button is on the right.
We're glad to see the headphone port on the bottom
next to the USB type C port and the speaker grill.
Volume rockers and the Bixby button are on the left.
The SIM tray is on the top with the SD card slot.
The fingerprint reader is moved to the back of the device this time
and so far practically nobody likes this placement.
We really find it confusing since it's right next to the camera.
But who knows, maybe that was an intentional move.
And now for the specs geeks.
This phone runs on Android Nougat 7.0 with Samsung Experience 8.1
and it's powered by 3500 mAh battery with quick charge.
It's provided with the newest processor:
Exynos 8895 with Mali G71 GPU.
That definitely makes this phone snappy
with very fast responses and without hiccups or lag.
There's 64 GB of storage and 4 GB of RAM.
Of course you can always expand your storage memory by putting in an SD card.
This device has the most beautiful 6.2 inch Super AMOLED display
with 1440 x 2690 resolution and 528 PPI.
There is no match to the brightness and the quality of the images,
and range of colors this screen can provide.
This phone has a UNIbody curved design
and it comes with Corning Gorilla Glass 5.
Also it's IP68 water and dust resistant.
As far as the software is concerned,
they did make some changes comparing to Samsung Galaxy S7.
For example, the app drawer is easily accessible
by swiping up and down on the home screen.
Bixby is Samsung's personal assistant.
Bixby Vision and Bixby Home are already fully functional on devices.
You can take a picture of an object and have Bixby recognize it,
or even buy it if you want to.
It's not fully developed and released yet,
since we're still missing Bixby Voice.
Bixby Voice will apparently allow you
to browse your phone just by talking to it.
Of course, it will only work with supported apps from Samsung
and if it is amazing as they say it will be-
we cannot wait to see that new feature.
The iris scanner is a big feature for Samsung
and we believe they want to change the fingerprint reader with the iris scanner,
hence the bad placement and many interesting eye scanner templates for you to set.
The unlocking is very fast and easy as well.
Maybe it won't be as easy with people who have glasses,
so do keep that in mind.
I am not so big in this feature
but this one really falls under personal preference.
Samsung Galaxy S8+ has 12 MP rear camera with f 1.7 aperture,
face detection, optic image stabilization,
4K video at 30fps and many others.
Swipe up on the screen and you are at the front camera in a second.
The front camera has 8 MP and it's very sharp and clear for good quality selfies.
There is also a feature called wide-angle selfie,
which is great because you can fit more people in one shot.
Play with the settings and take some amazing photos with this camera.
Here are some images examples just so you can see what this one can do.
This device is a 10 as far as the design and the performances go,
so one more time: good job Samsung
for bringing such an amazing phone to the market.
It's worth it.
That would be all for our new review.
