Samsung is a company that does not stop surprising us and always has something innovative to offer us.
That is why it has for its faithful clientele the Samsung S8, a phone that promises and is really impressive, its design is different from the rest of the models that Samsung has presented, but it promises to take excellent photographs for the high resolution of the camera, in addition to that we can have a better vision for its huge touch screen.
It has a screen with curved edges leaving behind the option of flat version, and both front and rear make use of the glass. Regarding colors, it comes in three variants: Midnight Black, Orchid Grey, and Arctic Silver. We could say that the most striking thing is that we no longer have a physical button on the front. Now has a pressure sensitive sensor placed behind the screen, the home button becomes invisible. It maintains the same functions as the S7 and when we make use of it will give us a vibration so that we are aware that it has been pressed.
The change in the home button implies another difference in the new Galaxy S8 and S8 +, now the fingerprint reader is on the back. For many the front seems a better location, for others, it is the back more natural area by how the device is held, is located just to the side of the camera.
When using the fingerprint reader on the S8, because of its size, it is not uncomfortable and easy to reach, but in the S8 + model it is different because of its size is more difficult to reach. Although the biggest problem is that touching the lens involuntarily will be the most common. Therefore, we will leave traces that if we are not careful then they will affect the photographs we take. We have the power button, volume controls, USB C and headphone connector as well as an exclusive button to invoke Bixby, your new voice assistant.
Something that we must emphasize of the new screens is the support for HDR content. Samsung has decided to bet and integrate the support for HDR 10 in its screens of S8 and S8 +. This will allow better viewing quality when playing compatible HDR content. At security level, there will be three biometric security options: fingerprint reader, iris reader and face detector. The footprint is the safest and fastest option. And face detection is also a fast option although it may be less secure than the previous ones, according to Samsung more convenient for the user.
It makes its entrance triumphal Bixby, the voice assistant of Samsung comes as an important bet on the part of the brand, is an assistant that is born after the purchase of Viv, company formed by one of the creators of Siri. Bixby seems to be a much better product to those we saw with S-Voice, it is able to understand the context and natural language.
