While innovation remains endless, security of content in the mobile
devices has always been a major consideration by mobile phone
users when making choice of purchase.
But with five enhanced security technologies in Galaxy S8 and
S8+, there are positive signals that Samsung has further raised the
bar in the mobile phone manufacturing.
The products were crafted with five security technologies including
iris recognition, most secure biometric identification system available
on a smartphone, face recognition, pattern, password, and PIN.
One thing interesting about the security technologies is that users
can easily choose their preferred method to secure their device. Users,
for instance, can use the iris scanner to unlock their devices without
having to swipe the phone while in the face recognition, users can
instantly unlock their devices with a look.

Without the PIN or pattern, a user simply look into the camera on
the lock screen to unlock the device. Users can also use the Secure
Folder app to save important files, images, videos, and apps.

These exciting innovative add-ons, based on user experience, no doubt
has put Samsung far above the competition.
As expected, the new products build on Samsung’s heritage of
creating stunning designs and functional devices.
Available in 5.8-inch for the Galaxy S8 and 6.2-inch for Galaxy
S8+, the infinity display and bezel-less design form a smooth,
continuous surface with no buttons or harsh angles. The result is a
truly immersive viewing experience without distractions making multi-
tasking more convenient.
The compact design of the S8 series enables comfortable one-
handed operation while the corning Gorilla Glass 5 on both the front
and back makes for durability and a high-quality finish.
Exquisite design
The corners of the smartphones have been rounded off leaving a
powerful silhouette. The curves are harmoniously synchronized with
the rounded edges to fit comfortably in a user’s hand.
The obverse part of the phone is mostly just display with perfect
symmetry, thereby virtually eliminating the bezel.
The physical home button usually located in the front of the phone
has been replaced with a digital home button, built into the glass.
While devices feature a rear mounted fingerprint reader, quite close
to the camera lens, a change that got people wondering how
comfortable it will be but it is definitely something that can easily be
adapted.
The always-on display makes a return, and now shows you the home
button whenever the phone is locked – so you know where to press
to wake it up again.
Large screen advantage
Samsung has always had some of the best smartphone screens in
the business, and that trend continues with the Galaxy S8 series.
The Super Amoled display panel has an aspect ratio of 18.5:9
and a resolution of 2,960 x 1,440 resulting in a crisp display and
a pixel density of 530 ppi. The AMOLED panel delivers deep,
inky blacks and incredible contrast, making images and video really
pop allowing users immerse themselves in the action.
Whatever you are watching, the large AMOLED screen will bring
the content to life with rich colors, intricate details, and stunning
definition.
Users can do more with their Galaxy S8 and S8+ whichever way
the device is held. Movies will fill the display when watching in
landscape mode for maximum immersion.
Camera
The product’s 12 MP rear camera utilizes dual pixel technology for
incredibly fast autofocus allowing users capture important moments.
Thanks to the F1.7 lens, as pictures appear bright and crisp even
if taking in low-lit environments.
Samsung did revamp the front-facing camera to an 8MP with auto
focus. This will definitely excite selfie addicts as pictures come out
sharp and vibrant.
Another interesting addition is a new multi-frame image processor
that takes three shots every single time a picture is taken, reducing
blur and leaving users with a sharper shot.
Full HDR
The new products are the first truly mobile HDR screen in the
market. With this, Samsung is partnering with Netflix and Amazon
to offer HDR streaming to its phone, allowing users view HDR-
enabled programming on a phone. This feature makes a difference
in terms of the brightness and clarity of the video, giving users a
remarkable viewing experience.
Smooth Multitasking
The Galaxy S8 and S8+’s extended screen is perfect for
multitasking. Users can multitask seamlessly while watching a video;
just open your favorite IM app along with the video player using
Multi Window and text with the full keyboard without having to hide
the video playing. While the Multi Window resizes the whole app
window, the Snap Window feature will display only the selected area
so you can refer to it while you are doing any other task. This is
absolutely a fun feature.
IP68 certification for dust and water resistance
Just like the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge, the Galaxy S8 and S8+
are IP68 certified for dust and water, protecting the device from
immersion in up to 1.5m of fresh water for 30 minutes. Users can
use the products to capture memories at pool parties or out on the
beach with loved ones. When wet, the device stops charging
automatically to prevent short circuits.
Bottom line:
With the product’s well crafted technology, large screen advantage,
enhanced security features, safety battery, among others, Galaxy
S8 series are the currently the toast of mobile users and the best
Android phones you can buy.
With plethora of features from the infinity display which gives an
incredibly full screen experience to the absent bezels providing more
space on the screen and a super sleek look and feel, the new device
gives much more value than anticipated.
