The Galaxy S8 is perhaps 2017’s most anticipated smartphone – and it looks like it is worth all the excitement. It has a 5.8-inch curved display packed into an aluminium body the size of smaller displays, water and dust resistance, fingerprint scanner and more.
The tasteful edge-to-edge design of the phone is a breath of fresh air, giving it a very sleek appearance. Samsung calls the screen “Infinity Display”. There is also fast charging built-in.
Besides the rear-mounted fingerprint sensor (which is oddly-placed right net to the camera lens, if we are being honest), there is also iris recognition, so you can unlock the phone with your eyes.
We are looking at a full package in the Galaxy S8. This sure looks like the smartphone to beat this year. Have a look at the rest of the Samsung Galaxy S8 Specs below.
