HEY folks, Samsung lauched its new galaxy flagship model S8.When you first see it .only thing which came out is WOW!.With S8 samsung brought another big change in its flagship series{ 1st is when S6 was launched with metal frame}.S8 got an edge-to-edge “infinity” display with reduced bezel and rounded corners to maximize screen size with new aspect ratio which was not experienced in previous phones.Its quite easy to use with single hand. Every year with new flagship phone Samsung proves its the best maker in terms of screen and it has proven it with S8 too.The 5.8-inch OLED panel is jaw droppingly bright, razor sharp and it has incredible contrast. It has quad-HD+ 2960 x 1440 resolution with aspect ratio of 18.5:9.
Performance- Samsung has supplied the very latest and greatest cutting edge hardware(a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 chipset in the US and a Samsung Exynos 8895 chipset in Europe and Asia, plus 4GB RAM) and it breezes through any game you’ll find on the Play Store without breaking a sweat. It’s also fast to open apps and is generally very responsive.In the AnTuTu benchmark, which tests everything from 3D performance to RAM speeds, the S8’s 173, 292 score is among the best. Notably, its 70, 546 score in the 3D gaming tests put it above the iPhone 7 Plus and LG G6, which both scored 60, 000
Performance_-
Under the stunning body is a serious amount of power, although where you live in the world will determine the SoC(system-on-chip) at the heart of the device. Brits, and those in Europe and Asia, will get Samsung’s own Exynos 8895 chipset, while folk in the USA will get a device with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835.
Whichever CPU you end up with is unlikely to make a huge difference on performance. But considering I’ve so far used only the Exynos version, I can’t say too much about the 835.
Both are the fastest CPUs out there, built using a 10nm production process for improved efficiency. There’s 4GB of RAM – any more is basically pointless for a phone at this stage – and it has a roomy 64GB of internal storage with support for up to 256GB microSD cards.
During my time with the Galaxy S8, I can’t say that it’s been noticeably faster than a Snapdragon 821 device such as the Pixel XL or LG G6. However, the latest processors do add in a few features that are aiming to future-proof devices such as this.
There’s Gigabit LTE support, better battery life relative to the cell used, and the ability for quicker charging. Having more power also makes it possible to enlist DeX, Samsung’s way of turning the S8 into a mini-computer that can be plugged into an HDMI monitor.
Another future-looking feature is Bluetooth 5.0, which you won’t be able to take advantage of fully until relevant devices with it are released. But, for now at least, you can finally pair two Bluetooth-enabled devices to the S8 at once and play music through both of them.
Nothing seems to make the Galaxy S8 break sweat – but that in itself isn’t a big deal any more. The Rs.33243 OnePlus 3T will handle most tasks you throw at it, as will the Rs.13297 Moto G5.
Games run as you’d expect from a flagship phone running the latest GPUs – the Mali G71 for the Exynos model and the Adreno 540 for the Snapdragon; they load quickly and play without any dropped frames. However, there hasn’t been a huge jump in the quality and power needed to run these intensive games since the Galaxy S7 arrived. DeX will be a real test of the phone’s power, but I haven’t had much time to test this yet.
There’s a bigger gap in performance in synthetic benchmark tests, where the Galaxy S8 scores 2013 in the Geekbench 4’s single-core test and 6659 in the multi-core version. That’s on a par with results from a test Snapdragon 835, and slightly above phones running the Kirin 960, which scores 1935 and 6237 in the same tests.
I would have liked to have seen better single-core scores, since the majority of daily tasks utilise only this. The iPhone remains at the top in this category, with its 3434 single-core score.
In the AnTuTu benchmark, which tests everything from 3D performance to RAM speeds, the S8’s 173, 292 score is among the best. Notably, its 70, 546 score in the 3D gaming tests put it above the iPhone 7 Plus and LG G6, which both scored 60, 000.
Unfortunately, speakers still don’t appear to be a priority for Samsung – the downward-facing one here is terrible. It’s easy to block with your hand when you’re watching landscape video, and the sound itself is tinny and distorted at higher volumes. With the diminishing bezel, it’s likely that speakers will continue to get worse. Phone-call quality is fine, as is Wi-Fi performance, but neither is revolutionary or better than what you’d experience on much cheaper phones.
The Galaxy S8 is a fast handset – but I increasingly expect that, rather than being surprised by it. The chip-makers are advancing much faster than the apps for these flagships, and it does feel as though much of the power available here is probably wasted.
SOFTWARE:
Software used to be one of Samsung’s weaknesses, and although far from being one of the company’s strengths in the S8, improvements are clear to see.
In fact, the software layer on top of Android 7.0 is good-looking and functional. Icons are more mature, and the on-screen buttons – a first for a Samsung S-series phone – are angular and edgy. The biggest software addition for the Galaxy S8 is Bixby, Samsung’s rival to Siri – and it’s probably the biggest disappointment, too. This digital personal assistant pops up everywhere, plus there’s a dedicated Bixby button on the side, so you don’t need to call out an awkward phrase to get it going. The thing is, it feels half-baked and not quite ready yet.
Camera- The S8 is a sizeable improvement over the S7 in almost every area, but the camera has received the fewest upgrades – on paper, at least. There’s no dual-sensor system here, no wide-angle lens or variable aperture. Instead, there’s a single 12-megapixel sensor behind a wide f/1.7 lens that uses the same Dual Pixel tech as the S7.
Battery-The biggest concern I had about the Samsung Galaxy S8 was the battery life. Considering the fallout from trying to cram a big battery inside the slim Note 7, it’s probably no surprise that Samsung has been a little conservative with the cell inside the Galaxy S8.
But can a phone with a 5.8-inch quad-HD+ HDR-ready display really last the whole day on a 3000mAh battery? That’s the same size of battery that managed to make it through just a day on the 5.1-inch Galaxy S7.
The answer is yes – but it isn’t so straightforward. The fact is that, more than ever, how long the battery lasts will depend on how you use the phone. You can change the performance, the screen resolution, whether or not brightness is boosted when you’re watching videos, and each of these will affect the battery in different way.
Final Words-Easily the best phone around right now. The Galaxy S8 feels like the future.But if u got S7 already then I prefer to wait for next flagship phone like Note 8 or S9 [next year} or Iphone 8 [probably in September] as cost of phone is high and if u have budget to buy this then go for it guys.
