Catching Fire Issue

First and the foremost, everyone was scared and was curios to know that this new beauty is also going to catch fire, and before you ask any seller or someone else. We have asked that question many times and Samsung has been very clear about that issue and this phone is not going to catch fire, not this time.

Samsung Galaxy S8 Release Date

Galaxy S8 release date US: April 21

Galaxy S8 release date UK: April 28

Samsung confirmed the release date for new Samsung Galaxy S8, Galaxy S8 is releasing in US on 21st April and for the rest of the world which also includes UK, S8 is releasing on 28th April. And we didn’t get any information about locations such as Australia yet. You can also pre-order the phone and if you pre order the phone before 19th of April 2017, it will surely arrive on 20th of April but we have heard no word about free Gear VR Boo.

Samsung Galaxy S8 Price

Samsung Galaxy S8 price: $720, £689, AU$1,199

The Sim-free Samsung Galaxy S8 priced is mentioned above, and the price of this phone makes this phone One of the most expensive phone in the market. On Contract in the US, the phone is going to cost you $28 to $35 a month, which also depends on your carrier.

And in UK, the phone is going to cost £40/Month on a two year deal. But to pick up this deal you have to show some amount too.

But the money you are spending, it’s totally worth it!

You are getting more space this year, as this time Galaxy came with 64GB internal storage which was 32GB last year in Galaxy S7. And there’s a memory card slot too with cool AKG headphones packed together with phone.

New Features in Samsung Galaxy S8

  1. Rear-mounted fingerprint sensor
  2. Bixby AI assistant with dedicated button
  3. Massive Infinity Display on the front
  4. Refined user interface

You have read the above article, and what you are actually looking for is that what i am getting new in this Samsung Model? So let me get you to some new features that makes this Samsung Galaxy S8 more awesome. There are three major upgrade that Samsung fans will love. And one major upgrade is the upgraded performance and upgraded power of this phone.

The first upgrade is infinity display that Samsung Fans are getting, and it makes this phone more unique. 5.8 Inch Display Screen that wraps its way around most of the phone. The screen is curved around the phone which makes it more cooler than before. Samsung decided to go for no-flat versions anymore after seeing the result of Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge.

Samsung Galaxy S8 is having QHD Resolution, but longer like LG G6, the screen ratio is 18.5:9. Which means that some apps will give display with bars on left and right. And the screen of this phone is also HDR Enabled. So if Netflix is charging extra money or you are having Amazon Prime video, you are going to have the perfect and colorful experience on your mobile phone.

Second Big Change in this Model is a new button added to the screen, that button will take you to the Bixby Assitant. Bixby assistant is you assistant that will assist you through your touch, voice or camera.

You are not impressed yet? And comparing it with Siri?

Let me tell you what Bixby will give you!!!

Bixby Vision in the camera can do more than Siri, as you can compare Photos on Pinterest. It can work out for different places and products on Amazon. What Samsung actually wanted was Bixby to take on Alexa by being the AI that’s coded into every app. Right now Bixby is not even the default Samsung App, but they are working hard on it. And Google Assistant is far more better right now than Bixby.

The last and the big change is to the User-Interface. Some people don’t like this but many people will because of Samsung Galaxy series TouchWiz overlay, which sits atop Android, has been maligned for years as too overbearing. Samsung has refining the experience of their user for years. Making their phone lighter to use, and this year it’s even more clear than ever without losing the Samsung Look. This new version of Samsung Galaxy is having smooth fonts, more clean and clear menus. Menus are even more natural looking this time, with little recommendations to what you might be looking for. And for more premium look the navigation buttons have also been altered.

Design

Let me get you through the design of this new device. You can get the more in-depth information about the design after viewing the hands-on video but still let me clear some main points about this device.

Most of the front of the Phone is covered by the Screen but after holding the device, we didn’t noticed any accidental taps anywhere because of this new display. Obviously they did some smart coding that won’t let that accidental taps happen.

Goodbye to Home Button

It’s time to say goodbye to home button as there is nothing visible on the front of the phone. But the phone now is having a Pressure-Sensitive button same like iPhone 7 where you can press where the home key WOULD have been, and you will also get a pleasant buzz too.

Fingerprint is next to Camera

The fingerprint scanner in this model is on the backside of the phone, the scanner is next to camera. And people are appreciating the face recognition or iris scanner to unlock the phone.

The outer rim of the phone is made up of fusing glass and metal. And its tough to find out hard edges under the finger. In short, it’s a total beauty made by Samsung and still after these changes, Headphones jack is still there and placed correctly.
