The Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+ flaunt essentially the same camera as their predecessors, consisting of a 12MP Dual Pixel sensor with f/1.7 aperture, OIS and phase detection autofocus. For selfies, they get 8-megapixel cameras with autofocus. Connectivity-wise, they offer Cat 16 LTE, dual-band Wi-Fi, USB Type-C, 3.5mm headphone jacks and GPS with GLONASS. The phones are also Gigabit LTE and Gigabit Wi-Fi ready. Additionally, they feature Dual Bluetooth Audio, allowing you to pair two headphones / speakers at the same time. On the software front, they boot Android 7.1 Nougat with the brand’s custom UI on top. The Galaxy S8 is fuelled by a 3,000mAh battery, while the Galaxy S8+ gets a bigger 3,500mAh cell. They also support wireless charging and Qualcomm’s Quick Charge 2.0 technology.
The Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+ feature an onscreen pressure sensitive home button instead of a physical button, with the fingerprint sensor moved to the rear next to the primary camera. Apart from this, the phones also offer Iris scanners and face recognition security features.
Samsung’s latest flagships ship with its new Bixbysmart assistant, which gets a dedicated button on the left side. They also come with support for the DeX dock, which lets you hook the phones up to a monitor and keyboard for a PC experience.
