Boundaries removed
The Infinity Display has an incredible end-to-end screen that spills over the phone’s sides, forming a completely smooth, continuous surface with no bumps or angles. It’s pure, pristine, uninterrupted glass. And it takes up the entire front of the phone, flowing seamlessly into the aluminium shell. The result is a beautifully curved, perfectly symmetrical, singular object.

Security that's foolproof
Prying eyes are not a problem when you have iris scanning on the Galaxy S8 and S8+. No two irises have the same pattern, not even yours, and they're nearly impossible to replicate. That means with iris scanning, your phone and its contents open to your eyes only. And when you need to unlock really fast, face recognition is a handy option.

Faster, even in rain
You never really stop using your phone. That's why Galaxy S8 and S8+ are driven by the world's first 10nm processor. It's fast and powerful and increases battery efficiency. Plus, there's the ability to expand storage, and to work through rain and dust with IP68-rated performance.

Say hello to Bixby
Bixby completely changes the way you interact with your phone. It's a personal assistant that understands talk, text, and taps so you're never confined to one mode of communication. It also completely changes the way you search. You don't even have to ask, just show Bixby what you want by opening your camera app. It's so incredibly easy.

The phone that breaks barriers
The Galaxy S8 and S8+ are designed to be more than just smartphones. They're designed to change how you capture and view your life and how you work on the go. Break down the barriers in your world with the Galaxy S8 and S8+.

Change your phone, easily keep your memories
From your photos and videos to your contacts and music, Smart Switch lets you easily transfer your memories from your old phone to your new Galaxy S8 and S8+. Now that you know all your memories are coming with you, you can focus on making new ones with your Galaxy S8 or S8+.

Technology for all

Samsung has started flexing its marketing muscle on the Samsung Galaxy S8/S8+ since its launched. Reviews from international tech blogs have come in and they are mostly positive. Here in the Philippines, we know it is going to sell. But the question that...

One of the biggest selling points of OnePlus devices in years past are the low price points. Compared to the high-end Samsungs, HTCs, and LGs of the world, OnePlus devices have traditionally carried price tags that are a few hundred dollars lower than th...

While these phones may be separated by up to a couple of hundred dollars, they are a lot closer than you might think. However, that doesn't mean that the cheaper price tag of the OnePlus 5 hasn't resulted in any compromises, and you can definitely tell wh...

Although Samsung appears to have escaped 2016 relatively unscathed from the issues experienced with the Galaxy Note 7, the pressure is still on for a highly successful 2017 flagship.I was recently able to spend a couple weeks with the Galaxy S8+, which...

As I have alluded to throughout this review, a few devices ago I owned a Samsung phone. That experience soured me on Samsung as it was probably close to their height of their overwhelming Touchwiz interface and I was disappointed in their ongoing support...

We regularly like to compare cameras between the latest smartphones, and there's a very good reason for that. Despite all the extra features, fancy screens and loud speakers, the camera is still likely the most important feature of any phone for most peop...

At the end of our test we have a winner, but not by a long shot. The HTC U11 has pulled ahead in 4 tests, while the OnePlus 5 comes in second place with 3 wins. Samsung's Galaxy S8 and LG's G6 both tie for third with a single win each, and these results a...

After the ill-fated recall of the Galaxy Note 7 last year, Samsung needed to up its game and do so in a sufficiently robust fashion so as to soundly thump any and all-comers vying for the smartphone throne. This, then is the sum of their efforts: the Gala...
