Samsung Galaxy S8 Dual SIM SM-G950FD 64GB
Samsung Galaxy S8 is the new flagship phone from Samsung. The Korean company announced it on March the 29th 2016.
The screen measures 5.8 inches and almost covers the entire front area thanks to the curved edges and the removal of the physical home button. Samsung applies an Infinitive Design for the screen, which makes it appear larger than it is. The aspect ratio is slightly taller than most other phones at 18.5 x 9. This aspect ratio allows Samsung to offer split screens and therefore two apps can be viewed at the same time.
Galaxy S8 comes with Samsung's own voice assistant called Bixby and offers face recognition in addition to iris scanning and fingerprint sensor.

Review: Samsung Galaxy S8
How different, or better can you make an Android smartphone? After all, the glossy design, curved display and 12MP camera of the Samsung Galaxy S8 aren't that different from the Galaxy S7 Edge that only came out last year.
Samsung's Galaxy S8 could be the perfect phone. A little expensive, but offering incredible value for that price, the Galaxy S8 has a great camera, excellent performance, a battery that'll do most people all day, in a package that just works so well.
Gimmicks aside this is the best android smartphone you can buy
Where to start with a Samsung Galaxy S phone launch? These phones aim to be the very best on the market and in recent years, they've arguably succeeded. But Samsung has always had a habit of hyping them through the roof and sending them to market laden with gimmicky features that can range from...- Very pretty

- Superb camera
- Bixby virtual assistant is a joke
- Average battery life
