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.

Exactly what I needed
Upgraded from the Galaxy S4 to the Galaxy S8 using Micro Center's online purchase. Smooth! Picking up my new smartphone was a breeze. Now about the S8. Yes, the bevel surface is a bit weird but I like it. Especially after I got a Samsung LED cover.
Great phone
I have owned this phone for about 4 weeks now. Its very sleek but also slippery. The long narrow screen and the glassy material front and back makes it easy to slip out of your hand or pocket. I case would simply resolve this issue.
Amazing bit of kit
Upgraded from my trusty old S3 that served me well for many years. Although this phone is two years old it is still a flagship. There have been little improvements from the S8 to the S9 to warrant the extra outlay. So jumped at Argos best price ever. This is phenomenal phone in every department.
Infinity Display The Infinity Display gives the Samsung Galaxy S8 the illusion of having no bezel on the sides. We see one piece of smooth glass that curves over the edges, to meet the aluminium shell.
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.
