In some senses, the Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus doesn’t really deserve its own review. It’s much the same as the Samsung Galaxy S8 . It has the same features as its (slightly) smaller sibling; the same internals, camera, storage options, and screen aspect ratio and resolution.

The Samsung Galaxy S8+ is a super-sized version of the S8, with an absolutely incredible screen, and electrifying capabilities to match. It's the most powerful mobile device you can get your hands on, but the price is sky high too.

Samsung knows how to make a premium Android smartphone. For the past few years, every addition to their Galaxy

Samsung changed everything. Again. Well, maybe that’s not entirely correct. I suppose what I mean is that Samsung has changed how I feel about its phones again. For a long time Samsung was kind of just there.

Samsung's Galaxy S8 Plus is an excellent smartphone, which does not reveal any serious weaknesses. The new and almost bezel-less design already looks great on pictures, but it is even more impressive when you hold it in the hand.

great display, nice design, fast SoC, very good GPS performance, fast Wi-Fi, Gigabit LTE, good voice quality, comprehensive sensor equipment, USB 3.1 with DP, HDMI, and OTG, long battery runtime, Quick-charge and wireless charging, water and dust-proof, very good camera…

…but unfortunately not much improved over the predecessor, no dual-SIM, could support more LTE bands, bad position of the fingerprint scanner, SoC throttling under sustained workloads, warranty does not cover water damage

Even with its software faults, Samsung has crafted a gem of a smartphone with its Galaxy S8+. Its not hard to grasp, has nice viewing angles thanks to its edge to edge display and has sufficient battery and quick charging to accompany it.

Here are five reasons why the Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus is going to be my daily driver for the foreseeable future....

While it's a shame that picture and sound quality haven't been upgraded, the iPhone 13 was great in these regards and the iPhone 14 is, too Excellent display Admirable headphone performance Solid build quality No upgrades to picture or sound Familiar design Notch is still present

The Apple iPhone 14 is no match for the just-released iPhone 14 Pro, but if you ignore that, it’s one of the most effective phones around.

Great cameras, front and back, Fast performance, Good battery life, Innovative safety features

Design too familiar, Some average features

“The iPhone 14 isn't a huge upgrade compared to its predecessor. But with a great design, screen, performance, and cameras, that's far from a bad thing at all.”

Comfortable, high-end build, OLED screen looks fantastic, A15 chip performs great, Good camera upgrades, Dependable battery life, Helpful safety features

60Hz display, No telephoto camera, eSIM might be a pain for some
