With two subsequent generations of Galaxy S phones now on store shelves, is the Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus still worth your hard-earned moolah? If you’re on the fence about whether to fork out for one of the newest Galaxy S models, like the Galaxy S10 and smaller Galaxy S10e or better to push your...

Stunning design, Great software experience, Camera is reliable in any light, The best screen on any phone

Bixby remains useless, Generally bad fingerprint scanner

In short, the Samsung Galaxy S8+ is a masterpiece. It's expensive, but it's a masterpiece nonetheless.

Excellent display for movie watching (will be even better when HDR content is available), Great camera, Refined and full-featured user interface, Option to avoid Samsung bloatware for best software experience yet, Eye-catchingly gorgeous design

Internal speaker isn't great, Bixby isn't fully realised, Rear fingerprint scanner takes a backseat to iris scanning, Bixby button feels like it could be doing something else

UPDATE: Better battery life and a bigger screen improve on excellence - and two new colours are available now too

A good upgrade from my S7, finger print scanner is now on rear of phone so is abit fiddly to use if like me you keep your phone in a case, other than that it's a great phone

Have had this phone a little over a year and am nothing but happy with it. Even after multiple drops without a case on it the screen is undamaged. Would recommend.

Bright display, Lightweight, Durable

Too big

I have loved the other Samsung Galaxy phones I've had but this one is by far my favorite! I love everything about this phone, it is easy to use and navigate, the screen size is perfect and it is very durable.

While Apple has long been considered the innovator of the smartphone business, the latest 2 generations of the iPhone were based on...

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

You have probably seen the TV commercials focusing on the new Infinity Display and it is rather stunning to hold a Galaxy S8 Plus with a 6.2 inch display next to a 5.5 inch iPhone 7 Plus and enjoy the narrower design and better form factor of the Galaxy S8 Plus.

Stunning display with no side bezels, Big display in device smaller than competitors, Multiple security features, including an iris scanner, Fast and wireless charging, microSD expansion card slot, High level water and dust resistance, Gorilla Glass 5 front and back panels

Tough to accurately tap fingerprint sensor, Fingerprints on back glass, Bixby voice control not ready at launch

What was once an impossible fantasy - a sketch in someone's book, a render of an ambitious concept - is now a reality. These are just some thoughts that come to mind holding the Galaxy S8+, the big and bold next step Samsung took.
