Ok phone that is fragile
I've only had the phone just a little over a month and the screen is already cracked despite having it in a protective case. It fell off my knee onto the wood floor in my home, faced down. I was told that the cracked screen is not covered by the warranty.
Pros:
- Great camera
Cons:
- Easy to use

With a gorgeous 6.2-inch display and a design that needs to be seen, the Galaxy S8+ truly changes the smartphone conversation.

- Camera offers nice refinements...
Cons:
- Fingerprint sensor is in a horrible location
- Bixby isn't very useful or compelling

Samsung Galaxy S8+
I may sound a little lukewarm on the Galaxy S8+, but that's just because I can only name one of them our Editors' Choice. The S8+ suffers from a bit of the middle child problem that the iPhone 7 does, trapped between an eminently pocketable little sibling (the iPhone SE ) and a more capable big...
Pros:
- Longer battery life than the Galaxy S8
Cons:
- Bigger
- heavier
- and more expensive than the Galaxy S8

Galaxy S8+ review: 2017's best phone but even that screen can't make up for a few flaws
So what do we think of the Galaxy S8+? We think it's probably the best phone of 2017 so far, shading the LG G6 and Huawei P10 Plus and Mate 9. But it's not a unreserved recommendation; there are flaws here and not even the incredible display can mask them.
Pros:
- Brilliant 6.2-inch display
- Blazing fast performance
- Bluetooth 5/dual audio
Cons:
- Rear fingerprint reader placement
- Bixby needs to differentiate
- Face recognition hit and miss

Help Me, Tom's Guide! Should I Get a Galaxy S8 or S8+?
My other main reason for getting the S8+ is the battery life. Although our battery tests have shown that the S8's battery life is about a half hour shorter than that of the S8+, I want those additional minutes.

Another highlight of the S8+ is Bixby, a digital assistant much like Siri and Google Now. You launch Bixby by pressing the button below the volume rocker. Once activated, the phone launches Bixby Home , where a number of cards will be displayed.
Pros:
- Gorgeous design with enormous dual curved display in a small body
- Excellent camera
- Great benchmark performance
- IP68 build
- Iris scanning
- Edge panel functions on both S8 and S8
Cons:
- Awkwardly positioned fingerprint scanner
- Bixby is still a work in progress
- Pretty expensive
