Sumsang cell phone has good function, reasonable price, it is good for personal use. I like it.

It lacks the Note 8's S Pen and its face scanner is less impressive than the one on the iPhone X, but otherwise this ticks all the high-end boxes, including a great screen, a premium design, lots of power and loads of extras.

+ Big; bright screen; + Loads of power; + Big battery

- Expensive; - Overly familiar design; - Face scanner isn't great

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

Excellent phone; Ease of use

No

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.

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

Awkwardly positioned fingerprint scanner; Bixby is still a work in progress; Pretty expensive

Swap from the S7 edge and can not be more than satisfied. The finger reader works well and does not understand what all the sites online are saying it's going to be difficult, no problem at all, top-of-the-line have a good camera display all you want and good battery life.

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

There’s no question the S8+ is a phenomenal phone - it’s got a truly top-notch camera, Retina-busting resolution, and a design to die for. The iPhone looks positively prehistoric in comparison. Is it better than its smaller brother, though? That’s tricky. This plus-sized beauty feels thoughtfully big, with Samsung putting in the right features and getting the design right so you can use all that space without it feeling unwieldy. But the screen isn’t dramatically bigger, and battery life is only slightly better. Whether those marginal gains are worth paying £100 extra for are entirely down to how much you value having slightly more screen space. To answer the question asked at the start of this review: bigger might be better - even if there’s not that much differentiation in the S8+’s case.

Stunning design is unbeatable by any other phone right now; Incredible performance that comes into its own with DeX Station; Camera quality among the best you’ll find in in a phone;

Size won’t be for everyone; Fingerprint sensor slightly awkwardly placed; £100 more than the already excellent S8;
