The highly anticipated Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+ have finally been revealed in New York, US. With the launch of multiple services and apps, as well as a stunning Infinity Display for immersive viewing experiences, the Galaxy S8 brings a new level of functionality and convenience.
In terms of displays, the Samsung Galaxy S8 carries a 5.8-inch display while the bigger Galaxy S8+ will have an even more massive 6.2-inch display for immersive viewing experience.
Both phones sport display with 2960×1440 resolutions and an unusual aspect ratio of 18.5:9 which makes the phone look rather long. Nonetheless, both devices still look sleek and classy, especially with the Infinity Display and bezel-less design form a smooth, continuous surface with no buttons or harsh angles.
The Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+ feature the same 12-megapixel Duo Pixel rear camera as the Galaxy S7, offering the same f/1.7 aperture as before.
Packing powerful performance and connectivity, the Galaxy S8 features the industry’s first 10nm processor, enabling heightened speed and efficiency. There’s 4G of RAM in the Galaxy S8 and S8+, although the brand statement claims that the RAM may differ by markets, we personally think that 4GB is more than enough.
In addition, Samsung added a new key on the phone, which will take you to the Bixby assistant.
With the new Bixby button, you will be able to conveniently access Bixby and navigate through services and apps with simple voice, touch, vision and text commands. For example, you can say “Send this photo to mother.” Or if you’re watching a video on your phone, you can say “Show this on TV,” and — if you have a Samsung TV — that video will show up on the big screen.
The Samsung Malaysia’s pre-orders for the Galaxy S8 and S8+ starting on April 11 to 13. The devices will be available starting April 21, in an array of colours including Midnight Black, Orchid Gray, Arctic Silver, Coral Blue and Maple Gold.
