Let me make one thing brutally clear I love Eeros wifi routers. I love how the company brought mesh networking into the mainstream. I love how the hardwares. Physical DesignThe core idea behind the Galaxy S8. Robert Kim, vice president of Samsungs global product strategy team, told me at Samsungs headquarters in Korea. The contradiction is that customers want to have a bigger screen size but a small form factor, Kim added. By shrinking bezels and bending edges, Samsung makes that happen. The Galaxy S8 is proportionately tall and narrow. Its also very slippery, so youll want a case. It measures 5. 8. Thats taller than the Galaxy S7 5. S7 only has a 5. 1 inch screen to the S8s 5. The idea is youre going to use it in one hand. Its easy to wrap your fingers around the S8, even if you have relatively small hands. But youre still going to be shifting it up and down in your hand more often than you would with the S7 or the i. Phone 7, to reach all of the vertical stretch of the screen. Almost all of the front face is the 5. Super AMOLED display, which Ray Soneira at Display. Mate has said in a comprehensive report is the best one on the market. Its bright and glowy, with saturated colors and great blacks. Its also a little smaller than Samsung says it is, because of the new 1. Most phones are 1. S8 is taller and narrower than they are. Its even narrower, proportionately, than the LG G6, which is 2 1. The S8s screen is 1. I call that SQUID, or square inches of display. On a standard 1. 6 9 aspect ratio phone, you get the same real estate in a 5. So I think you should consider the S8s screen on par with the 5. Galaxy S7 Edge and i. Phone 7 Plus. Above the screen, a notification LED blinks if you have unread notifications or a low battery. Theres a new button on the left side. Its there to activate Bixby, Samsungs voice assistant. On the bottom theres a single speaker, along with a USB C port and a standard 3. The speaker sounds richer and less tinny than the S7s does. Its also about 1d. B louder at its maximum volume. The phone comes in three colors black, gray, and silver. I received black review units, and they get very smeary on the back. Its especially an issue because the fingerprint sensor is on the back right next to the camera lens, and while theres a slight ridge between them, its almost unnoticeable. That means you will definitely smear the camera lens when you go to use the fingerprint scanner. The phone is waterproof, which will be a relief to many. But the all glass body seems a bit fragile. Samsung said that by using Gorilla Glass 5 with a more gentle curve than on the Galaxy S7 Edge, its made the phone more durable. At its manufacturing plant in Gumi, Korea, it showed me a four foot drop test. Still, though, that glass back will be inherently more breakable than a metal back, and Samsungs curved glass is expensive to replace. Compared to the S7, component wise, durability is a 4. Kim said. Device wise, its around 2. Using the Screen. The Galaxy S8 has no physical home button. Instead, you press on the screen where you see a home button icon, and you feel a little bit of haptic feedback. It works just fine. The app drawer icon is gone, tooto get the app drawer, you swipe up from the home area. It takes a little getting used to. The aspect ratio definitely creates issues with third party apps. You. Tube videos, for instance, either have black bars on the sides, or get zoomed and cropped into full screen mode. Samsung Mobile CEO DJ Koh said Facebook has already updated for the new size, and, All of our major partners are working on it. On a settings screen called Full Screen Apps, I found that many text oriented information and social networking apps, such as Microsoft Office, Trip. Advisor, and Marvel Unlimited, are optimized for the tall screen, while most games are not. Everything runs, it just might not use the whole display. Launching an un optimized game such as Mini Metro displays the game with black bars on either side of the screen. Galaxy S7. 1. 6 9 TV shows, on the other hand, have visible pillarboxing. Launching a 1. 6 9 video in You. Tube gives you the option to pillarbox the video, or to zoom and crop into full screen mode, but that forces part of the image off of the screen. This is similar to the experience on the LG G6. Phone Calls, Networking, and Storage. Yes, the Galaxy S8 makes phone calls. It has whatever your carriers latest phone calling techniques are like HD Voice, Vo. LTE, and Wi Fi calling and calls sound clear, with aggressive noise cancellation in the microphone. I was especially impressed with the speakerphone volume when the Extra Volume button is pressedthe voice blasting out of the bottom ported speaker is easily hearable outdoors. The rest of the networking alphabet soup is supported as well. Theres dual band Wi Fi 8. I found worked about as well with our Netgear router as the Galaxy S7 does which is to say, very well. The phone has NFC and MST, so you can do mobile payments even with old school magnetic credit card readers that dont support tap to pay. ANT is on board for certain smart home devices. This is the first phone with Bluetooth 5, which can potentially transmit to devices 1. However, there are no other Bluetooth 5 devices out there to test the S8 against yet. The phone comes in one size, 6. GB with 4. GB RAM, and theres also a micro. SD card slot tucked in with the SIM slot, which can handle 2. GB cards. Samsung still doesnt support Googles Adoptable Storage mode, so the card will appear as a separate storage device. But you can move apps to the SD card from one of the settings pages. About 1. 0. 7. GB of the phones storage is taken up by the system and non deletable apps. Battery Life. Battery life is far better in real world practice than it is in our benchmarks. With the same size battery as the S7 3,0. Ah driving a larger, brighter screen, I got considerably shorter time on our screen blasting LTE video streaming test 5 hours, 4. Xp Home Sp3 Oem Keygens. S8 compared with the S7s nearly 9 hours. That made me uncomfortable, so I tried some other scenarios. Dropping the screen resolution to 1. Dropping to half brightness got twelve and a half hours. In real life use over several days, with the screen generally at around half brightness, the S8 had no problem lasting through the day each time. In general, I ended up with about 3. The Google Pixel has a 1. S8s screen to the same resolution, you get about the same usage time. But the Pixel is better at not draining battery in standby. The i. Phone 7 has shorter screen on usage time, but its more efficient in standby and playing audio. The good news is that the S8s quick charging feature is very quick. The phone charges from zero to 1. I got to 1. 5 percent charge in 1.
