After months of speculations and leaks, Samsung Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus are now officially launched. There weren’t too many surprises regarding the shape and specs of these flagship devices.
Samsung’s launching ceremony of these handsets caught attention for all the right reasons. No one, apart from Apple, have so much respect in the world of technology.So, did Samsung do better this time, especially after the debacle of Note 7? Is Galaxy S8 a good option to upgrade your mobile phone? Let’s discuss the design, specs and other features to know.
Design
The big news is that there isn’t a home button anymore. Also, the logo has been removed from the front. This gives this handset a much more pronounced visual impact than ever before. As a result, screen-to-body ratio has gone up to approximately 83.6%. This is something that improves the display quite a lot.
In case you were wondering, the headphone jack is still there. Apple fans, take a note!
