Samsung has unveiled its reputation-saving flagship Galaxy smartphones – the Galaxy S8 and S8+.
The device appears to confirm pretty much all the leaks that appeared in the run-up to the launch, with the Galaxy S8 and S8+ packing 5.8in and 6.2in QHD+ resolution displays, achieving a pixel density of 570ppi and 529ppi, respectively.
Much like the LG G6, these near bezel-less ‘Infinity’ displays stretch across the entire front of the smartphones, with Samsung ditching the physical home button in favour of a pressure sensor that sits under the glass on the front of the handsets.
The fingerprint sensor has been moved to the rear of the phone, while the front houses what Samsung is touting as a “vastly improved” iris scanner.
The Galaxy S8’s display, like the display of the fiery Note 7, supports mobile HDR and comes with an 18:9 ratio. This means TV shows and films streamed to the smartphone will fill the entire display.
Samsung is keen to promote the Galaxy S8 as the first 10nm smartphone, beating Sony’s Snapdragon 835-powered Xperia XZ Premium to market.
Galaxy S8 owners in the UK will get Samsung’s homegrown Exynos 9 chip, which the company claims offers 27 per cent higher performance compared to its previous 14nm chip, while consuming 40 per cent less power.
This chip comes paired with 4GB RAM and 64GB storage, which can be expanded up to 256GB via microSD.
