S8 Review
Design
The design of Galaxy S8 starts from the inside out. It is comfortable to hold in hand. The surface is smooth and without bumps. The display glass flows with a continuous surface surrounded by the aluminium casing. So, an entirely regular and well-curved phone comes here for you.
Fine-Tuned Photography
Taking a perfect selfie is always a dilemma for everyone. Now, with Galaxy S8’s Smart Auto Focus technology, you can track the faces easily. Its F1.7 lens adds another star to its ranking and brings the brighter photographs even in a darker atmosphere.
Security
Samsung is always concerned for the individual privacy. So, it introduced “iris scan” technology in the Galaxy S8. This unique technology recognizes the round coloured area of your eyes. So, it becomes impossible for others to replicate it. Other security measures include Face Recognition, Fingerprint, Pattern lock, password and PIN lock.
Performance
An incredible faster performance of Galaxy S8 is due to its 10nm Processor that consumes 2% less power. It makes the files transfer between your S8 and any other phone very convenient and a lot faster. The 10nm Processor is the most advanced processor of the world, and you find it in Galaxy S8.
So, downloading, moving from one to another app and even charging the phone becomes incredibly faster. Galaxy S8 is IP68 rated. So, it does not matter if you use it while swimming in the pool or while exploring a dusty area.
Bixby
Bixby is here at your service all the times. Your assistant Bixby checks emails and responds them, finds a product or location, finds out your desired restaurants and even translates the relevant documents as per your instructions. Just turn it on and leave the rest of the things to Bixby.

Battery Life
