Three months on, here are my favorite Galaxy S8+ features - SamMobile

I've used every flagship Samsung smartphone that has released over the past three years, including the Galaxy S5. Earlier, I had also used the Nexus S, Galaxy S2, and the Galaxy Nexus as my primary devices. Now, I've switched from concluding twelvemonth'south Milky way S7 edge to the Galaxy S8+. My colleagues Josh and Adnan have already written about what they like nearly the S8+ and the features that have fabricated their life easier, and in this post, I'g listing out myfavorite features of Samsung's vi.ii-inch flagship after more than than three months of using the device.

Infinity Display & New Home Button

Undoubtedly, the best thing about the Galaxy S8 and the Milky way S8+ is their virtually bezel-less, Infinity Display. Information technology's big, vivid, and colourful, and makes everyone get wow. HDR videos look brilliant, simply I was only able to exam a few brusque clips and pic trailers. Netflix should presently bring back up for HDR videos on the Galaxy S8.

Compared to other bezel-less phones like the LG G6 and Mi Mix, the Galaxy S8+ looks more similar a finished product. I as well love the fact that Samsung has finally moved away from physical navigation keys. The new pressure sensitive home push button works well to supersede the concrete i, but I wish Samsung had managed to implement an in-screen fingerprint sensor.

Reliable Cameras

Whenever I think of buying a new telephone, I desire it to have a ameliorate, but most importantly, a reliable photographic camera. Samsung'due south smartphone cameras have shown a consequent step upwardly since the company started using OIS on its phones. The Milky way S8 is the third-generation Galaxy South series phone to characteristic an optically stabilized camera.

Even though on-newspaper photographic camera specs haven't changed much, I've noticed that the Galaxy S8 captures slightly amend pictures than the Galaxy S7 could, thanks to more processing power at hand. Multi-frame processing makes certain that images in low-light conditions are sharper and have better colours. The yellow tint that was noticeable in the Milky way S7's images is nowhere to exist seen now. 4K videos are electronically stabilized as well, making them look smoother.

Camera Comparison: Galaxy S8 vs. the Milky way S7

The selfie camera is much better, too, cheers to the increased resolution and autofocus support. The Galaxy S8+ consistently captures clearer images and stable 4K videos. Only like the Galaxy S7, the Galaxy S8 has a class-leading camera, and I love it.

Secure Binder

Secure Folder debuted with the Galaxy Annotation vii, but the phone was never released in India, so I got to use this feature for the first time on my Milky way S8+. It has now go one of those features that I use on a daily basis. I can easily hide sensitive or private files using Secure Binder. Information technology's quite easy to gear up up and use, and it works with iris and fingerprint.

Since the Milky way S8+ is a dual-SIM phone (at least in India), I've likewise set up two WhatsApp accounts using Secure Binder. I think every smartphone maker should have a feature like this. I am surprised neither Apple nor Google have released such a feature yet. In fact, you tin can now use the app on other Samsung phones running Android 7.0.

Audio Quality & AKG-tuned Earphones

Different Apple and HTC, Samsung didn't focus too much on improving the loudspeaker quality of its phones. The Galaxy S7 border had a pretty average speaker. The Galaxy S8+ has a better one, though. There is some improvement in book and depth in the audio. I wish Samsung launches the Galaxy Note 8 with stereo loudspeakers, though, especially since the iPhone 7 Plus and the HTC U11 accept kickass stereo setups.

The South Korean smartphone giant has improved audio quality through the earphones. Not only did it use better amplifiers for higher ability, merely the company also started bundling pretty great in-ear earphones. They are tuned by AKG, and I recollect they're some of the all-time earphones (bundled) I've ever used. Good that Samsung acquired Harman final year and is collaborating with the visitor for improved sound on its phones too every bit tablets.

UI Customization

Samsung has improved a lot when it comes to UI customizability. It has 1 of the best collections of theme packs, which can be downloaded through the company's Theme Shop. At that place'south something for everyone. I've downloaded a few Material UI themes and some squircle-shaped icon packs to jazz upwardly my telephone equally per my liking.

There'due south a swell drove of wallpapers as well equally icon packs in the Theme Store. If you don't similar switching to a whole new theme, y'all tin just download wallpapers and icon packs. You can now also customise the look of the phone using full-colour Always On Display wallpapers.
