Design and display
Go big or go home
The Galaxy S8+’s expansive Quad HD infinity display is 6.2-inches – which is one of the biggest screens ever to feature on a smartphone. Its curved edges flow around the side of the device – making it seem like the screen goes on forever.
Impressive design
The Samsung Galaxy S8 is big and beautiful. It’s expertly crafted from a combination of glass and metal, with the curved display blending seamlessly into the frame.
Next-level privacy
As well as a fingerprint scanner, located on the back of the smartphone, there’s an iris scanner adding an extra level of security. The intelligent sensor reads the unique patterns of your eyes, letting you unlock the phone by simply looking at it.
Camera
Picture perfect, night and day
Samsung’s Dual Pixel camera is designed to capture great photos, filling them with light and colour. The wide f/1.7 aperture lets in lots of light, so even in low-light situations, you’re guaranteed a great shot.
Autofocus selfies
The 8MP front-facing lens has autofocus technology built in, to make sure each and every selfie is perfect to post. It can also record video at Quad HD resolution, so your video calls will be crisp, clear, and life-like.
Under the hood
Room to breathe
The Samsung Galaxy S8+ has 64GB of storage – plenty of room for apps and games, and movies too. And if you do find yourself running low on space, you can add a microSD card of up to 256GB.
Days of battery
On the inside there’s an impressive 3,500mAh battery, which can be powered up quickly using USB Type-C fast-charging technology. It’s more than enough to see you through the day, and with Samsung’s power saving mode, it’ll stay up and running as late as you do.
All-round protection
The S8+ is certified as IP68. This means that the smartphone is protected against water and dust and can be submerged in fresh water, to a depth of 1.5m for up to 30 minutes, without any damage to its performance.
Samsung Galaxy S8+ FAQS
Following announcement on 29 March, we expect the Samsung Galaxy S8+ to be available to order from Carphone Warehouse around mid-April.
The main difference between the S7 edge and S8+ is the screen. The S8+’s infinity display measures 6.2-inches from corner to corner, compared the S7 edge’s 5.5. The best thing about this, however, is that Samsung has managed to keep the handset more or less the same size.
The aspect ratio of the Samsung Galaxy S8+’s screen is 18:5:9. Compared to the S7 edge’s, which was 16:9.
With every Samsung Galaxy S8+, you’ll receive a pair of earbuds tuned by AKG in the box as standard.
Samsung’s first home-grown virtual assistant is called Bixby. It lives inside the new Galaxy S8+, and it’ll be arriving in the UK later this year.
