Why Should I Buy Samsung s8?
1. Design
The Galaxy S8 is the handset that will take Samsung’s market-leading series to a whole new level. It features an edgeless display, significantly improved sound quality with AKG headphones included in the box, and an extremely high screen-to-body ratio of 84%. If you want a phone on which no expense has been spared for form or function then this could be it!
2. Camera
The Galaxy S8 retains the same 12-megapixel rear camera that its predecessor was known for, keeping in line with their policy of “if it ain’t broken, don’t fix it”. The snapper still has a f/1.7 aperture and dual-pixel phase detect autofocus along with optical image stabilization to make sure each shot is as clear as possible. However, thanks to improved chipset capabilities they’ve also been able to introduce multi-shot image processing which captures multiple frames at once. When you click on the shutter button and then combine them together into one sharp frame.
3. Battery Capacity
The performance of the new battery is not too far behind that of the S7, as deWhen a looped video was played at 170cd/m2 brightness with flight mode enabled and set to mid-resolution (FHD+, or 1,080 x 2,220) it can last for about 16hrs 45mins. While the Samsung Galaxy S7 can run for 17hrs 48 mins and its Edge version held out even longer 18hrs 42minutes. Charging from zero to thirty-seven percent can happen within half an hour which can stand up well against some similar models such as the OnePlus 3T offering “a day’s worth of power”. Interestingly if you adjust your resolution settings either way there will be effects on performance. When dialed all the way up native resolutions drop stamina by seventeen percent. However, dropping down to HD+ promotes three more hours of use before needing to recharge again.
Conclusion
Since 2015, Samsung has placed an increased emphasis on design when it comes to the Galaxy S line. The result is a phone that looks stunning: with its 5.8in 1.85:9 curved edges and sleek finish. The style factor of this device truly stands out above all else, though battery performance isn’t as strong compared to previous generations and unlocking can be more complicated than necessary at times.
Despite these flaws, there’s no doubt that those wanting top-of-the-line specs won’t find anything better in terms of speed or cameras elsewhere. but whether they deem such features worth their money is up to them to decide based on personal preferences. Also, it is important to note that the price of the Samsung s8 can vary within regions and is subject to fluctuate with time.
