7 Major Features in Galaxy S8 and S8+

1. Infinity Display

Samsung calls its display in S8 and S8+ as “Infinity Display” and it takes about 83% of the screen. The side bezels are barely there, as was the case last year, but the real story is the significantly thinned bezels above and below the display. Now, add Quad HD+ display of 2960×1440 resolution (570 PPI for S8 and 529 PPI for S8+) we have an absolutely gorgeous and the most stunning smartphone screens yet.

2. Desktop Experience Via DeX

With the announcement of DeX docking station, you can now connect your Galaxy S8 or S8+ to a monitor, keyboard and mouse and use it as desktop. The desktop-optimized Android experience is lightning fast and it actually looks and feel a lot like Chrome OS, for obvious reasons.

You can use any Android app installed in your phone in the desktop mode. Samsung has optimized their own apps for the Desktop Experience. In addition, Samsung has worked with Microsoft and Adobe to make Office and Lightroom apps to provide an experience that would feel like native desktop apps.

3. Iris scanner

Although Microsoft is the first one to introduce an Iris scanner in Lumia 950 and 950XL, their handsets does to sell well for anyone to talk about it. Now, Samsung decided to spice up things by including an iris scanner in S8 and S8+. You can take advantage of it to improve the security of your device by using it to unlock the phone, paying using Samsung Pay or to gain access to the handset’s Secure Folder.

4. Face recognition

In addition to Iris scanner, Samsung has added another security option to the S8 and S8+ — a full facial recognition using the upgraded 8-megapixel front-facing camera. However, the feature has limited use in unlocking your phones.

5. Bixby & Google Assistant

The Galaxy S8 and S8+ comes with both Google Assistant and Samsung’s own Bixby personal assistant. You can choose between Bixby and Google Assistant to help your day-to-day life.

Samsung says that Bixby is not a simple Digital Assistant designed to rival Siri or Cortana. The company aims to turn Bixby into a new intelligent interface for their devices, which makes it fundamentally different from your Google Assistant, Siri, Cortana, or Alexa.

6. Bixby Vision

The Bixby Vision is an extension of Samsung’s personal assistant, Bixby.  Bixby Vision uses object recognition, text recognition and location data to add another layer of functionality to the personal assistant. Using the phone’s camera, Bixby can “see” objects or points of interest and offer information pertaining to them.

Bixby Vision can also translate text in real time in more than 50 languages. Samsung says, they will release an SDK for third-party developers to use Bixby Vision in their apps.

7. Wireless Charging & Fast Charging

While wireless charging and support for fast charging is not a new feature and Samsung flagship phones have supported have them for years, we feel these features are important to mention them here. The Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ ship with wireless charging support as well, of course, including Qi and Samsung’s own fast wireless charging tech. Now, you charge the large 3,000 mAh and 3,500 mAh batteries in no time.
