The Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+: Everything you need to know.


The new Galaxy phones from Samsung released this year have evolved a lot and have lots of exciting features and functionalities under the hood. Both the phones have a stunning new design with the so called infinity display which looks gorgeous.


Not only design wise the Samsung has also stepped up a level and included their own AI called the Bixby Assistant powered by Samsung itself. These phones also include the Iris scanner from the Note 7 which helps you to unlock the device just by looking at it. 

The S8 and the S8+ also comes with the next generation processor which has a lot of horsepower and is said to consume less juice from the batteries.

Samsung has also announced a dock and a feature called DeX that is very similar to Microsft's Windows Continuum. "Samsung DeX is a unique solution that transforms your smartphone into a desktop by providing a secure desktop-like experience. With Samsung DeX, users can easily display and edit data from their phone, making working from a smartphone faster and smarter," the company said.


The fingerprint scanner of both the phones have been shifted to the back of the phone and now resides on the right side of the camera which is a bummer!

The Essential Phone.

The Essential phone tries  to keep up with the bezel-less smartphones of 2017, which has an edge to edge LCD display keeping a tiny chin at the bottom and just a small space for the selfie camera on top.
