Samsung has given customers a
preview of their new Samsung Galaxy S8. It has made new improvements to their
phone, by having a bigger screen, having a virtual assistant and being able to
convert to a computer. They have also
slightly changed their look in order to make the phone look like a new design
whereas Apple’s IPhone keeps having the same design.
The Samsung S8 is not bigger than
the S7, but rather Samsung has gone away with the frame that holds the screen
therefore they no longer have a home button, and they have increased the amount
of pixels present on the screen. They also developed another model that is
bigger in case the 5.8-inch screen is not big enough for some users.
Samsung has moved its finger print
reader to the back of the phone, so users have to be careful not to touch the
screen. They have also found new ways to unlock the phone by using a face read
or an iris scan. The phone is water-resistant and uses the new standard USB-C
plug in order for it to charge. Samsung has also opted to keep their headphone
jack and expandable memory (which IPhone does not have). The back camera
remains the same as the one from the S7. The talking assistant, Bixby, will be
able to do all of the tasks that you would do by touching the phone just by
hearing your voice. Bixby will be able to adjust brightness, identify products
by using the camera, and be able to be used in some of the apps.
Samsung has also added an adapter
to convert the phone into a computer, but it might run into some issues with
some applications not being mobile friendly. They are hoping the Samsung S8,
will replace the memory of the explosive Note 7, and give it a better advantage
from their competitors like the IPhone and Pixel.
Very interesting! I also read an article about the S8 in reference to potentially stealing iPhone customers. It should be interesting!
