According to our mobile phone expert
With the Samsung Galaxy S8, you can fully enjoy your photos and videos. The 5.8-inch Quad HD display is nearly bezel-less, making the device look like one big screen. The Samsung S8 has a 12-megapixel rear camera with Dual Pixel technology. Thanks to this technique, you can also take clear photos in low-light conditions. The Samsung S8 also features an iris scanner. This allows you to unlock the phone just by looking at it.
This model is specially made for the Netherlands and supports additional Dutch software updates and NL Alert.

The best smartphone of the moment

A very beautiful device. The screen is beautifully integrated into the housing. In addition, almost the entire front is now screen, which makes use a lot more pleasant. Because of the screen I was afraid that it would not be comfortable in the hand, but the opposite is true: The device is very nice in the hand. I can still reach the top right side if it holds your device in one hand. However, it shouldn't have been bigger.
Unfortunately, not all apps have yet been adapted to this screen size, so that edges still arise in the app. *Fortunately, Samsung has made the option to stretch the apps. With some apps this is not very nice but it works. With most of the apps you don't even notice the difference. In a while the apps will probably be better respronsive which will solve this problem.
Due to the large screen, the fingerprint scanner no longer fits on the front and has therefore been moved to the back. The scanner is next to the camera, which is not a good choice in my eyes. You often hit the camera (especially in the beginning), making it dirty. The device indicates as soon as you want to take a photo that the camera is dirty, but that could have been prevented by placing the scanner elsewhere. Fortunately I have found a good solution. **The cover I have around it has a thickening around the scanner which makes it much easier to find the scanner.
I use my phone very intensively. Alarm clock, navigation (commuting), at work, and other activities. This will drain the phone just before the end of the day. Fortunately, the battery charges very quickly, so I haven't run into any real problems yet. What is annoying is that because of the new cable, you can get rid of all your old cables and have to replace them with new cables (at home, in the car, etc.).
The bixby button is completely unnecessary. If you swipe the screen to the right as soon as you've unlocked it, you'll get there. In addition, the button is in the way for my phone holder in the car.
The phone is also very fast, I can do several things on it at the same time, edit videos and render without any problems!
All in all, a top device. I am very satisfied with this purchase and after a few weeks my choice remains with this device.
