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 S8 has a 12-megapixel rear camera with Dual Pixel technology, which helps you take clear photos in low-light conditions. The Galaxy S8 also features an iris scanner. This allows you to unlock your phone by just looking at it.

When you look at the Galaxy S8 it looks fantastic but once you have it in your hands and use it for a while the trouble starts :/
The curved screen edges are not for me at all because anyway you touch the screen (accidentally and unwanted) regularly and I find that so annoying! I think it is a pity that Samsung has not opted for 2 variants, just like with the S7 series, namely one with a curved screen and one with a flat screen!
There is a new(er) chipset in the device (based on 10 nanometers) that ensures economical use of the battery, but the battery capacity of 3000 mAh compared to a 5.8 inch screen is ON-DO-THE, at least for me! I would have liked the Galaxy S8 to be slightly thicker if only they had inserted a thicker battery. Other brands can do that, so Samsung could have realized this perfectly.
This device has a new screen ratio, namely 18.5:9 (for your information: almost all smartphones have a 16:9 screen ratio) which makes the screen narrower but longer; The problem with this new screen ratio is that when you watch videos or play games, the screen suddenly shrinks (up to 5 inches when you have a 5.8 inch screen for God's sake!) because 90% of all videos and games available on this currently based on 16:9 screen ratios. In the past, smartphones mainly had a screen ratio of 4:3 and the transition from 4:3 to 16:9 took almost 3 years! How Samsung will make this transition I really don't know, so people will have to crop (reduce or enlarge) the videos and games for a long time and I find that quite annoying because when you crop a video on the Galaxy S8 you lose content in your videos, at least I hope they find a solution to this as soon as possible but I'm afraid it will take a long time this transition.

Fits well in the hand. Easily lasts 1.5 days on battery that charges super fast. Your mouth just falls open from the screen and is a Chick magnet on the playground. Only screen protectors ensure that the touchscreen only works halfway... calling etc works well too
