On the right side of the phone, you have a power button, which will also launch the camera if you double click it. Samsung Galaxy S8 sports a USB Type C port and a 3.5mm audio jack at the bottom side of the phone. Sometimes, the home button will disappear when you are in some apps, you just have to press and hold the bottom of the screen to make it visible again. With the physical home button gone, the Samsung Galaxy S8 sports an onscreen home button (with haptic feedback). The left and right ends of the glass are curved as well as the four corners.
The display is covered in curved Corning Gorilla Glass 5. The brilliant 5.8-inch Super AMOLED display offers a resolution of 1440 x 2960 pixels. The fact that the Samsung Galaxy S8 is almost bezeless also helped a great deal in making it more compact. The Displayĭespite offering a bigger screen, the Galaxy S8 is smaller in size when compared with the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge. This enabled Samsung to put a big screen in a smaller body, making the phone comfortable to handle. Removing the home button, created space that allowed the Samsung Galaxy S8 screen to be stretched downwards. This means that the fingerprint sensor has now moved to the back beside the rear camera. One of the biggest design shift is that the home button has been removed. The entire front is covered with Corning Gorilla Glass 5. Samsung Galaxy S8 features a gorgeous glass and metal design. are the 2019 members of the Galaxy S Series. Samsung Galaxy S10 and Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus.

I've also noticed that the iris scanner, while it still needs to have your eyes in its sights, doesn't need to be perfectly aligned the way the Note 7's did I can have my hands close to my chest and tilt the phone up towards me, and as long as my eyes are in the viewfinder it unlocks most of the time. That said, I've been impressed with its ability to unlock in low light - the iris scanner likely uses a combination of the dedicated infrared sensor and front-facing camera to get a match - which had led to considerably fewer moments of frustration. On the Galaxy S8, I've found iris scanning to be very reliable and quite fast most of the time, though not as instantaneous as a fingerprint sensor or face unlock.
Iris scanning on the Galaxy S8 is at least twice as fast as the Note 7, and fails less in low light. It's also much, much faster than before - which is good, because the damn thing needed it. The iris scanner has made a return to the Galaxy S8 after it ignominiously disappeared in the Note 7 last fall. Iris scanning is a more secure form of biometric authentication, and is likely more secure than a fingerprint since it is basically impossible to recreate, even using the most advanced methods. And the 8MP front-facing camera inside the Galaxy S8, which has autofocus and is therefore much more likely to find a subject lock. First, the Galaxy S8 is just plain fast - its Snapdragon 835 or Exynos 8895 chips have incredibly advanced image signal processors that perform the work in a fraction of the time it took just a few years ago. On the Galaxy S8, this works incredibly quickly - far quicker than any other face unlock method, and often more quickly than the fingerprint sensor - for a couple of reasons. But it was still a great idea worth pursuing.įace scanning works by taking a photo of your whole face, and using the front-facing camera to match specific details to the live photo in front of it. The Galaxy Note 7's iris scanner failed a lot. So Samsung decided to bring back the face scanner in the Galaxy S8, and improve upon Google's implementation in a number of ways. But because the scanner actually matched the details from the inside of your eye against a stored copy - which is nearly impossible to duplicate or imitate - it worked slowly, and often failed. When the Galaxy Note 7 was released last year, it arrived with a fair amount of buzz surrounding its iris scanner.
