Samsung has just made the Galaxy S8 and S8+, its flagship smartphone offerings for 2017, official. Both devices offer improvement in most aspects, including the processing speed and displays, compared to their predecessors. However, are those improvements massive enough for you to consider an upgrade?
The release of the Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S6 edge in 2015 marked an important milestone in Samsung’s smartphone design philosophy. The South Korean smartphone giant introduced a glass-and-metal build, dual-edge curved displays, and non-removable batteries to its premium smartphone lineup.
How much of an improvement do the Galaxy S8 and the Galaxy S8+ offer compared to the two-year old Galaxy S6 and S6 edge? Some of the notable improvements include a much faster processor, larger displays (and a complete move to curved displays in both the variants), an improved camera autofocus mechanism, IP68 dust and water resistance, and a lot of added security features.
