Samsung Smartphone Galaxy S8 64GB UK Version - Midnight Black

Product Information

Fast Charging from Galaxy Tab S8 Series is limited to Galaxy S22 Series, Galaxy A53, Galaxy A33 and Galaxy Tab S8 Series, using a Type-C cable. The power source is determined on a random basis when sharing battery power between Galaxy Tab S8 Series. Outside a few software updates intended to improve detail under unfavourable lighting conditions, the main camera is identical to that on the Galaxy S7. This is not a problem, as that phone has one of the best snappers on the market. You get a 12 MP rear camera with f/1.7 aperture, CMOS sensor, 8x digital zoom, phase detection autofocus, 4K video recording and all the other cutting-edge features you've come to expect of this brand. The Galaxy S8 includes all the latest connectivity options including Gigabit LTE and Gigabit WiFi. You also get dual-band WiFi and Bluetooth 5.0. This latter option is the first version of Bluetooth capable of delivering audio to two separate devices simultaneously. Armour Aluminium is cased on all metal components, excluding the display, side keys, and the SIM tray. Actual user memory will vary depending on the mobile phone operator and may change after software upgrades are performed.

In addition to the near bezel-less design, the screen stands out due to its aspect ratio of 18:5:9. This means the phone is much taller and narrower than mobiles with conventional 16:9 ratios. It measures 149 x 68 x8 mm.

On the software side, the phone runs the Android 7.0 Nougat operating system out of the box. This is skinned with a much toned down version of TouchWiz that shows some major improvements. The homescreen is covered with fewer app shortcuts and the settings menu is clearer and easier to navigate, though you have plenty of redundant pre-installed apps to deal with.

Plan Benefits

The front camera has been upgraded to 8 MP and includes HDR, autofocus, LED flash and face detection amongst numerous other features. Connectivity and Battery Life This scratch-resistant, shatterproof display features quad HD 2560 x 1440 resolution, resulting in an outstanding pixel density of 570 ppi. Viewing angles, brightness and sunlight visibility are excellent, and the issue of accidental "tapping" due to handling the phone (a minor annoyance on the S7 Edge) has been fixed. Due to the amazing screen-to-chassis ratio, the hallmark Samsung home button is now virtual. For this reason, the brand has added a feature similar to Apple's Force Touch.

Samsung was understandably conservative when it came to the battery. The S8 gets a 3000 mAh battery that struggles to make it through even a single day under moderate use. You'll likely need to top up in the late afternoon, but fast charging and wireless charging options limit this inconvenience.
