| Samsung Galaxy S8 Vs The Rest Phones |
You will find thousands of articles about the hagiography of Samsung Galaxy S8 and I think it deserves the appreciation and applause. After the doomed Samsung Galaxy Note 7 the Samsung’s reputation was at stake and it was a challenge to make a perfect phone to come over the previous failure. They take it as a challenge and come back really strong and made this awesome phone “The Samsung Galaxy S8”.
Samsung Galaxy S8 short reviews
I won’t go deep so here is the shortest possible review of it. Premium and perfect design, the most noticing thing is its’ screen almost zero bezel around the screen, sharp and crisp display quality with an unusual 2960 x 1440 resolution with a pixel density of 571ppi and aspect ratio of 18.5:9.
The decision to keep almost negligible bezel on the front of screen forced the maker to place fingerprint scanner on the back beside the rear camera – a bad move as the scanner is right next to the camera (you may keep rubbing your finger on the camera lens ).
Gorilla Glass 5 on both front and back makes it extra strong and scratch resistance keeps your shiny for long. Samsung has put extra attention on the security system of the phone and takes the smartphone security to the next level with the iris scanner besides fingerprint, pattern, and password.
One thing that I think Samsung should have upgraded is the camera optics, the camera quality isn’t poor but other brands are using a dual camera and it sticks with the single rear camera and kept the one in S8 that they had used in the S7.
S8 is the Samsung’s first and the third in overall after iPhone and Google pixel to have personal voice assistant named Bixby, I don’t why they kept this peculiar tongue twister name?
The most promising thing about this phone is the Dex dock that converts your phone into a desktop. Maybe in future phones will take place of CPU. Dex dock new for Samsung but the Microsoft has already come up with the similar innovation but due to poor market of Lumia, Microsoft display dock didn't get much response from the users.
Samsung has played safe with the S8’s battery because they don’t want to do the previous mistake again and went with just 3000mAh battery, which has almost negligible chances of exploding but it will affect the battery backup of this phone.
I have written an article on Samsung Galaxy S8 about its’ features before its release so click on the highlighted name to know the features of it.
Samsung Galaxy S8 VS iPhone 7

| Samsung Galaxy S8 Vs Iphone 7 |
S8 has superior design, better display, bezel-less screen and premium feel and clearly beats in these categories. The iPhone’s design and look seem obsolete in front of Samsung Galaxy S8.
The S8 has better IP rating compare to iPhone 7 means better water and dust resistance. iPhone has a dual rear camera and a step ahead of S8 but Samsung S8 has the better F stop aperture rating at 1.7 and front camera with autofocus. Iphone’s voice assistant Siri has definitely a better name than Samsung’s Bixby.
Dex dock is something which has no competitor and it is beyond any competition. We were expecting that Samsung too will ditch the 3.5mm headphone jack but it didn’t and it is a plus point for S8 now the S8 owner don’t have to buy those expensive wireless headphone. All the Samsung lovers can take a breath of relief.
Samsung Galaxy S8 VS Google Pixel

Google Pixel loses in design to the S8 with a big margin and come nowhere near in terms of display and screen but have a better camera quality, battery life and in terms of overall performance. Pixel doesn’t have a memory slot so you cannot expand the storage but S8 have and gives you the freedom to use a memory card.
Google Pixel wins the battle due to pure-play Android Nougat OS and will get updates much faster than the S8 and we know why. Pixel’s battery life is also way better than S8. The S8 has a 3000 mAh battery due to previous incidents of battery explosion so this can be a problem for those who hang out a lot with their phones.
Bixby and Bixby Vision seem ahead of Google Assistant in terms of features so there is probability because we haven’t tested those features and yet to see if they deliver or not. So, as of now, S8 beats Pixel.
Samsung Galaxy S8 VS LG G6

LG G6 is the only phone till now that can stand in terms of bezel-less screen, aspect ratio, pixel density and display quality.
G6 has a dual rear camera and expandable memory like S8 but performance and design wise G6 can’t compete with S8. G6 can prove to be a tough competitor for S8 if LG advertises it well.
Samsung Galaxy S8 VS OnePlus 3T

| Samsung Galaxy S8 VS OnePlus 3T |
It’s an injustice to compare OnePlus 3T with S8 because 3T costs almost half of the price of S8, but 3T must take it as an honor because I have seen that 3T been constantly compared with big guys of phone industries and don’t disappoint you much.
In design, screen, IP ratings, and overall performance S8 is way ahead of 3T but pulls this battle back with a 6GB RAM, good camera optics, and better battery life. But OnePlus has to work hard on OnePlus 4 to take on S8.
Samsung Galaxy S8 VS iPhone 8/X/10/ Edition
Well, I wasn’t keen to compare S8 with an imaginary phone. We don’t know the specification and features of upcoming iPhone so it’s futile to compare S8 with a phone which is just in our mind. The real battle will be between the then released Samsung Note 8 and the new phone.
As per the rumors, the new iPhone won’t have a home button and nowhere on the screen. Thus the fingerprint scanner may shift the back of the phone.
