I give you the gaddafi s8 and as eight-plus the Galaxy s8 delivered on some great new features edge to edge HDR display iris scanner and faster processor put aside from that gorgeous screen it seemed like the s8 was holding back perhaps for an even more dazzling no date here's our list of let downs the s8 has a 12 megapixel primary sensor with optical image stabilization sound familiar that's because the hardware hasn't changed much since the s7 which we love by the way Samsung did add better image processing and a better front camera but it still seems like they could have done more to that main camera this doesn't have to mean a dual and setup like the g6 or the iPhone 7 plus but what about a better lens optical zoom depth sensing something aside from the actual size Samsung made no mention of the duration of the battery on the s8 and the s8 plus and it may be for good reason because those beautiful hd are infinity screens aren't going to power themselves and with no increase in battery size they're relying almost solely on a more efficient processor for extra juice so while fast charging and wireless charging you're great don't expect more hours of usage from these phones everyone me Bixby Microsoft s Cortana google has assistant Apple Siri and Amazon Alexa and now Samsung seems to think Bixby has what it takes to stand out in this sea of digital assistants in theory Bixby sounds great seamless integration with the s8 with its own dedicated Bigsby button visual translations and image recognition but in reality it could end up being just another Samsung feature you'll want to deactivate it will only work with a handful of samsung apps at launch it can't answer trivia questions and it overlaps with a lot of the things Google assistant already does better the truth is big speed is still a baby in the assistant world so we'll have to see how it matures over the coming weeks and despite the criticism the s8 may be one of the most drool-worthy devices we've seen all year so check out cnet.com for the full review
