when it comes to flagship phone hands-on I'd like to do a dramatic intro orderly I tell you all about the history of Samsung S series devices from the first S to the eighth iteration but this thing's been leaked like crazy so meet your old friend the Galaxy s8 there's some stuff here that's new that maybe it didn't know about but if somebody who's had a chance actually holds the device let me tell you what it's like to hold feel what the experience is like with Samsung's latest flagship any discussion about the Samsung Galaxy S they should start and stop with the screen so the s8 got big it's a five point eight inch screen but it's not as giant as you might think in fact 83% of the entire front of the phone is that beautiful AMOLED plus display nothing on the specs she's going to jump out the story here is more of how these part two work together for the whole but just so you're aware Snapdragon 835 in the US XE knows variants elsewhere that 5.8 inch quad HD plus the resolution of 29 60 by 1440 that gives it a really solid 570 PPI when it comes to battery life at least now you expect seems like to be really thoroughly spent a good portion the presentation talking about their eight point battery safety test so they didn't squeeze a gigantic battery in here focus a lot on making the battery just last longer and is a 3000 milliamp hour battery in the galaxy Fe so the camera on the SI it's going to make you either happy or bit disappointed it's the same sensor we saw on the note 7 the same sensor that's sitting on probably the phone on your desk the s7 or the s7 edge it's still a really good 12 megapixel shooter but would have liked the improvement especially on a new phone the approvement though were saved for the front megapixel sensor that's now eight megapixel with an F 1.7 aperture as steeple on Samsung phones has been that oval physical home button that is gone the home button moved to the back very curiously located next to the fingerprint sensor and you think about logistically how your hands going to sit when you tap that you're going to be smudging the heck at Atal megapixel sensor on the back that's not the only way you can unlock your phone though simply include the iris scanning technology we found galaxy s7 as well as crazy-fast face detection which as I tested you can see work like I said crazy fast there's now a pressure sensitive area on the bottom of the phone lets you access the home button so pretty much you can just press hard there in any app it'll take you home but when you are that home screen you'll see on screen back and most anybody also new here is Big B Simpson's new AI which you're going to hear a ton about over pretty much every Samsung device coming out over the next few years it's they're intelligent user interface and Samsung is claiming anything you can do with your finger you can do with your voice with big feet so bic we've got cognitive tolerance they'll kind of know what you're doing so if you're having a conversation with your friends and you say send the last picture it'll know to send the last picture that you took and i'll send it to that friend and one of the things I really like about Bixby instead of just saying I can't do that whatever you ask it allows you questions to get that job done underneath the big speak umbrella you also have big speed visions there's going to be a little button inside of the camera apps and tap that and it's going to centrally give you a grant to the reality point the camera at a restaurant I'll give you reviews pointed at a camera and yet electronic or device I'll tell you prices books you don't tell you it's adopted what it's going to be about you can do a lot of cool stuff and it should get better as the AI tends to learn more so storage on all the SH they're going to be 64 gigs but you can up that with a micro SD card of 256 or higher at a target support and other Samsung staples you'd expect you're also on board here you've got fast charging via USB see you've got fast wireless charging and of course ip68 I know a lot of you have knocked on Samsung for the software in the past and myself included they stepped out of their own way here the launcher looks good Samsung thing to stick with what they did well and took out a rest of the flock so the UI seems pretty solid this time around so aside from the Galaxy s8 and the SI plus stenciling unveiled a slew of new things to go along with them we've got a new Samsung Connect home it's a mesh Wi-Fi system with smart things built in Samsung decks is Samsung's desktop docking station essentially you get the power of the keyboard mouse all powered from your phone it's akin so what you've got with Microsoft's continuum they drop your phone in you're going to get full access to all of your stuff support for every droid app is going to be there they worked really closely with Microsoft to get support for full office and own windows as well as trying to get virtualization for Windows 10 coming also got a new gear VR through gear VR controller it's going to be backwards compatible with the obviously the s8 but the s7 or the note 5 with some adapters thrown in and the last new thing they announced is a gear 360 smaller it does 4k now actually livestream @qk got kind of a new bulb issue periscope edesign so that is the s8 and all of its accessories of friends if you want to learn more about the Galaxy s8 plus links that down below or we will link it on screen so go ahead and click it and take a look and as you guys going to pick one of these things up if you are
