getting a sneak peek of that hot Austin Evans video before it goes live your guys Johnson here this is an abnormally long microphone more importantly though this is the brand new Galaxy s8 but before you pick one up here are 10 things to know so first up and maybe most importantly the Galaxy s8 should not explode now yeah I get it sounds funny it's easy to joke about but this is a huge deal and Samsung cannot afford to have a repeat situation after the whole notes 7th Fiasco during the announcement Samsung did not shy away from the whole battery deal they affect embraced it and announced moving forward they now have an eight point battery inspection in place which again some people are going to joke and laugh at it right now to tip my hat to Samsung for handling it so well now the second thing to know is there's not only just a Galaxy s8 there is also a Galaxy S 8 plus now surprisingly the Galaxy s8 and f8 plus are more similar than you might expect and there really are only two differences between them the first of which is the screen size the Galaxy s8 is rocking a 5.8 inch display while the Galaxy s8 Plus is rocking a 6.2 inch display they're both rocking 4 gigs of ram 64 gigabytes of internal storage both have micro SD card expandability and really the only other difference between the two is the battery capacity the Galaxy s8 features 3000 milliamp hours for the galaxy s 8 plus is going to get you slightly more at 3500 now where it gets interesting though is despite having the difference in the screen size both of these share the exact same resolution come in at 29 60 by 1440 so that actually leads me to point number 3 which is the fact that these screens are freakin beautiful if you're out there wondering what's the heck kind of resolution is 29 60 by 1440 it's actually very similar to what we saw on the LG g6 Samsung just decided to change it up ever so slightly so if the g6 I introduced an extra long 18 by 9 display for you mathematicians out there yes I know it is two by one with the Galaxy s8 and FA plus however this is slightly longer at eight and a half by 9 so Samsung is screwing up math for everybody so the idea behind the extra tall display is it's gonna give you more screen real estate and more room for activities when you're playing around with apps and multitasking as far as consuming media and watching video it is still a little bit weird considering the fact that most of out there is geared for 16 by 9 but honestly I really like what Samsung and LG are doing with the taller displays which you also may have noticed as the Galaxy s8 n f8 plus looks very similar to what we've seen in the past on something like the galaxy s7 edge Samsung is governess the infinite display essentially with that fancy-pants buzz light your name you means is the display is now edge to edge effectively getting rid of the pixels and my goodness it looks good now next up at number four something that may freak people out because of that infinite endless display there is no physical home button so we've seen Apple implement this with the iPhone 7 and 7 plus and if you use those you kind of have an idea of how it works and how it feels but if this is new to you it is kind of weird at first 3 personally I don't mind it at all since of something I'm used to but I know a lot of people out there really love their physical home button so let me know what you guys think with a comment down below now one thing I've noticed is that the infinity display is almost kind of had this butterfly effect on everything because of the display there is no physical home button and because there is no physical home button there is now no longer a fingerprint reader on the front of the phone now if you're freaking out wondering did they remove the fingerprint reader nope they just moved it to a stupid awkward place on the back there are a ton of things that I really like about the galaxy s 8 and s 8 plus but the location of the fingerprint reader simply doesn't make sense for reasons I have no idea why it is placed off to the side next to the camera which makes it kind of awkward to access this may definitely change after using it for an extended period of time but right now I kept wanting to press the camera and nobody wants to finger prints on their camera now next up number 5 like most Samsung phones the camera on this thing looks like it's going to be awesome as far as the rear shooter goes this is rocking a 12 megapixel sensor F 1.7 with oh is now I will say I was only able to view the photos back on the phone itself and not look at them on a computer but initial impressions so far that the camera is really sharp as far as the front camera goes Galaxy s8 features a pretty impressive 8 megapixel sensor upfront it's got a nice wide lens and again like the rear facing camera initial impressions are solid and just in case you ever thought to yourself man I wish my phone had some slightly weird snapchat light filters built-in now the Galaxy s8 you got it so next up at number six is the iris scanner which is going to scan your eyes to unlock your phone so this is actually introduced to the galaxy note 7 we of course know what happened there but it is brand new to the Galaxy S line now as far as the iris scanner goes that always wasn't the quickest option to unlock your phone but in addition to that Samsung has now rolled out face unlock which is much much faster I got a chance to check that out for myself and it was pretty much instantaneous you got to really pay attention when you're watching the video but if you're looking for a really speedy quick way to access your phone face unlock works well so there's stuff at number 7 joining me right now is often always wears a small veterans secret to game wear size down actually number 7 the galaxy s 8 surprisingly features a headphone jack that makes it a pad phone though that's not true I thought all good phones had to have no headphone jack isn't that oh my god now you read the 2017 Tim Cook is brain washed off today you can't have a headphone jack and Tim Cook has been how it works Tim Cook has brain washed off and ends up out of cramp huh got a cramp ken what'd you do Dan witchcraft that's a business in addition is a headphone jack there is also now USB C on the Galaxy s8 just like in solid note 7 personally I am a huge fan of USB C and I wish everything had it so to be one simple beautiful form factor technology advancement next up number eight after that disaster no surprise here with the Galaxy s8 NSA plus feature wireless charging now I know someone out there right now is rapidly typing through their keyboard wireless charging stupid no one uses it well that may be true the one plus I can see to this is that the wireless charging dock that go alongside the Galaxy s8 looks really really nice and I would love to see that on a desk next up at number nine just like wireless charging no surprise here the Galaxy s8 is ip68 water and dust resistant it is not groundbreaking it is not new but if you want to use your shiny new Gauss guess eight in the bathtub in the shower you can do it last stubble number ten Samsung is taking shots at Google assistant trying to take over with their new personal assistant Bigsby which makes me think above the Bobcat honestly it was kind of hard to get a true feel of how that works I'm going to hold back Kyle actually at the device in house and using myself for a bit but just at the scene initial reactions the general consensus seems to do that most people would not prefer this over Google of fifteens besides that if you enjoyed the video make sure to drop a like down below hit that share button maybe if you're feeling like me an extra awesome and if
