Nearly a month before the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S8+, let's take a look at the top retail version of the Korean version:
The first is the packaging. The style has changed, but the model and capacity of the phone are still printed on the front. It is worth noting that, Love to play computer games The top configuration version of the Korean version is obtained. The SoC is Exynos 8895, and the memory and storage capacity are 6G+128G (4G+64G for the ordinary version).
Inside the package, each small accessory has a special location, which looks exquisite. Like Note7, it has a microUSB to Type-C adapter, an OTG adapter (actually Samsung intended to be used as a replacement assistant for users), and a charging head that looks very different (actually the same model as Note7, the maximum power is still 9V 1.67A, or 15W, while our measured maximum power is about 12W).
The data cable has turned black, and the model is the same as that of Note7. In addition, the most important accessory in the package is the AKG headset, and the model is IG955.
The earphone attached to the Galaxy S8/S8+is more "stacked" than the normal phone plug. In addition to the AKG addition, it is also a coaxial dual dynamic (11mm low frequency+8mm medium high frequency) earphone,
The earphone adopts an in ear design with a small cavity, but the thickness is larger than that of ordinary earphones.
Back to the mobile phone itself, the Galaxy S8+needs no more words than "beauty responsibility". The front 6.2 inch 18.5:9 QHD+(2960 * 1440) screen, combined with the ultra-high screen share, gives a strong visual shock. It is worth mentioning that because of the black front panel, the front opening of the S8+does not look uncomfortable.
It can be seen that the most obvious openings in the forehead are two cameras, one for self taking and the other for iris recognition. Several S8/S8+color combinations use a black front panel, which meets the needs of some obsessive-compulsive disorder. Although the other openings are not obvious, they can still be seen if they are front panels of other colors.
The S8/S8+uses the virtual navigation key, and the Galaxy series' iconic round waist entity Home key is also forced to abandon because of the need to achieve ultra-high screen proportion, which makes the phone's chin look very impressive. The curved surface of the curved screen seems to combine well with the other parts of the front panel at this angle.
When the screen lights up, it is still a Super AMOLED, but this time the size and resolution of the new flagship are larger, and the scale is also significantly different from the past. The screen effect is quite outstanding. After all, this is Samsung's specialty. The peak brightness of the S8/S8+screen exceeds 1000 nits, and it supports a wide color gamut. In addition, it is a screen that supports the Mobile HDR Premium standard.
The top is still a SIM card slot. The Korean version supports a nanoSIM and a microSD card, perfectly supporting China Unicom and mobile networks. Telecom users need to consider the Snapdragon 835 version.
The elements at the bottom of the fuselage are very consistent with those of S7. However, the S8 series uses Type-C interface in line with the trend. What makes OCD hard to accept is that the 3.5mm interface, Type-C interface and the center of the microphone are not in a straight line.
There are volume keys and Bixby keys on the left side of the machine. Since there is no physical Home key, we also need this new key to cooperate when we are cleaning the machine.
The middle frame of S8+adopts a uniform bright surface design, while S6 and S7 also use a metal middle frame, but it is a sandblasting process. Relatively speaking, the surface of S8+will look more attractive, but it is not easy to judge the durability.
At first glance, the back is very close to the previous generation, but there are actually many changes. First of all, the back is also a piece of 3D glass with the same radian as the screen. The heart rate sensor and fill light are no longer perforated on the back cover. A press fingerprint identification is added on the right side of the camera. The disadvantage is that the location of the fingerprint identification is rather awkward, and the surface material is also easy to scratch. Especially for S8+, many users may feel unable to reach this location.
The camera is basically no longer protruding. However, the parameters of the camera have not shrunk. Like the previous generation, they all use a 12 million pixel, 1.4 micron, 1/2.55 inch sensor with F/1.7 aperture and OIS optical anti shake. However, there are upgrades in the sensor. The first version using Snapdragon 835 uses Soni IMX333 and the Exynos 8895 version (for example, our Korean version here) Samsung S5K2L2 is used, and the parameters are identical.
The Galaxy S8 series still supports IP68 waterproof and dust-proof, so it's not a big problem after soaking in water.
Compared with the flagship Galaxy S7 edge of the previous generation, the appearance of the S7 edge should be judged highly. The only advantage of the S7 edge is that the front panel has more colors.
In fact, the radian of the S8 curved screen is not as big as that of the S7, so theoretically, there will be less false touch. Samsung has also optimized the system in this regard.
The design of the back can be said to have a certain inheritance relationship, but there are also many differences. Although the glass of the S7 edge back cover also has radians, its curvature is far lower than that of the screen, while the S8+is symmetrical.
