CPU-Z 2.06.1 download the new for android

The rounded display edges are now standard for the new S models, but they are not as steep as on the Galaxy S7 Edge. The comparison devices include the long-term competitors Apple iPhone 7 Plus, Sony Xperia XZ, HTC U Ultra, Huawei Mate 9, LG G6, Lenovo Moto Z and the Google Pixel XL. Samsung's smartphone is ambitious and a big challenge for the rivals. Samsung's own voice assistant Bixby is only available for Korean and English customers right now. Other small highlights include Gigabit LTE as well as Bluetooth 5.0, and the Wi-Fi performance is supposed to be much better as well. A new feature is the Iris scanner, which we already know from the Galaxy Note 7. Samsung now also uses a USB Type-C port and equips the smartphone with numerous sensors. The Plus version also features a 3500 mAh battery and is once again protected against water and dust according to IP68.

The latter can be expanded by up to 256 GB via microSD. You also get 4 GB RAM and 64 GB internal UFS 2.1 storage. Our test model is powered by the new Samsung Exynos 8895 SoC, which is already manufactured in a 10-nm process. The small Galaxy S8 has a 5.8-inch screen, a smaller battery (3000 mAh) and is 100 Euros (~$107) less expensive.

However, the size is a result of the new aspect ratio, so the smartphones are getting longer and offer more visible screen content, but they are still easy to hold thanks to the narrow construction. This sounds enormous, especially with the 5.5-inch screen of the Galaxy S7 Edge in mind. The Galaxy S8 Plus is the larger smartphone from the S8-series with a panel diagonal size of 6.2-inches. The new model follows the footsteps of the previous model and sets new benchmarks. The Samsung Galaxy S8+ (Plus) is the successor to the Galaxy S7 Edge, which was the best smartphone we reviewed last year.
