The last year was supposed to be one of the best years for Samsung as it provided a lot in its phones, whether the S7 or the Note 7, but the latter was a disaster for the company and a disaster for many of those who bought, as it exploded explosions that were not insignificant and caused great damage so Samsung started this year’s conference by saying It wants to restore user confidence with the Galaxy S8 and has the highest security standards in mind. So how did Samsung decide to regain user confidence? Let's see it on the following lines.
Technical specifications
Of course, we expect excellent and comparable performance from any device sold in the upper category, especially since all its specifications are almost the same, so this year's devices of the upper class are expected to come with the new Snapdragon 835 processor, which is already the processor that the Galaxy S8 comes with, Samsung also produces versions for sale internationally with the Exynos 8895 processor 64 bit of its design. The phone also comes with 4 GB of random storage (RAM) and 64 GB of internal storage memory with the ability to add a memory card.
the screen
Here the excitement begins. The screen of the S8 is the main selling point, as it represents most of the change in the design of the device from its predecessor. Samsung calls this screen an "Infinity Display" indicating that it has no limits that you can see. Samsung relies on designing that the screen is curved from the side, so you do not see the side frame of the device, as it has minimized both the upper and lower frames so that the appearance of the phone becomes consistent and enlarged. Screen without enlarging the size of the device.
What about the home button?
It is clear that Samsung decided to abandon the real home button to support its screen design and decided to replace the buttons with touch buttons, but Samsung added a vibrating motor under the place where the home button is located on the screen so when you press the button you should (almost) feel that you are actually pressing the button. It is a technology similar to what Apple uses in the iPhone 7 Home button.
What's new?
In fact, it is only the design, but Samsung has kept the same screen technology that it used before, which is of the type AMOLED with a quality of + 2960 x 1440 pixel WQHD except that the length of the screen in relation to the width has increased with the elimination of the top and bottom edges, so the ratio of length to width is 18.5: 9 instead of The usual old ratio of 16: 9. This means that some videos will not occupy the entire screen, but will display black spaces on the sides. As for applications and games, they must support these strange dimensions because they may also face some problems in displaying the content.
Plus version
The phone comes in two screen sizes, the first is the Galaxy S8 and it comes with a 5.8-inch screen, while the Plus version is the largest at 6.2 inches, and this is the only difference between the two phones. Otherwise, there is no difference.
Camera
This conference was the first for Samsung, as the company does not boast about the camera of its new phone much, but this is because the back camera does not contain many changes, so the company decided that the camera from its previous phone, S7, will do the purpose, which is a 12-megapixel sensor camera and an f / f lens. 1.7 The biggest change comes with the front camera that comes with an 8-megapixel sensor, f / 1.7 lens slot, and supports auto focus.
Security
The phone comes with major changes in the way the phone is secured and unlocked, as Samsung has moved the fingerprint sensor to the back next to the camera and since the size of the phone is still relatively large, it will be difficult for many to comfortably access the fingerprint sensor, but Samsung is betting on its new system for unlocking using the “face” introduction The phone uses the front camera in addition to sensors to record the face of the phone owner and open the phone when he is in front of the face of the phone owner, and for the extent of the technical efficiency, the initial experience of the conference attendees says that it is very fast - but we have to wait until the phone experience in the real world - and some concerns have been raised on How easy it is for technology as this may lead to unlocking the phone at many times that you do not want, causing others to read the phone easily, or it may facilitate opening the phone for any intruder who can get the phone and place it in front of your face for a second and a second, but regardless of the concerns .. the technology is great. A new trend could start as the fingerprint did with the iPhone 5S.
Update: A user posted a video on Periscope showing that the Galaxy S8 could be unlocked using just a picture of the phone's face, and while this video raised many doubts about safety, a Samsung spokesperson said that the system used in the video was not the final version and that this has been corrected in the version to be sold. . Of course, we have to wait until the phone is sold to see how it will do.
Bixby
Samsung is also betting a lot on its new assistant Bixby (Bixby), whose main function is to provide the ability to use most of the phone's features through voice dictation, as it contains smart features that enable it to recognize things using the camera, so you put the camera in front of a watch, for example, and then Bixby identifies the watch And show more pictures of similar watches on the Internet and show the sites to buy them. Samsung has also put a special button on the assistant on the side of the phone for quick access, which means that Samsung is betting on the users' love for it greatly and Bixby supports 50 languages (Siri supports only 30 languages). So is Arabic among the supported languages? You can learn more about Bixby In our article about it here. Can Bixby defeat Google Assistant?
Bluetooth 5
The new Bluetooth 5 technology was announced in the market a while ago, and we finally see it on Galaxy devices, as it is the first device to adopt the technology. The new technology is characterized by a speed equal to twice as fast as Bluetooth 4.2 and four times the coverage area, as you must be able to maintain a connection with a Bluetooth device at a distance of 240 meters from the phone (the distance changes according to the environment of the place, for example the presence of walls is difficult to signal and reduces the distance). The new technology also supports connecting two bluetooth headphones at the same time if you want to share with a friend what you hear.
Unexploded battery?
Samsung says that it learned from the Note 7 incident and created an eight-step program to ensure the safety of all batteries, and we hope that Samsung has corrected all errors in its batteries because unsafe batteries represent a real danger to lives.
Hi Galaxy, waiting for the iPhone
At the conference, the CEO of Samsung told reporters: “We have a dream to overtake Apple. ”. In view of the company's efforts, it really wants to skip Apple significantly, as the new Galaxy device is theoretically the best device that Samsung has produced so far in terms of design and characteristics, but the extent of the success of the device depends on what Apple offers with the next iPhone, whatever its name. People have high hopes for him since he will launch a full decade representing 10 generations of iPhone advancements. So will Apple surprise us or Samsung win?
What do you think of the new Galaxy S8? Will it beat the iPhone? Share your opinion

I do not know why some people speak sarcastically and enmity to Samsung or to any other company. These are the needs and desires of whoever wants Samsung and who wants Apple for all his desires.
Ha-ha-ha, no comparison between the iPhone and the Tramp There is no big difference between 7… 8
For the first time, the news is neutral and without bias, thanks to the author of the article 🙏
Your words are correct, brother Mahmoud
Indeed, Samsung fans should take the news of Samsung phones from a source other than iPhone Islam, who is not neutral, unfortunately, and I do not understand their benefit from this direct targeting of Samsung, neglecting the positives of its products and focusing on the negative side only. No technical expert can deny the development of Samsung products from the s6 phones and their aftermath
Glory be to God, I am surprised by you, is it jealousy or envy
I challenge Samsung to install a thousand apps on any of its devices
How can Apple respond
When Apple made the iPhone screen bigger, a lot of Samsung moved to the iPhone. Now, what is required of Apple to do, just rely on OLED screens. This is enough to make the rest move to the iPhone because the majority of those who carry a Galaxy phone because of the strong screen colors as for Bixby will not change anything of us remember I see so far the personal assistant is not really effective. When will it be effective? When I drive my car I want to refuse a call when I just let the phone know that I am driving on the street at a speed of 140 and whoever sends a message to the caller I am on the road either if I press the button every time I want to use it it is easier to Say, Siri
A tradition for iPhone
I expect the iPhone will be disappointing and we find people to buy it like every year.
For the brand only.
One of the most beautiful designs of Samsung so far, and I am really waiting for something new from Apple, or I will leave the iPhone and buy the S8 😤
The device is more than wonderful, the design is the most wonderful
We hope from Apple that its next device will be different because it has been three years and it maintains the same design from the iPhone XNUMX and XNUMXS, and now the XNUMX they are all the same design
Yvonne Islam, I swear to leave Samsung news for readers to take it from outside your site without distorting. I feel that you specialize in deforming Samsung and Galaxy, at least they get correct information. All global sites talk about the Galaxy S8 and you chose the negatives and ignored the power of the device, design and hardware
They said anything about the device or blame it, but in this article they dealt with the new only because most of the same features are present in the S7.
I was really injured
Whoever reads does not feel neutral in the content and style of the article, even if there is an attempt to hide it
I love using Apple products because they are an elitist process and this is what attracts me to it
But I don’t digest the giant of change, diversity and competition from Samsung Galaxy
And if I am not one of those who like that, even if she fascinates me with that
If you do not love him, then this is not a shame, but do not underestimate his right if he is mentioned or praised
I believed your words to the core
The Galaxy S7 is already outperforming the iPhone, let alone what's new, Samsung devices are at another level recently
One says I bought a new phone while I was in the market and locked it with my face print.
Then at night, I tried to open it, it would not open permanently, you say, and God allowed me to stop at 2 and a half at night, so that I can open the phone.
😂😂😂😂🔪
Hhahahahahahaha problem benefit harem 🤣🤣🤣
I am a fan of Apple and I admit that the S8 is a beautiful phone by all accounts
But will I give up the iPhone for him? Will I give up the iPhone for features with a system other than iOS? Certainly not, because the system is different, and Samsung will not be able to skip Apple because its system differs from Apple
And I advise Samsung to compete with companies that are within the framework of Android
Because the iPhone is something else
Its slogan suffices
(Think different)
When the next iPhone comes with a curved screen, some writers say it's dazzling? Therefore, you will not find one of them saying Apple has imitated Samsung because racism or ignorance about them prevents that, for example when Apple enlarged the screen, they did not talk about it or the features of Android
Knowing that I do not care about what they write of fabricating information for the reader or distorting the history of the company, whether Samsung or others? Personally, I find the device a myth if one of you is certain that Apple will provide you with features or half of these features, knowing that I use an iPhone 6s, but I do not like fabrication or distorting information for the reader

We thank you for this brief article, but the problem with Samsung is no longer with the iPhone. The real problem is with those who themselves are on the same system and at a large price difference. It is Huawei and other Chinese companies coming strongly. They should pay close attention to the Chinese giant. As for the iPhone, it is another world and the iPhone 8 even if it does not provide the exciting Millions of people around the world will own attention because it is simply a registered trademark
It looks very beautiful
Apple is always on top and always will be, and I'm sure the iPhone 8 will be the biggest event of the year.
I am currently using the Galaxy S6 Plus and waiting for the Galaxy S8
From my experience with the SXNUMX Edge I am sure that the SXNUMX will be my legendary device
(Time is very early on for Galaxy and the company with all its devices defeats Apple) as long as there is no special system for its device, it will not overcome Apple for its longevity
“We have a dream that we will bypass Apple,” which means that Samsung admits that it is in the back
Nice words
The device is beautiful, of course, and the screen is wonderful, but its size is very huge, it is more like a tablet and not a phone. In the interest of the user because when there is strong competition there are great products 👍👍
Was surprised as usual?
Unfortunately, Apple did not surprise us with anything since the iPhone XNUMX 😔
You look like I didn't buy an iPhone a long time ago, Hahaha
Sometimes the blame is on the company and sometimes it is the defect in the user, if a sane person talks and says there is no difference between the iPhone XNUMX and the iPhone XNUMX .. This is a big problem that you have to address ..
The device is not large, but the screen has been enlarged while maintaining the size of the device, which means that it is placed in the pocket easily.
The use of the face is optional, and even the fingerprint is according to the security strength you want, for example the fingerprint. A person can take your hand while you are sleeping, and so on.
The phone is big and tiring to work on for those who work more than two hours in it, and the fingerprint and facial recognition system is failing
The secret to the superiority of Apple is the IOS system, security and the strength of hardware with software, the speed of updates, and it lasted for years, the strength of its programs, the lack of its ads, the attractive shape of the device, the availability of its accessories everywhere, and the speed of implementation of tasks compared to other systems .. In short, the iPhone was designed with great intelligence, which is difficult for any company to pursue Whatever the temptations of the interview, and if you meet features that are missing on the iPhone, make sure that you will encounter other defects in return that are not counted.
👍👍👍
Frankly, the design is amazing ... the iPhone is an old fashion in terms of design.
An unfair article that focuses on the SXNUMX's shortcomings rather than a neutral outlook, even though I am an Apple user and I see it better.
Please accept my opinion that it is an article that does not rise to Yvonne Islam. There are features not mentioned, such as converting it to a desktop device, as well as fast charging, and others. For those who want to know the specifications, I hope to look for them in other than this article.
The transfer to a desktop device was mentioned with a news article on the margin as this paragraph concerns the DeX dock device and also fast charging is an old feature that is not new and this article talks about the new only. If you go to the official Samsung website, you will not find them talking about the features that I mentioned among the main features of the device. http://www.samsung.com/us/explore/galaxy-s8/meet/
The S8 is a masterpiece by all accounts. I expect it to be successful.
I like fairness
شكرا
There is no consolation for Ben Sami
When the user chooses an iPhone or a Galaxy, he wants that system, not the hardware or the name
Oh, Samsung lose
I think the biggest drawback to the device is the non-standard screen dimensions that are contrary to the world's content, XNUMX: XNUMX is the actual scale.
To the right, the non-standard screen is not a big defect, as the Android system is programmed all the sizes of applications change to suit any screen, it should work well (but you will not benefit from the extra size, it will only be of a larger size), and of course we are waiting to try the applications when the device is released.
I expect to beat Apple because they put all their power into the s8
Unanimously the problem with the system
What is the use of a device that carries such miraculous specifications and delivers a basic update twice as much, now that it has Android Nouka
And Android connects it after a year and a half, and another update can deliver it and salvation
IPhone XNUMX was downloaded in XNUMX
And it was ios6
Now it has iOS 10
Promise conference Apple 😅 Samsung & Apple
Apple passes 😂👌
But the iPhone is better than Samsung
Samsung is wonderful in the sense of the word, but the topic of skipping Apple is not as easy as that Samsung imagines, despite the delay at Apple and not developing the iPhone except with simple matters that may be insignificant, so we hope that this year will not let us down and enter the world of competition in the design, features and movements that exclude all Companies from their competition.
There is no doubt that it is a wonderful device and was designed by the company to remedy the scandal of the Note 7 and through the current leaks, which have shown from all previous experiences the great limit of its validity, I expect that the Apple device for this year will be a disappointment to all hopes and will not be a powerful device as the apple lovers wish
Through the events and the current reality and the iPhone 7 devices that did not provide anything new except for more disappointment in the Apple and IOS devices, which did not carry anything new, neither in form or in content, I expect the stagnation of Apple devices and the rise of Samsung with full force (although I hope that I am mistaken), but At least Samsung is trying to satisfy the customer and give him a new set of advantages
Always trying to develop the best Apple in iPhone 7 I failed to provide anything new at all. I am a wizard, but I am a good follower of technology, its newness and its development, and a lover and an obsessed with technology and phones.
What I mentioned is an intuition based on events, leaks and rumors about the upcoming iPhone, which I really hope will be a new revolution in the world of mobile devices as was the case ten years ago through the first iPhone that completely changed this field and was the pioneer of the revolution that occurred in the world of mobile phones, which We see its fruits every day so far.
Not worth the purchase 👎🏿
"We have a dream to overtake Apple."
I liked the direct recognition of the advantage of Apple from Samsung itself
Not a preference in the sense that you think it is, rather they mean profits.
Regarding the last sentence (Is Apple or Samsung winning?), One of them will not triumph over the other like every year, so whoever prefers iOS will be inclined to Apple and who prefers Android will be inclined to Samsung regardless of the features in the two devices. In the end, it is a matter of software (iOS and Android).
Samsung has bet on the pupil fingerprint sensor, as for unlocking the phone via the face, it is not a new thing, but it works faster than the pupil sensor, but with less safety.
Mil is beaten by Emperor S8 by light years
Only iPhone sales are higher due to dementia
No need to use inappropriate words, brother. For every rating and opinion. If we are going to exchange insults for the sake of a phone that doesn't have a collar or a sentence in it, let alone if we talked about doctrine or politics.
You are supposed to apologize for what you said.
The stupid device in history
No way to reach Samsung, so do not ponder too much. We are always disappointed by our hopes, the design of the S8 is a masterpiece by all standards, and I expect it to succeed.
It is true that the Galaxy S8 has not changed much from its predecessor, but it is undoubtedly a wonderful device ... Wonderful screen, great camera, excellent battery with fast charging and wireless charging, excellent and fast processor, the latest Qualcomm processors.
I think that the big change is not due to the fact that Samsung in the Galaxy S7 provided a very excellent device and high specifications in all parts of the hardware. Currently, in the S8, it can only develop the screen and the battery, which were in need of development. The other option is to release a completely new technology, and this unless Samsung does it, and it may be the key for Apple to outperform it if it decides to release a completely new technology such as AR, for example.
The conclusion is that the leading devices in Apple and Samsung have come to include high specifications in all hardware parts and provide the user with a wonderful experience with the exception of the battery and its charging in Apple, which still needs development, which will definitely develop Apple in its next device and therefore the competition has reached now to the stage of who will present a completely new technology that dazzles Consumers, and those who will present them better and with higher quality, consumers are tired of the current technologies and they have become guaranteed and boring .. If Apple releases its next device with a radical change and with completely new technologies, it will have the largest share of this year's success. But if it continues on the policy of simple improvements, Samsung will undoubtedly skip it.
Excess philosophy and nonsense
Why are you obsessed with Apple and compete with your brothers on Android?
In my opinion, the secret of Apple's superiority is the complete compatibility between software and hardware
Nice article as usual
There is also an iris scanner
One of the iPhone's biggest strengths is that Apple offers the user a compatible and integrated experience. From hardware to operating system, to software store, to iCloud, to technical support, to many things that make the user feel comfortable while living an integrated experience. Added to this is the compatibility between iPhone, iPad and Mac devices. This is what all competitors are missing.
Abu Naba, you and many may see this as an advantage that is counted for Apple, but I see it as a big problem because I feel that Apple is attracting you little by little to its own world and in that world there are strict laws and you have to be rich in order to survive.
I do not want to restrict my freedom, so I use an Android phone and a modified operating system and change it as I wish and control everything with the phone, and on the computer I use Linux where there is complete freedom and no restrictions.
Speaking of support, geeks don't want any support when they have Uncle Google.
Because of this, what will prevail in the end, because every system has its users
By virtue of my work in mobile phone maintenance before the emergence of smart devices from Apple or Samsung or the iOS and Android systems for devices, I see that the iPhone is the best, with Samsung devices sometimes being superior with the Android system.
First, you must differentiate between the systems that the devices operate on and the devices themselves. The Android system from Google works on most devices other than Samsung, and the IOS system from Apple.
Secondly, Apple smart devices were launched in stages before Samsung. The first iPhone 2 was launched in 2007 or Samsung smart devices were launched with the Galaxy 1 version in 2010.
The case of Samsung stealing Apple ideas is famous, you can read about it when Apple was relying on Samsung in making connectors and stealing the idea, Samsung launched its smart solutions in cooperation with Google in 2010.
In terms of hardware, that is, the internal parts of the device, for most technicians, Apple is dozens of times better than Samsung.
In terms of technical support for Apple, it also surpassed Samsung by dozens of times.
In terms of the abundance of devices and the reliance on an open source system, Samsung outperformed, but on the other hand, Apple's policy is to protect the customer more, so this is a locked iOS system under the tutelage of Apple.
And in the end, excel for the best. Here is the giant of mobile devices in the nineties (Nokia) Where does it go? Despite Microsoft's attempt to revive it after its purchase, it seems the superiority of its peers made it backward.
