Samsung Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus goes official

Samsung today officially launched Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus at an event in New York.Galaxy S8 feature a 5.8-inch 2960 x 1440 (571 PPI) Super AMOLED curved display whereas Galaxy S8 Plus comes with 6.2-inch Quad HD+ (2960×1440 pixels) curved Super AMOLED display.

Infinity Display spills over the edges of the phone, the front is smooth glass which meets the metal shell.Both are powered by Octa-Core Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 with Adreno 540 GPU / Octa-Core Samsung Exynos 9 Series 8895 processor with Mali-G71 MP20 GPU. 4GB RAM and 64GB of internal storage expandable up to 256GB.

The phone’s 12MP F1.7 autofocus rear camera utilizes the same great Dual Pixel image sensor that was first introduced to the smartphone market with the Samsung Galaxy S7. With Dual Pixel technology, every single pixel enables precise and fast focusing, much in the same way that the human eye does. By splitting all of the camera’s pixels into two photodiodes for on-chip phase detection, the technology enables vastly improved autofocus performance, even in low light.

The 8MP F1.7 smart autofocus front camera has also been improved from the 5MP F1.7 front camera of the Galaxy S7. Until now, the front camera, which is most often used for taking selfies, was programmed to provide a fixed focus based on the average arm length of users. However, that distance has expanded with the proliferation of the selfie stick and other accessories.

Therefore, the Galaxy S8’s front camera has been equipped with autofocus features and facial recognition technology so it can better recognize and track faces, even when the distance between the camera and the subjects in the photo is increased. The result is superior selfie quality with a clearer, more detailed picture.

Bixby offers four main features: Voice, Vision, Reminder and Home. Bixby Voice is easily activated. Users simply need to press and hold the dedicated hardware button on the side of the Galaxy S8, say “Bixby” or tap it on the Bixby Home screen to wake it up.
