Galaxy S8 is Here!


The revolutionary design of the Galaxy S8 and S8+ begins from the inside out. We rethought every part of the phone’s layout to break through the confines of the smartphone screen. So all you see is pure content and no bezel. It’s the biggest, most immersive screen on a Galaxy smartphone of this size. And it’s easy to hold in one hand.

The Infinity Display has an incredible end-to-end screen that spills over the phone’s sides, forming a completely smooth, continuous surface with no bumps or angles. It’s pure, pristine, uninterrupted glass. And it takes up the entire front of the phone, flowing seamlessly into the aluminum shell. The result is a beautifully curved, perfectly symmetrical, singular object.

Capture life as it happens with the Galaxy S8 and S8+ cameras. The 12MP rear camera and the 8MP front camera are so accurate and fast that you won’t miss a moment, day or night.

Prying eyes are not a problem when you have iris scanning on the Galaxy S8 and S8+. No two irises have the same pattern, not even yours, and they’re nearly impossible to replicate. That means with iris scanning, your phone and its contents open to your eyes only. And when you need to unlock really fast, face recognition is a handy option.

You never really stop using your phone. That’s why Galaxy S8 and S8+ are driven by the world’s first 10nm processor. It’s fast and powerful and increases battery efficiency. Plus, there’s the ability to expand storage, and to work through rain and dust with IP68-rated performance.

Bixby completely changes the way you interact with your phone. It’s a personal assistant that understands talk, text, and taps so you’re never confined to one mode of communication. It also completely changes the way you search. You don’t even have to ask, just show Bixby what you want by opening your camera app. It’s so incredibly easy.

The Galaxy S8 and S8+ are designed to be more than just smartphones. They’re designed to change how you capture and view your life, whether it’s in 360 degrees or in virtual reality. They’re designed to change how you pay and work on the go. Break down the barriers in your world with the Galaxy S8 and S8+.

From your photos and videos to contacts and music, Smart Switch lets you easily transfer your memories on your old phone to your new Galaxy S8 or S8+. Now that you know all the memories are coming with you, you can focus on making new ones with your Galaxy S8 or S8+.

The Galaxy S8 and S8+ are built to be more accessible for everyone. A well-thought-out range of technical solutions make it easy for anyone to make full use of the Galaxy S8 and S8+’s advanced capabilities.
