Features Of The Samsung Galaxy S8
What Type Of Display Does The Samsung Galaxy S8 Have?
The Samsung Galaxy S8 has a 5.8" Super AMOLED screen which is .7" bigger but the body is just a few millimeters larger than its predecessor, the S7, thanks to its radical but elegant edge to edge phone display. With Super AMOLED screen technology, pictures, and videos are brighter and deeper in color compared to normal IPS or TFT displays. To accommodate the large screen, Samsung retired the physical home button to give way to an on-screen button intuitively buried underneath the screen.
What Type Of Camera Does The Samsung Galaxy S8 Have?
The main camera of the S8 and S8 plus series were borrowed from the S7's marvelous 12 MP Dual Pixel camera technology but is packed with impressive software improvements like the Pro mode which lets you play with a variety of camera settings found in digital cameras. The front camera, however, boasts an 8 MP, as compared to S7's 5 MP, plus a host of software refinements such as auto focus, Auto HDR and it's own mode selector. Lastly, the camera is capable of recording up to 4K videos @30fps, although impressive, but is no different from its predecessor.

The Samsung Galaxy S8 has a single 32-bit/384KHz downward firing mono speaker located at the bottom right and is worth noting that it is loud. It also has an active noise canceling feature with a dedicated mic to filter out background noise for a much quieter phone conversation.
Does The Samsung Galaxy S8 Have Any Biometric Features?
You can unlock the S8 using a fingerprint reader located at the back beside the camera, which is fast but could be cumbersome if you have small hands.
