Biometric sensor is complemented by the scanner sensor face and fingerprint scanner sensor, offers a selection of device security for its users. Compared to the previous generation models (samsung Galaxy S7 Edge), samsung Galaxy S8 offers a very high increase in terms of specifications.
Sales Package of Samsung Galaxy S8
Samsung Galaxy S8 encased in a black box appear more luxurious than cell phones in class. Writing accented with shiny blue S8 writings and other information are white. Surely everyone has high expectations towards packing the phones above USD 769.
In addition to the display of the box, the content in it is also pleasantly luxurious. The main device is placed top held by plastic mats that fit with the body of the phone. The included accessories belongs to many, namely the opening of the pin of the SIM card tray, USB cable C-type along the 1-meter, artificial RDA earphones with earbuds, charger 2 pairs with "adaptive charging", adapter OTG with the C-type and adapter micro-USB to USB C-type. The default charger already supports fast charging Galaxy S8. This charger power rating between 9.6 V/1.67 A or 5V/2A.
With accessories adapter OTG device, Galaxy S8 can read flash disk and other input devices such as mouse and keyboard commonly used for PC desktops. OTG adapter this is not really different from other brands of similar adapters. Default OTG adapter can also be used in other Android device that has a USB port C-type.
The Design, Shape and Material Quality of Galaxy S8
Design Galaxy S8 is very different from the previous generation model Galaxy S7 Edge. The bezel at the top and bottom of the screen is now very thin so that the screen can be longer. The home button which becomes the hallmark of Galaxy S series since the first generation of now lost in the 8th generation. The Samsung logo that is always present in the entire Galaxy phones are also no longer appear on the front of the device, in order to achieve a thin bezel.
At first glance, the look of the Galaxy very unique S8. Until now there has been no other phone models like the shape of this phone. That approach only LG G6 with a screen which is also long and thin bezel, but next to it is still flat. At the top of the screen there are many sensors and speakers call. To the left of the speaker, there is a proximity sensor and light at the end of the far left and on the right there is an iris illuminant will light up red for illuminating the iris so it can be read by iris camera located on the far right end. The front camera is located in between the speaker and the cameras iris.
Specifically for Galaxy S8 black "Midnight", a row of new sensor with black around her. If you like the look of the phone which is smooth, color black this is a good choice. On other color sensors-sensors on the top of the screen more easily visible.
At the bottom of the screen, there is no anything. The navigation buttons are missing entirely and switch to navigation key system, including the home button. A unique, there are sensors that can measure the pressure of touch around the home button. When the phone is locked with the look of "Always-On Display" is enabled, users can activate the screen by pressing the home button is rather strong.
Behind the top there are the main cameras flanked by lights the LED flash and autofocus sensor on the left as well as the fingerprint sensor on the right. The main camera home flat to the surface of her and lined by glass scratch resistant.
The placement of the fingerprint sensor is on the right of the main camera is rather strange. For a person who his finger teeny, little hard reaching the fingerprint sensor when using the right hand without changing the position of the handle. Fortunately, Samsung provides features such as biometric sensors, iris and face recognition for users who are not comfortable using the fingerprint sensor.
In the middle of the back, there is the Samsung logo was accompanied by two sticker information IMEI number, model number and serial number of the device. Underneath the logo located CE and again the same information found on the sticker on it. Unfortunately this information is hard enough stickers are removable, but not impossible with the right tools.
The surface of the back is made from the glass edges left and right curved arches, following in part of the screen. The connection between the frame and the rear panel is very smooth so impressed. At the top and bottom edge of the glass panel is not curved, but the arches remain on the metal frame.
Next we see the side of the device.
The left and right side of the device is made of a metal arch and connect the screen front and back part of the glass panel. The surface of the frame device is also somewhat curved, following the curvature of the screen and rear panel thereby providing uninterrupted arches from front to back.
On the right side there is a power button/key, while on the left side of the volume button located at the top and a special button Launcher Bixby underneath. Unfortunately the function button Bixby, cannot be changed.
At the top and bottom side of the device there is a line of antennas at the tip of the left and right to help the reception range of the signal. The upper side load the SIM card slot and microSD card. This single-slot type hybrid, can load two SIM cards (one nano and micro-sized one) or a nano and a microSD memory card. On the down side there is a C-type USB port in the Center, flanked by the 3.5 mm audio port on the left and holes as well as the loud speaker grilles microphone mono on the right.
The design is full of indentations on almost every side to provide comfort when the handheld device. The combination of metal and glass always give the impression of luxury and elegance. The weight of the device to reach 155 gram contributed to increase steadily when gripped. In conclusion, by design and quality materials, Galaxy S8 is great, surely this outside of the layout of the fingerprint sensor is less easy to grasp.

Screen Super AMOLED Samsung Galaxy carried artificial S8 looks very white, with contrasting bright and dark black color. On paper, the contrast ratio is not to. On the display, the entire color can be produced by bright. But when compared to LCD screen, display white screen Galaxy S8 black. This brought about the type of pixels used in S-AMOLED screen that more pixels than red green and blue pixels. If this is not pleasing reddish color, Samsung already present features optimization of balance color display screen that can reduce the dominance of the red color on the screen.
These features can be accessed through the menu ("settings, display, screen Mode, Adaptive Display, then shift the balance toward the Cold").

No other complaints at the Galaxy screen aspect S8 aside from a slightly reddish colour balance, but can be overcome.
The Performance of Samsung Galaxy S8
With this much power, Galaxy S8 was able to print the score test AnTuTu 170.986. This score is above Qualcomms Snapdragon chip 821, equivalent to 835 Snapdragon, but still slightly below the performance chipset Apple iPhone 7 Plus which was in the range of 181.000.
Galaxy S8 is equipped with a ROM type UFS 2.1. When tested with AndroBench applications, this phone is capable of scoring 782 Mbps read speed and write speed 203 Mbps. This figure is above the average read speed UFS 2.1 which is dikisaran 700 Mbps. When tested for 89 MB-sized copy files using the USB 3.0 connection, copy operation is completed in less than 2 seconds.
Load the game application like Clash of Clans is very fast, IE just 4.9 seconds, the equivalent of a mobile phone flagship OnePlus 3T reinforced Snapdragon and UFS 821 2.0.
For the game play, Galaxy S8 was able to devour all kinds of game Play are available in the Store. Heavy 3D games can be set with the maximum level of detail. Games such as the Legacy of Discord: Furious Wings and Asphalt Xtreme! It looks smoother jaya without lag. This match expectations because the Galaxy has 20-S8 GPU core.
Galaxy S8 come cutting edge technology currently certainly dont have a problem with how it performs. The entire animation on the operating system running very smooth without terpatah-patah. The application also runs seamlessly. The turn between active applications running without a hitch, so too the use of the "Split-screen" that runs two concurrent applications running smoothly.
Biometric Sensor Performance
Galaxy S8 is equipped 3 features biometric features face recognition, fingerprint scanner features and iris scanner features. Face recognition feature may not work in conjunction with the iris scanner, but both can function simultaneously with the scanner the fingerprint sensor.When tested, sensors, fingerprint scanners and face recognition can recognize fingerprint or face that is already listed in quick time, about 1 second. A second biometric feature accuracy this belongs either.
Iris scanner sensors are also fast enough in recognizing the iris that is already registered, albeit relatively longer than the previous two biometric features, about 2-3 seconds. The reading becomes very difficult if the user is wearing glasses though in recent times the experiment iris can be unreadable. For people who have a biometric distinctive feature, this may not be a good choice.
Galaxy S8 can save 5 prints, while only 1 faces and 1 pair of the iris can be used. Again, for the bespectacled throughout the day, you must register your face when the bespectacled face of the sensor, because it seems to recognize faces with different glasses with face without sunglasses.

When trying to recognize the Galaxy box S8, Bixby Vision offers the application virtual assistant Cortana.
Battery Performance
Samsung provides the battery with capacity 3, 000mAh on Galaxy S8. This is equivalent to the capacity of a rechargeable battery mounted on Galaxy S7. Samsung seems to be unwilling to impose greater battery capacity due to burning battery problem on Galaxy Note 7.
