Expert Review
The Galaxy S8 was widely praised on release for pioneering Samsung's edge-to-edge Infinity Display design and for its strong camera and build quality, with reviewers noting the fingerprint sensor's placement as a common complaint.
VERDICT
A design-defining flagship that holds up well for basic use today, though its performance and battery life now feel dated compared to modern phones.
