Before Samsung's plus-sized flagship - the Galaxy S8+ - was in my hands, I scoffed at it not warranting a full review. "It's exactly the same phone" I screamed at the unveiling, to disapproving glares from the Samsung execs sat a few rows down.

Positively gorgeous; More of that beautiful display; The best smartphone performance so far

Doesn't offer much more than regular S8; Expensive

after samsung launched 128GB in 70k almost and 64GB in64k, so when we are getting just double memory so why buy 64, buy 128...and deal is very cool...

Samsung has hit the bull's eye with the launch of Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus and it has all the reasons to be happy and smiling once again, while making others to sweat more with their design and pricing. And when I got hold of the Galaxy S8 Plus for the first time, it was mesmerizing.

Samsung has once again produced an excellent flagship phone, and I’m sure it’s a handset that nearly every phone buyer will be considering throughout 2017. It features a fantastic range of hardware and some decent updates to the software, plus the most beautiful phone design I’ve ever seen and...

The most beautiful, futuristic phone I’ve ever seen; Enormous, vibrant display without being cumbersome; Great performance and battery life; Camera still stacks up favorably despite lack of hardware upgrade

The most fragile phone ever made; Dumb fingerprint sensor position; Exynos version loves to throttle; Bixby isn’t anything special; Expensive

I've only had the phone just a little over a month and the screen is already cracked despite having it in a protective case. It fell off my knee onto the wood floor in my home, faced down. I was told that the cracked screen is not covered by the warranty.

Great camera

Easy to use

The Infinity screen is the main wow factor - I can't see any phone is beauty now except this S8+ and G6. The camera is finally in great output and no over sharpening issue or any fake color render. Build quality is outstanding solid! The new UI is clean and even far nicer than original stock.

Stunning Infinity Screen; Stunning Camera; Stunning UI Design and Look; Fast Charging; Memory card expansion

Animation Smoothness could be better; Wish they came with dual camera and one of it is wide angle; Loudspeaker could be better in dual; Extremely stupid position of fingerprint sensor

After the Galaxy Note 7 debacle, Samsung had to prove itself, that much is obvious. It's also becoming apparent that Samsung is reaching its goal with the Galaxy S8+. The design is as elegant as it is successful, the quality of the build is perfect and although the format is unusual, it proves to be...

Superior build quality and elegant design; Impressive display; Very good camera; Smooth performance; Latest Android version

Battery only average; Bixby not ready yet; Fingerprint sensor placement is odd

Samsung has finally managed to leave its smartphone rivals far behind in the design segment. With the new Galaxy S8 flagships, the Korean tech giant has shown the world its prowess with respect to how smartphone technology can be powerful, and yet remain beautiful.

Fast processor. Generous screen size. Perfect oled display. Great camera speed. Good speaker. Sexy design.

Just when I thought I was done with big phones, Samsung drags me back in. There's an obvious commentary happening here. The return story. The rebuilding. Samsung's comeback. This company weathered a brutal public disaster last year.

Attractive design; More screen area to overall body size; Respectable camera performance

Characteristic Samsung stutters; especially with Bixby; Little software to actually take advantage of this aspect ratio; Concerns over curved glass; ergonomics; and durability
