Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus : Better battery life and a bigger screen but it'll cost you review
There’s no question the S8+ is a phenomenal phone - it’s got a truly top-notch camera, Retina-busting resolution, and a design to die for. The iPhone looks positively prehistoric in comparison. Is it better than its smaller brother, though? That’s tricky. This plus-sized beauty feels thoughtfully big, with Samsung putting in the right features and getting the design right so you can use all that space without it feeling unwieldy. But the screen isn’t dramatically bigger, and battery life is only slightly better. Whether those marginal gains are worth paying £100 extra for are entirely down to how much you value having slightly more screen space. To answer the question asked at the start of this review: bigger might be better - even if there’s not that much differentiation in the S8+’s case.

Stunning design is unbeatable by any other phone right now; Incredible performance that comes into its own with DeX Station; Camera quality among the best you’ll find in in a phone;
Size won’t be for everyone; Fingerprint sensor slightly awkwardly placed; £100 more than the already excellent S8;
