Features in comparison
Unlike its main competitors which are the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, Galaxy S8 offers a variety of impressive features that could appeal to consumers. Examples of which are: its water resistance and a good screen-to-body ratio (18:5:9), as compared to the most smartphones which have a 16:9 aspect ratio, this only explains that its screen is way taller than many smartphones but not that broader.
Moreover, it has beautifully curved edges, an iris and face recognition which lets the owner of the phone take a selfie and allow the phone do the recognizing. However, instead of finding the fingerprint sensor in front of the phone, you can find it at the back, just beside the camera lens.
