Buy Galaxy S8: tyvm.ly/galaxys8
Buy S8 Plus: tyvm.ly/galaxys...
The Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus are here, bringing with them a new taller display in a body that's smaller than ever before, but should you buy them?

Its an amoled, the blacks are perfect, black bars aren't a problem.
ElectroMac74 It is, more so because it's AMOLED, because AMOLED screens wear out over time. It is always a bad idea to have on screen buttons or using just a part of the screen on AMOLED. Yeah, you won't see the wear right away but sooner or later it will come evident. Will skip the Galaxy lineup in the future for sure just because it has on screen buttons with AMOLED screen.
you have no idea what your talking about, please name me a new high end phone that will or has a physical home button. LG diched that 2 years ago, Google doesn't have one, HTC doesn't, the next IPhone wont have it, Samsung is actually behind when it comes to physical home button removal for android. So good luck finding a phone with a home button in the years to come...
VRdude Yeah I do, I have the S7 with pretty bad burn in with normal use. The problem is the amoled screen, not the on screen buttons. I refuse to buy an amoled phone with on screen button. It just gets too bad too soon.
Joona Palviainen it's just Samsung oled in general with lg oled there is no problem and have natural colors.
Hmm I think we were on 2 separate pages, I was mainly stating that it will be impossible to get a new phone with no physical home button. As far as the burn In I have not heard of any issues with AMOLED screen, My S7edge has had no issues, and I had it since launch.
1:40 rack focus superpowers ... activate!
MrMobile [Michael Fisher] Your S8 review was killer, as always!
I think MKBHD beat Fisher this time, not usually the case thro
Kiel Enrique MKBHD is a glorified showcaser IMO, not objective enough...good post production tho
MrMobile [Michael Fisher] e
Michael ,MKBHD, and Android Authority...the best review channels..
that paint splash wallpaper is so cool...

"not the best smartphone out there"? then what is?
Imad Abselem I would like to know the answer to that question as well.
Imad Abselem Nexus 6p

Evil Bobster101 LMAO Yea ok...
+Imad Abselem When the Galaxy Note 8 launches in late 2017.
Did all the tech channels decide to post Galaxy s8 reviews at the exact same time or something?
Android Authority, TheVerge, CNET, Engadget, MrMobile, Tech Radar, Android Central, the list goes on...!
Iveyyy It's because there was an embargo, so reviewers weren't allowed to post their reviews until now.
Oh I see, thanks! but how come some other channels posted reviews almost 2 weeks prior?
Iveyyy they all have an early access pass from big phone companies, that's why most of the shit load of reviews that were just released are very bland and not very opinionated
ahh I see, thanks guys.
Iveyyy lel at least im not the only one who noticed that 😂 not only english and american channels but tech reviewers from all over the world apparently released the S8 review today ...
why am I looking at this, I can't even afford a S6
I have an overrated zte z max pro.
But, it does get the job done :) I don't have any real issues. And the camera is shit, but does at least have an HDR option, so I've been able to take some solid pictures.
i have the s6 and I dont need anything else on this phone. All these newer S7 or S8 arent anything special
shevagoal69... so you're broke also ...
jonah travisano yea but just slightly less than the OP
Lol agreed. The struggle.
7 months later I still have no problem with my s8+.
This comment just confirms that I am 100% getting the Galaxy 8 instead of Pixel 2.. :)
Me too bro
Umm 2 years later :)
If the S8 isn't the best phone out there at the moment, which phone is better?
Trickery n8
jeffery smith no
the nokia 3310
Amine Otsutsuki 😂😂😂
Note 9
Have high hopes to buy this on 2020
Yup, I'm buying an S5 after all these years (Upgrading from moto G3). Good luck.
TessellatedGuy no one cares lmao
+Nexionic Wtf is wrong with you people? I was just talking about how I bought a samsung flagship after years just like OP is gonna do. Geez.
Don't be tight and get a better phone :^)
Mate you commented the same thing in MrMobile
0:51 The camera detects the infrared light. That's so cool.
Pretty sure every camera will do that
at the end of the video, you said the s8 isn't the best phone available. so what is the best phone available?
maybe the G6
the G6 is a great phone for the price, but doesn't match the S8 on specs or innovations
the G6 is a great phone for the price, but doesn't match the S8 on specs or innovations
"Not the best phone out there".. WTF is this guy smoking
it's an opinion. Some people prefer the G6
Miami Beach Lifestyle Real Estate the next one coming out.. then the next one... then the nexr one... then the next one...
Google pixel 2 😔😔😔
Because the "best" is only an opinion? E.g for some people, the best phone is the LG V20 because it still has a removable battery.
@@timeyinsholaye9169 Yes, but in a review, an opinion needs to be backed up by evidence.
The Beauty and The Beast, all in one. nice Samsung. Very infomative video AndroidA. Thank you!
watching on my new s8! love it😁
Matthew Mark how are you liking the iris scanner?
Matthew Mark is it snappy and responsive??
How's the battery life ? that's my biggest concern tbh
well thats a kidney you will probably never get back
Motherlov'n Jones it works well, but I decided to just use it for the secure folder feature.
Reasons why I like Josh Vergara's reviews:
1. Thorough
2. Clearly and eloquently explained
3. Cool editing
4. His hands
For what my two cents is worth having watched almost all of the major reviewers' videos on the GS8 (and shameful amount of tech videos in general over the years), your review style, videography, editing, insight and delivery are absolutely the best in class. Thanks for the high quality content.
uhh did you say you have an 18 hour work day?????
Lol
Charlie Liu That mean he uses the phone 18 hours a day. He is a reviewer, so I think just using the phone count as work.
For the price, they could put a dual speaker, chose a better position of the fingerprint scanner and improve more LagWiz...
btw, the screen is freaking awesome
Melbourne Dauz They improved the "LagWiz" lol.
how much is the phone?
Eric Lopez Samsung Galaxy S8 is 749.99
Samsung Galaxy S8+ is 849.99
Hopefully you know that they don't have 2 years to make a phone...
The Touchwiz has improved a hell, hell lot ever since the S7.
I really enjoy your video reviews here on android authority. They always help me make decisions on what phone I will pick up next. you guys are the best at giving details on the smaller things that people may not say and giving your unbiased opinion as well. Keep up the good work Josh. Love the S8 review and may pick it up later this year!
Josh's reviews are always a soothing synergy of calmness and enthusiasm. Even in podcasts, I sense a buzz within him whenever he speaks about technology, whether it be fawning over a flagship or being riled up at a letdown; a scarce trait that stands out in this flashy world of CZcams. And that's one of the *infinite* (wink wink video reference 😬) reasons why I subscribed to this channel. Kudos to you, Josh!
You say right at the end you don't think it's the best phone out there?? What do you think is the best phone right now??
Connor Casson G6?
Connor Casson
He says that with every phone, he is probably an apple fanboy.
iPhone X you’re welcome.
i love the new iris scanner.....
cool i love that mobile
maria garcia hi
glad to see Samsung doing a great job overall this year. Once again Josh and the team knocked out another review. Keep it up, hope for many more
Now I know why I loved my Nokia n73 music edition so much. The top bezel on that thing was so tiny, it was beautiful!!
Cons : Less battery capacity, No dual camera, Bad fingerprint scanner placement,
Bixbyyyyyy
Pros : Beside the cons everything is perfecto !!!
Angkor Man cons:lagwiz
Where can I get that wallpaper?
David Mac Asking real questions here.
David Mac IKR
David Mac go to Samsung theme store search for wallpapers and type - " Binod Splash Seventeen
ravi Gupta Can you share that wallpaper? we don't have Samsung phones here.
Yeah, i found it. Look for it in the Splash category.

"We dont think its the absolutely best phone out there" So what`s the best one?
xperia xz premium
His freckles are so adorable lol!!! So is he 😂😘
S8=Beast… enough said
not that enough uncle
Anand Gupta Yes enough said
Anand Gupta exactly
lag >.
beast for the first month, gonna show it's true feature called "lag" after that time
There's something really sad about watching a review for a phone that I already have
The Creativity of displaying some parts of your video on that massive Display was remarkable!
really loved the S8 although I didn't see it personally.
thanks for the review it made me love it way more 👏👏.
great review
watching on my LG G6 and I love it!
Josh GA u bought the worst high end phone
Josh GA I'm with you on this one. If the S8 didn't have the infinity display everyone would be laughing at this phone. It's such a minor upgrade from the s7 edge it's untrue.
Chris Jones they had to rush it to make up for the Note 7 disaster.
welp pray no bootloop
shit me too bro
OLI DAVIS ON ANDROID AUTHORITY!

2:16 Nice subliminal Logitech advertisement
Hey Joshua Vergara, Mr. Mobile sent me :)
While I'm here, just wanted to say great job with the tech reviews, one of my go to channels for latest tech news.
Plus, this is my first ever youtube comment ever...
This is the best😎...
who suck the rest phones...
Galaxy s8..
Love black beauty.
Wow... Android Authority reviews are the best
Do you even mkbhd?
ian twy Do you even MrMobile
Nachor Jr No thanks. The guy can't even hear a difference between low quality and high quality audio.
Unfounded statements like this damage their cred. The S8 "... is going to be one of the most reliable phones in the coming year and probably even beyond". 13:55
Joshua, I love the way you start your videos, man! "The Samsung Galaxy, S8." That pause nails it. Great video! Keep up the good work team @androidauthority. :)
Who else watchin dis on their s8.
what does the estimate say on a full charge? His says 16h on just 70% charge and i only get 12 hours on full charge :(
Me!
They should have had the fingerprint sensor in the back of the phone, right in the middle. where the volume buttons would be on an LG or Asus phone.
Kenneth M they want people to transition towards using the Iris scanner
Hasan Al-habbobi That makes sense from a business standpoint, I suppose. Make what people love inconvenient and inaccessible, and push what new "thing" (technology in this case) you want people to use next into being more accessible.
Stunning phone, I wonder what the next "trend" will be within the tech industry...
Loving your videos watch them every day along with reading your articles on your app.
The next trend just been add cameras
Your Introduction on the s8 itself was hands down awesome,loved it!!
Thanks AA!! In depth and even review, the S8+ is top on my list for my next daily driver. Super crisp footage, great job.
Ollie Davis from Wrestle Talk News makesa cameo! :D
Any one else think Bixby will be fully ready with the Note 8 launch? Keep thinking the S8 is just something to hold folks off intill Samsungs come back phone is really ready & I believe that will be the Note 8. Duel Camera lens, way bigger battery, no fingerprint scanner button everything in homescreen, & last but not least a full working version of Bixby ya sounds like they holding us off what y'all think?
John Merced Agree. And dual Harman Kardon speakers. Waiting for the Note 8.
John Merced I think Samsung will go back to the original design philosophy with the Note 8. It's going to be a beast. 6gb ram, dual camera lens, onscreen fingerprint scanner, tons of s pen features.
I'm getting the S8 plus until the Note 8 comes out. They're both beasts!
I hope! I miss my Note 7! I did not want to hand that phone over and this iPhone 7 plus imo doesn't compare. I'll be glad to get rid of this thing!
AnOrneryIndependent literally in the same boat.. just waiting on the note 8. Miss my 7
Love the way you work around mobiles, the concept of using the s8 as a display to view the android authority opening was beautiful seeing how good the Samsung S8 Infinity screen is. You're one of my fav tech presenter around including few others like mkbhd, Michael fisher & Lewis from unbox.
Just wanted to say thanks for the bixby tour in the video. I picked up an s8 based on a LOT of research but I'll be honest yours is the first video that actually looks at it a little bit (rather than saying "we'll review this when it works"). Keep up the good work, I always enjoy your reviews!
wow i cant wait to see an iphone with a infinity display in 2025! cant wait apple is the best!
asainawsomnes25 I doubt they will make an with iPhone infinity display
Unknown User I doubt they will make a proper display
Unknown User make that 3018
Owain Davies SAVAGE
Owain Davies LMAO
Where is MKBHD?When will the best reviewer in CZcams review the galaxy s8?
I love the cuts in the intro, I've always been a fan of that effect (I'm not smart enough to know what that's called). Keep the great reviews coming!
LOL at the CZcams not able to connect at 2:39 :P
where can i get that paint wallpaper?
william garcia wall art app, splash sectiom
piyush joshi Thankssss
google romero britto images
nice editing❤😘
You guys have some of my favorite reviews for phones. I've followed your page for a couple years now. Keep up the amazing work.
Android Authority is my first subscribed mobiletech youtube channel and it is awesome ever since. Been Josh's fans ever since I started watching AA's videos and absolutely loved his commentary and reviews. Excellent speaking and decent phone makes a enjoyable video to watch. Hope for more collabs between Josh and mrmobile!!!!
...wow josh your review was EXCELLENT it covered everything, the details,etc
I am glad i see a channel like this, you are the BEST,As You ALWAYS have been, I hope you become the best youtuber ever and i KNOW YOU WILL
!BELIEVE..THAT
...AND I LIKE YOU JOSH
If this isn't the best phone out there, what is, in your opinion?
Jeremy Rice No phone is the best because every single one has a flaw.
He said at the end of the video the S8 is not the best, so he obviously has an opinion what the best phone is. I want to know what the best phone is in his opinion.
Jeremy Rice xz premium
iPhone X you’re welcome.
Marcky Marck lmao that's bullshit. Haha. Ur funny.
yesterday I watched this on my IPhone 6s and today watching on my galaxy s8 midnight black... awesome feeling
I've been watching your videos for a while now and I appreciate the in detail content that you all give about your device and app reviews. They're extremely helpful and keep up the great work!👍
plz make video of comparison between samsung s8 exynos 8835 vs snapdragon 835 s8 .. which is faster snapdragon or exynos chipset? plz sir
Di Exynos. Snapdragon for gaming.
who is watching this bc you just got the s8
KuMue Koò-Moó yup
KuMue Koò-Moó how much did u get it?
Me
Hey Josh great video! I just got into smartphones last summer, and you guys were the first tech channel I subscribed to! Keep it up man

Can you please link the Paint Wallpaper on the Galaxy S8 to dropbox please.

3:30 paint splash wallpaper? does anyone have it?

I LOVE you cinematography!! The intro was VERY cool. I always look forward to your next reviews and podcast. :)
Excellent review! Digging the cinematography using the S8's screen at the intro and throughout the video, with your video talking directly to us!
Also, quick question: what's the music playing in the background? I'm really liking it!
Keep up the great reviews! Really helps me pinpoint which phone to get when I get the chance!
SUPPORT
WRESTLETALK !
i love it.....
when you are coming from an older phone like s5 the s8 plus is a insane upgrade so I'm happy :)
Hey Josh great video as always! Loved the opening shot and the pan at 1:40. What camera do you use for these? Just gorgelus shots all around. What do use for the pan? Always fun watching your videos. Keep being awesome.
i want BUY it But i Don't Have MONEY.
to a minimum wage earner the price of this phone is stupidity..!
do you mean it's cheap or expensive? also how much is it?
Eric Lopez $720 is the cheapest goes up to $850
macho clerigo, to the minimum wage earner Chinese $200 dollar phones are targeted not flagships. Learn new skills, get a better job, improve your financial situation and then you'll be able to afford it. I don't really understand your point. Are you saying it's too expensive? Because if yes then you're wrong.
John Willows it is not as simple as this for a lot of people. You are the very gullible consumer that corporations like this absolutely love. The iPhone 7 cost around $220 to manufacture. The S8+ can't be more than $250-275 to manufacture yet they're selling it for $850.
Your last line is absolutely idiotic.
Bru your stupid who cares about what you think nobody else is gonna give two shits obviously all company's just want to make money
You'll never believe this,I was listening to a slowjam podcast and I paused it to hear the vid. The next song to come on in about 20 seconds was no other than Smokey, Agony & Ecstacy! I thought I didn't pause it then when I saw your phone jumping to the beat I said "wait a minute" I had to run it back...
Wow thats a great video with a good description of the phone thumbs up 👍🏻 josh your script and narration is awesome
Great review it helps a lot, Imma buy one if I could earn some money. By the way, I hope you continue getting better and better in every video. I can see certain improvements by this time if you would compare it to previous reviews. That's why I'm confused why don't you have that number of subs but I know that you'll earn it on the perfect time. GOODLUCK. You da best (Just Saying).
Oh ye I have also noticed his improvements!
Good luck getting a case and a screen protector for this model, you'll need it. If the S7 Edge has this minor problem, it just means on the S8 and S8+ it's more pronounced.
The Best Review👏👍💪 AA
Just for those wondering on my S8+ you don't have to push the power or home button first for the fingerprint scanner. I just pick it up and my finger lands there and bam unlocked without really thinking about it. Think they must have programmed it to turn on the sensor when it feels that it is being picked up.
Thinking of upgrading from my S6 to the S8...or should I go straight to the S9?? Love Samsung!
Want one so bad but the fingerprint and bad face just holds me back a bit/ Not to mention that the single firing speaker doesnt help either.
Sampuran Banerjee wait for note then
or go for Sony ZX premium
Sampuran Banerjee according to people who have the Nexus 6p and tried the s8+, they didn't have issues unlocking with Fingerprint scanner with one hand.
Sampuran Banerjee Change to Sony... you won't be disappointed
android authority who is the winner of LG g6 it's still not announced on the giveaway page
Thanks for the review! Can we get a video of all you guys personal phones? like I'm sure each of you have a favorite and we would all like to know what phone you guys use daily
hey joshua,that is some cool editing at the beginning man!
loved the vid,as well as the phone,
keep up with the awesome videos guys you're great!!!
Samsung is love
samsung is the SONY of today's generation. i can remember how amazing sony products were in the 80s and 90s. that yellow sports walkman was iconic as were sony xbr tv's which had stickers that said "it's a sony"
going thru the comments just to find the link for that wallpaper.. :p
but seriously.. can anyone help me with that..!!!
plus.google.com/+basudebchandraits_me/posts/LtDSfpfXvD6
Fantastic video, Josh! Loved the intro and your continually evolving videography!
Keep up the great work!
Great review Josh, really informative stuff. I don't know how u find your camera angles but they are amazing! keep it up.
android authority is among the last😂 sad thing
Please...I need that wallpaper @ 0:52
André Stovall it's probably a stock wallpaper on the S8 so just buy the phone
I'm not attracted to the phone at all. (Samsung devices have burned me in the past. not a fan) Pixel user and will be waiting for generation 2. just thought the wallpaper was fly
André Stovall I love that too, tried looking on the internet but nothing.
+piyush joshi I suggest screenshotting the video at :52 then use reverse image search. I've done it before for stuff like this.
here is the wallpaper drive.google.com/file/d/0BwawM4Wx7rKneGpETmpmbnJhVms/view
As usual a nice review in here. I love the way you make these reviews - from photography to content. Continue with these high quality reviews. Cheers. 👍👍👍
Good review but saying " 60fps 1080p video is a nice addition on the video side" is nonsense, it's been available since s6
nice video
👍👍👍 WOW
I don't really like Google because they sell your data but google assistant works so well and the voice sounds so natural that Bixby just won't be able to beat it.
Two questions: How much coffee did you have during the making of this video?
Did you touch on battery performance? I may have missed it as I don't think you took a breath during the video.
Also, very heart warming seeing you do review videos again.
watching on my Op3t 🙃🙃🙃
Ajay Mohan same

Ajay Mohan OnePlus 5 will be available in June
Remixed Person v8114 whoww .. what sounds cool 😉
Ajay Mohan Same. Hope OP 5 does not move fingerprint sensor to the back.
I found this a very informative video on the S8 explaining the spec's and showing the phone in use. Nice job.
Love the creative intro and video inside the video. Great cinematography. I'm watching even though I already have an S8+ because of the great production value. Also really appreciate your opinions. Keep up the great work guys! I listen to the Podcast every week!
