Samsung Galaxy S8 vs S8 Plus - 10 Things Before Buying! #Helpful Post

etting a sneak peek of that hot Austin

Evans video before it goes live your

guys Johnson here this is an abnormally

long microphone more importantly though

this is the brand new Galaxy s8 but

before you pick one up here are 10

things to know

so first up and maybe most importantly

the Galaxy s8 should not explode now

yeah I get it sounds funny it's easy to

joke about but this is a huge deal and

Samsung cannot afford to have a repeat

situation after the whole notes 7th

Fiasco during the announcement Samsung

did not shy away from the whole battery

deal they affect embraced it and

announced moving forward they now have

an eight point battery inspection in

place which again some people are going

to joke and laugh at it right now to tip

my hat to Samsung for handling it so

well now the second thing to know is

there's not only just a Galaxy s8 there

is also a Galaxy S 8 plus now

surprisingly the Galaxy s8 and f8 plus

are more similar than you might expect

and there really are only two

differences between them the first of

which is the screen size the Galaxy s8

is rocking a 5.8 inch display while the

Galaxy s8 Plus is rocking a 6.2 inch

display they're both rocking 4 gigs of

ram 64 gigabytes of internal storage

both have micro SD card expandability

and really the only other difference

between the two is the battery capacity

the Galaxy s8 features 3000 milliamp

hours for the galaxy s 8 plus is going

to get you slightly more at 3500 now

where it gets interesting though is

despite having the difference in the

screen size both of these share the

exact same resolution come in at 29 60

by 1440 so that actually leads me to

point number 3 which is the fact that

these screens are freakin beautiful if

you're out there wondering what's the

heck kind of resolution is 29 60 by 1440

it's actually very similar to what we

saw on the LG g6 Samsung just decided to

change it up ever so slightly so if the

g6 I introduced an extra long 18 by 9

display for you mathematicians out there

yes I know it is two by one with the

Galaxy s8 and FA plus however this is

slightly longer at eight and a half by 9

so Samsung is screwing up math for

everybody so the idea behind the extra

tall display is it's gonna give you more

screen real estate and more room for

activities when you're playing around

with apps and multitasking as far as

consuming media and watching video it is

still a little bit weird considering the

fact that most of out there is geared

for 16 by 9 but honestly I really like

what Samsung and LG are doing with the

taller displays which you also may have

noticed as the Galaxy s8 n f8 plus looks

very similar to what we've seen in the

past on something like the galaxy s7

edge Samsung is governess the infinite

display essentially with that

fancy-pants buzz

light your name you means is the display

is now edge to edge effectively getting

rid of the pixels and my goodness it

looks good now next up at number four

something that may freak people out

because of that infinite endless display

there is no physical home button so

we've seen Apple implement this with the

iPhone 7 and 7 plus and if you use those

you kind of have an idea of how it works

and how it feels but if this is new to

you it is kind of weird at first 3

personally I don't mind it at all since

of something I'm used to but I know a

lot of people out there really love

their physical home button so let me

know what you guys think with a comment

down below now one thing I've noticed is

that the infinity display is almost kind

of had this butterfly effect on

everything because of the display there

is no physical home button and because

there is no physical home button there

is now no longer a fingerprint reader on

the front of the phone now if you're

freaking out wondering did they remove

the fingerprint reader nope they just

moved it to a stupid awkward place on

the back there are a ton of things that

I really like about the galaxy s 8 and s

8 plus but the location of the

fingerprint reader simply doesn't make

sense

for reasons I have no idea why it is

placed off to the side next to the

camera which makes it kind of awkward to

access this may definitely change after

using it for an extended period of time

but right now I kept wanting to press

the camera and nobody wants to finger

prints on their camera now next up

number 5 like most Samsung phones the

camera on this thing looks like it's

going to be awesome as far as the rear

shooter goes this is rocking a 12

megapixel sensor F 1.7 with oh is now I

will say I was only able to view the

photos back on the phone itself and not

look at them on a computer but initial

impressions so far that the camera is

really sharp

as far as the front camera goes Galaxy

s8 features a pretty impressive 8

megapixel sensor upfront it's got a nice

wide lens and again like the rear facing

camera initial impressions are solid and

just in case you ever thought to

yourself man I wish my phone had some

slightly weird snapchat light filters

built-in now the Galaxy s8 you got it so

next up at number six is the iris

scanner which is going to scan your eyes

to unlock your phone so this is actually

introduced to the galaxy note 7 we of

course know what happened there but it

is brand new to the Galaxy S line now as

far as the iris scanner goes that always

wasn't the quickest option to unlock

your phone but in addition to that

Samsung has now rolled out face unlock

which is much much faster I got a chance

to check that out for myself and it was

pretty much instantaneous you got to

really pay attention when you're

watching the video but if you're looking

for a really speedy quick way to access

your phone face unlock works well so

there's stuff at number 7 joining me

right now is often always wears a small

veterans secret to game wear size down

actually number 7 the galaxy s 8

surprisingly features a headphone jack

that makes it a pad phone though that's

not true

I thought all good phones had to have no

headphone jack isn't that oh my god now

you read the 2017 Tim Cook is brain

washed off today you can't have a

headphone jack and Tim Cook has been how

it works Tim Cook has brain washed off

and ends up out of cramp huh got a cramp

ken what'd you do Dan witchcraft that's

a business in addition is a headphone

jack there is also now USB C on the

Galaxy s8 just like in solid note 7

personally I am a huge fan of USB C and

I wish everything had it so to be one

simple beautiful form factor technology

advancement next up number eight after

that disaster no surprise here with the

Galaxy s8 NSA plus feature wireless

charging now I know someone out there

right now is rapidly typing through

their keyboard wireless charging stupid

no one uses it well that may be true the

one plus I can see to this is that the

wireless charging dock that go alongside

the Galaxy s8 looks really really nice

and I would love to see that on a desk

next up at number nine just like

wireless charging no surprise here the

Galaxy s8 is ip68 water and dust

resistant it is not groundbreaking it is

not new but if you want to use your

shiny new Gauss

guess eight in the bathtub in the shower

you can do it last stubble number ten

Samsung is taking shots at Google

assistant trying to take over with their

new personal assistant Bigsby which

makes me think above the Bobcat honestly

it was kind of hard to get a true feel

of how that works I'm going to hold back

Kyle actually at the device in house and

using myself for a bit but just at the

scene initial reactions the general

consensus seems to do that most people

would not prefer this over Google of

fifteens besides that if you enjoyed the

video make sure to drop a like down

below hit that share button maybe if

you're feeling like me an extra awesome

and if you haven't subscribed make sure

you do so because I'll probably be

giving away a brand new Galaxy s8 soon

there actually is a chance to win a

brand new red iphone right now which you

can check out here this is Jonathan and

I'll catch you guys later
