Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus

 

Those searching for an Android device will probably notice that Samsung have a long and successful history. The popular Galaxy series helped Android users achieve the same level of immersion and quality enjoyed by iPhone users, while still being able to offer something original.

Both the Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus were released back in April 2017. Aesthetically, it would be difficult to determine the exact difference between the two, but on closer inspection, there are some differences that you should be aware of before making a purchase.

Refurbished Samsung phones include what you would expect from a premium Android device, including a fingerprint sensor and NFC capabilities. In this regard, there will be little reason as to why any difference should be seen between the two devices from a performance perspective.

Although the Galaxy S8 offers slightly better specifications, this isn’t to say that it’s the most suitable choice in every instance. An overview of the differences between the two devices is as follows.

Samsung Galaxy S8 Specifications

The Samsung Galaxy S8 contained a 5.8-inch super AMOLED screen that can deliver a resolution of 1440 x 2960. A rear camera offers dual-pixel 12MP while the front-facing camera is still impressive at 8MP.

As well as taking high-quality photographs, the Galaxy S8 can also capture video in the following formats, along with slow-motion support.

·         4K

·         1080p HD

 

·         720p HD

Performance is also impressive thanks to 4GB RAM and an Octa-core processor, making it the ideal device for those that loving gaming on the go. The 3,000 mAh battery allows for up to 20 hours of talk time, although users do need to consider other usages, such as browsing the Internet and online gaming.

The Samsung S8 64gb price is bundled with Android Nougat, which can be updated to Android 10. The 64GB memory is expandable to 256GB via the use of a MicroSD card.

Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus Specifications

As with other iterations of the Galaxy series, the main difference between the S8 and S8 Plus is the size of the screens, which now measures 6.2 inches. There is also an improvement made when viewing videos thanks to the addition of a Quad-HD display which delivers a resolution of 2960 x 1440.

Another area of improvement is the size of the battery, which is now 3,500 mAh, allowing for 24 hours of talk time. Although a slightly larger battery may not be a deciding factor for some, some would welcome the addition of a bigger battery, especially those that enjoy consuming media on their device.

The main differences between the two handsets are the display and the battery. As both the screen and battery are larger with the S8 Plus, consumers can expect to pay slightly more when it comes to price.

However, the price paid for the Samsung S8 plus 64gb is worthwhile if you’re constantly running out of power, or just want to get the best from your media experience.
