[PConline evaluation] If you are concerned about the mobile phone ring, you must understand how important the Samsung Galaxy S8/S8+ is for Samsung in 2017, especially in the context of the success of the Samsung Galaxy S7/S7 edge, and the public for their next generation products. Have higher expectations. The appearance of the Galaxy S8/S8+ created by Samsung this time has the most disruptive change since the birth of the Galaxy series, and Samsung, who holds the right to speak of the upstream supply chain, has no exception in the hardware configuration of the new machine. There is no doubt that this It is also one of the best match for future Apple iPhone 8.
In the previous New York conference, the PConline mobile channel has brought the Samsung Galaxy S8/S8+ hands-on experience for the first time, and this official evaluation, in addition to having a higher quality appearance, will also be You uncover the little secrets hidden in the user experience of the Samsung Galaxy S8/S8+.

Configuration parameters
The Galaxy S8/S8+ is the first to enter the 10nm process generation. The National Bank/International version boasts the Snapdragon 835 and Exynos 8895 dual-platforms, all of which achieve Gigabit LTE access. Samsung continues its single-camera design with a front-mounted 8 megapixel camera with F/1.7 aperture and a rear 12 megapixel camera with the same aperture of F/1.7. It supports full-pixel dual-pixel focusing and optical image stabilization (OIS).
Depending on the processor platform, the front and rear cameras use different CMOS combinations. The Snapdragon 835 and Samsung Exynos 8895 processor platforms are the Sony IMX320+IMX333 and the Samsung S.LSI S5K3H1+S5K2L2. Although the suppliers are different, they have the same number of imaging effects.
The biggest highlight is this 18.5:9 full-view hyperboloid screen, where the Galaxy S8 is 5.8 inches 2960 x 1440 resolution, equipped with 3000mAh battery, Galaxy S8 + is 6.2 inches 2960 x 1440 resolution, equipped with 3500mAh battery.
Samsung cancelled the original entity Home button and changed to a screen virtual button. In addition, the Samsung Galaxy S8/S8+ incorporates iris recognition, AKG headphones, and support for IP66 (flowing water)/IP68 (static water) protection.
Appearance: shape and feel, who and battle
As a mobile phone enthusiast for many years, the emergence of the Samsung Galaxy S8/S8+, there was a childhood when the aircraft first saw a stunning cloud in the sky. As one of the most powerful mobile phone manufacturers in this era, every time a new flagship machine debuts, Samsung seems to be full of energy and it seems to be effortless.
In terms of appearance, every time you feel that you should achieve this, it should be the highest level of smart phones, but each time the new machine comes out, it is found that Samsung always brings something more amazing than your goal.
When the hyperbolic Samsung Galaxy S6 edge was released for the first time, the author thought nothing more than the screen was bent a bit, but when he touched the mellow and transparent feeling of the real machine lighting up the screen and the finger from the edge to the screen center, Beautiful and memorable. Even so, even if the process is more mature Samsung Galaxy S7 edge comes out, the author thinks that the double curved surface still gives a kind of useless feeling.
Until the Samsung Galaxy S8/S8+ came out, brought a more perverted full hyperboloid screen, so that the author is convinced that the beauty is the greatest productivity!
The place where Samsung Galaxy S8/S8+ firmly catches your eye is its high screen share. This shock has been experienced in the earlier millet MIX, with great visual impact, as if running out of science fiction movies. Unlike millet MIX's three-sided narrow borders, the Samsung Galaxy S8/S8+ squeezing the forehead and chin area, together with the hyperboloid, gives people an illusion of no borders, which is equally impressive.
Due to the squeezing of the forehead and chin area, Samsung's physical home button and physical virtual buttons on both sides have finally become virtual buttons built into the screen as Google has hoped.
The physical Home key is gone, and the fingerprint identification sensor that has been integrated together is rather paralyzed. It is rumored that originally Samsung intended to use optical fingerprinting to hide it under the screen. This is naturally a delight, but this technology is not yet available. Mature, so we can only rely on the implementation of Note8. Samsung placed the Galaxy S8/S8+ fingerprint recognition module behind. This is not a problem at all. Samsung only puts it on the right side of the camera instead of the center. It is criticized not only for the inconvenience of the position but also for the possibility of accidental touch. Dirty camera, impact imaging. (In fact, when you are used to it, this problem will disappear.)
In fact, the Samsung Galaxy S8/S8+ has two equally convenient unlocking methods: facial recognition and iris unlocking. There are plenty of reasons to get rid of the fingerprint recognition module behind the fingerprint, but Samsung did not do so because it has a very high level. With regard to the super flagship of the degree of concern, any small and small loss will be infinitely amplified by public opinion, which will bring disastrous consequences. Even if it is stronger than Samsung, it can't afford to bet.
In addition, because there is no mimic MIX is so radical, the forehead is still the traditional front camera, earpiece, light and distance sensors, and iris unlock sensor. Due to the narrowness of the face, it is conceivable how dense the opening is, and Samsung is very clever. No matter what the color of the Samsung Galaxy S8/S8+ front panel is black, the hidden openings are hidden.
The BNM’s Samsung Galaxy S8/S8+ offers four color combinations, Midnight Black, Coral Blue, Maple Gold, and Orchid Gray. The overall color scheme is relatively light to give people a low-key calm feeling, in line with the positioning of high-end emperors.
Materials, the Samsung Galaxy S7 edge on both sides of the double-sided 3D glass plus metal frame design, double glass design excellence is self-evident, in addition to more stylish texture, but also to avoid the antenna cutting, so that the back of the machine Oneness is stronger. Disadvantages are also more obvious, such as more slippery.
In the middle frame, the metal swarf of the Samsung Galaxy S7 edge has changed, and a bright-skin-polished design similar to that of stainless steel has been used to make the entire machine look more eye-catching and brings a more unified feel to the front and rear glass.
Finally, talk about the touch, Samsung will enhance the Galaxy S8/S8 + feel to an unprecedented height. One of the most obvious places is that even if the screen size of the Samsung Galaxy S8/S8+ reaches 5.8 inches and 6.2 inches, the width is only 68.1mm and 73.4mm, respectively, which brings out an excellent one-handed grip feeling. The 5.8-inch Samsung Galaxy S8 is even smaller than the previous 5.5-inch S7 edge, almost equivalent to the iPhone 7, and the 6.2-inch S8+ is only slightly larger than the S7 edge. It doesn't have to say much more than the iPhone 7 Plus.
It has always been difficult to have both a large screen and a good touch. This time Samsung has solved it with a super screen ratio and a uniquely slender 18.5:9 screen.
In addition, the two asymmetrical 3D glasses on the Samsung Galaxy S7 edge have finally been completely symmetrical on the Samsung Galaxy S8/S8+, which is beautiful and brings a better grip.
In general, the Samsung Galaxy S8/S8+ is almost impeccable in appearance and feel, and is targeting rare rivals in the mobile phone market.
System: simpler and more fun
System interface and features:
On the system side, the Samsung Galaxy S8/S8+ is pre-installed with a Samsung Experience 8.1 system based on Android 7.0 (the previous Samsung TouchWiz system has been rebranded as the Samsung Experience). The Samsung Experience 8.1 custom system also follows a flat design style with a simpler interface.
In terms of system interface, Samsung Experience 8.1 retains the secondary menu interface (the main menu slides up).
The design and interaction logic of the main menu interface is not different from its Android model. What is more special is that the "negative screen" of its system interface provides the information center of Bixby artificial intelligence assistant, which can quickly view and manage some important information, including schedule, reminders, weather and sports health information.
The drop-down shortcut menu is designed with a large area of ​​white background and is less likely to be depressed than a dark background. The interaction level is further flattened and visually lightweight. In addition, the multitasking menu also uses the mainstream card design.
Samsung Experience 8.1 supports comprehensive savings management and rights management functions for various applications, and the setup menu interface is simple and easy to use.
It is worth mentioning that the Samsung Galaxy S8/S8+ can also automatically adjust the resolution of the screen display. For example, in the normal state, the mobile phone screen can be set to 1080P, and when watching a movie, the mobile phone screen is adjusted to 2K, which can reduce the pressure of the mobile terminal.
Samsung Experience 8.1 provides a number of side screen functions for the Samsung Galaxy S8/S8+ hyperbolic screen. For example, you can add shortcuts, contacts, or display time, weather, etc., as well as practical tools such as rulers and compasses. Tool of.
In terms of featured applications, the Samsung Galaxy S8/S8+ has Microsoft's office software built-in. These softwares have been optimized for orientation and can be expanded by Samsung DeX to run under the desktop environment. In addition, the Samsung Galaxy S8/S8+ also offers Samsung Connet, which can connect smart home appliances, as well as special applications such as S-roaming and S-assistant.
In terms of features, Samsung Galaxy S8/S8+ not only supports mainstream fingerprint unlocking, but also supports iris and face unlocking.
Bixby artificial intelligence assistant:
The Bixby artificial intelligence assistant is also a highlight of the Samsung Galaxy S8/S8+ system. The specific experience of Bixby artificial intelligence can be embodied in three aspects, namely, the intelligent voice assistant, smart reader and intelligent reminder. However, at present, the Bixby artificial intelligence voice assistant has not built a good server in the country, so the experience is not very perfect (subsequent PConline adds a detailed experience). It is worth mentioning that the Samsung Galaxy S8/S8+'s smart map really has a good experience.
Specifically, the smart map is that the Samsung Galaxy S8/S8+ can quickly identify objects in the photos, can help you find the same photos, or even directly provide the relevant purchase connection.
Even more powerful is that the Samsung Galaxy S8/S8+ can also identify buildings in photos and provide information on nearby restaurants.
In addition, the Samsung Galaxy S8/S8+'s smart mapping can also recognize the text in photos, not only can convert the text of the photo into a document, and can even be translated. Samsung Galaxy S8/S8+ map translation feature is provided by Baidu translation, so translation is sometimes not very accurate, but to do simple translation is more practical.
summary:
Samsung Experience 8.1 system interface design is much simpler than the previous version, and the function is still very rich. Of course, iris recognition and facial recognition are also attractive selling points. In addition, the addition of Bixby artificial intelligence, Samsung Galaxy S8/S8+ brings a more intelligent experience environment, these are very worthy of attention.
Camera experience: possible photo quality is the strongest single camera phone
Samsung Galaxy S8/S8+ uses a full-pixel dual-core focusing camera (the first applications are the Samsung Galaxy S7/S7 edge), with 12 million pixels and an aperture of F/1.7. Although the pixels are the same as the previous S7/S7 edge, the sensors It has been upgraded with 1.4μm large pixels, supports optical image stabilization, and camera software has also been upgraded above. Front camera, the pixel is 8 million, aperture F / 1.7, it is worth mentioning that the front camera also supports auto focus.
On the other hand, depending on the processor platform, the front and rear cameras each use a different CMOS combination, the Snapdragon 835 is a Sony IMX320+IMX333, and the Samsung 8895 platform is a Samsung S.LSI S5K3H1+S5K2L2.
Dual Pixel's Chinese name for the full-pixel dual-core sensor technology, was first applied to the Canon SLR 70D above, can improve the imaging focus and tracking focus speed.
Dual-core full pixel can be simply understood as a photodiode
Full-pixel dual-core refers to dividing all pixels in the CMOS into two (dual-core), and two pixels can be independently imaged. Then the computer can calculate the subject and us by comparing the difference between two independent images. The actual distance to achieve fast focusing and tracking focus.
Although the Samsung Galaxy S8/S8+ still uses a single camera design, it has a "selective focus" function that can be used to obtain a very popular portrait shooting function similar to the current dual camera model. The above is a selective focus comparison chart. From the perspective above, the blur effect is quite natural, and I believe sisters will like it better.
1. Samsung Galaxy S8+ on Exynos 8895 platform
Samsung Galaxy S8+; Apple iPhone 7 Plus
Samsung Galaxy S8+; Apple iPhone 7 Plus
From the proofs, we can see that the color of the two machines is relatively bright, and the style of the Samsung Galaxy S8+ is cooler, while the color of the Apple iPhone 7 Plus is warmer (because of the P3 color gamut photos, the configuration file has been converted to color).
2. Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 platform Samsung Galaxy S8+
It can be noticed from the actual experience that the Samsung Galaxy S8/S8+ can be said to be the fastest focusing model at present, and the power of full-pixel dual-core focusing should not be underestimated.
When I got the State Bank version of the machine, the weather was not good, but I still felt that the screen was relatively transparent, and the proofs were brighter than the normal models. Due to the limited time available for the experience of the machines, I believe that we still have a lot to say about the proofs. We will bring more detailed proofs to you later.
Hardware Analysis: Performance Monsters of Top Processor Combinations
As chip manufacturing processes continue to unravel, we gain both performance and power consumption benefits on mobile devices. Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 and Exynos 8895 use Samsung's 10nm FinFET node, and their actual performance is expected.
1 If it is based on the energy efficiency of the new process, Samsung claims that the 10nm FinFET has the following advantages over the previous generation 14nm process: a 30% reduction in chip size, a 27% increase in performance, or a 40% reduction in power consumption.
2 If the energy efficiency of the equipment is taken as the reference dimension, according to the data released by Samsung's official website:
- The Bank of China version of the Galaxy S8 is based on the Snapdragon 835 platform. Compared to the previous generation Galaxy S7 (Snapdragon 820 version), the CPU and GPU performance increased by 26% and 21%, respectively.
- The international version of the Galaxy S8 is based on the Exynos 8895 platform. Compared with the previous generation of the Galaxy S7 (Exynos 8890), the CPU and GPU performance have been improved by 10% and 50% respectively.
State Bank version of the Galaxy S8/S8+ (Shao Long 835)
The Snapdragon 835 adopts a semi-custom eight-core Kryo architecture, including 4×2.45GHz performance cluster and 4×1.9GHz efficiency clustering; the graphics core is upgraded to Adreno 540; SoC integrates X16 Gigabit LTE and dual 14-bit Spectra 180 ISP And other modules.
If the energy efficiency of the chip is taken as the reference dimension, the data released by the Qualcomm official is: Xiaolong 835 Compared to Xiaolong 820, the power consumption is reduced by 25%. In addition, the Snapdragon 835 also brings many advanced features such as fiber-optic Gigabit LTE and immersive VR experience.
In the Geekbench4 benchmark, the National Bank version of the Galaxy S8 has a single-threaded score of 1933 and a multi-threaded score of 5887, reflecting a RenderScript score of 7658 for 3D rendering and intensive computing.
International version of Galaxy S8/S8+ (Exynos 8895)
The international version of the Galaxy S8/S8+'s own Exynos 8895 processor became another highlight of the aircraft. Exynos 8895 joins Gigabit LTE, dual ISP, and supports video recording and playback at 120 frames per second in 4K resolution.
Exynos 8895 uses an eight-core CPU design, including four self-developed performance cores (second-generation feline architecture) and four Cortex-A53 efficiency cores; GPU is a horrible 20-core Mali-G71, with multi-core low-frequency guarantees for a long time. The performance and efficiency of the load.
In the security Bunny benchmark test, the international version of the Galaxy S8 score points to achieve 160,411, which 3D graphics performance score of 63,583, the overall performance of the current Android camp in the top level.
All in all, no matter what kind of processor platform, Samsung Galaxy S8/S8+ is enough to climb the throne of Android machine emperor.
to sum up
Before the conference, many people had already guessed the appearance of the Samsung Galaxy S8/S8+. The design of the ultra-high screen ratio was indeed amazing, but after the real machine arrived, you will find that behind the inverse screen, you still have There are more features worth trying out. From the aspects of body design, system security and camera experience, there is no doubt that the Samsung Galaxy S8/S8+ is the most recognized Android phone with the most comprehensive media and consumer recognition (before the appearance of the Samsung Galaxy Note8, it may not be. one).
The emergence of the Samsung Galaxy S8/S8+ can be said to redefine the "high screen ratio," I believe that the next time there will be more opponents to join the competition, this is not just the legendary "full screen" Apple iPhone 8.
