Our Reveiw:
The iPhone 7 is one of the best phones on the planet, but the Samsung Galaxy S8 has some neat new tricks to give it the literal edge.
Beyond the obvious operating system differences, the Galaxy S8 has a larger, sharper and better screen, a very different – but similarly premium – design, and a higher price tag.
Differences in the camera and performance may be harder to spot, and battery life is about the same *coughs*some says the S8 lasts longer.
Going purely by specs, the Samsung Galaxy S8 looks to be the slightly more powerful phone.
