Bixby On Galaxy S8 Has Pinterest Visual Search Integration
If you’re planning to pick up the Galaxy S8 and use facial recognition to secure the handset, think again.
Furthermore, Phandroid has noted that the unlocked versions of Samsung Galaxy S8 and Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus are essentially tagged at a cheaper price compared with the ones being retailed through carriers.
The DeX Station is a small puck-shaped dock that plugs into an external monitor and essentially gives Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus users a desktop experience.
A similar near edge to edge display will also be included in the iPhone 8, if a new set of leaked photos are to be believed.
The smartphones offer biometric authentication options including a fingerprint scanner and iris scanner, as well as IP68 water and dust resistance, MicroSD support up to 256GB, Always-on display, and fast and wireless charging capabilities. Basically, it works with the Galaxy S8 camera and with previously taken images. The intelligent personal assistant can supposedly do anything on your phone with your voice and touch, but Samsung only demonstrated its capabilities with other Samsung default applications.
This is the reason Google has asked developers to optimise their apps according to the new display with 18:9 or 18:5:9 aspect ratios. What Samsung has managed to do is pretty epic, and we think many will love this phone. Obviously Samsung isn’t sharing any trade secrets, but there’s some obvious improvements in battery technology to make this happen. Both S8 smartphones will have flat screens.
“We must be bold enough to step into the unknown and humble enough to learn from our mistakes”, Samsung mobile chief Koh Dong-jin said at the event after acknowledging it had been a challenging year for Samsung. DeX Station will cost $149.99, which is almost Rs 10,000 and can let you convert the S8 into an Android PC. I’d wager, not too many.
