5 Reasons To Buy The Samsung Galaxy S8

The Samsung Galaxy S8 is out now and is as impressive as all the rumors suggested.

5 reasons to buy the Samsung Galaxy S8

Here we present what in our opinion are the 5 best reasons to buy the Galaxy S8 and not the S7 edge or other terminals on the market.

Bixby Virtual Assistant

The new Galaxy S8 arrives with a virtual assistant called Bixby that differs greatly from the other artificial intelligence we know, such as the Google Assistant, the Apple Siri or Microsoft's Cortana.

The main attraction of Bixby is that it is not only made to answer general questions about places of interest or pending appointments, but that its functionality is much broader and can help you carry out various actions within the mobile, such as sending a photo that You are seeing a friend without having to leave the Photo Gallery.

In addition, Bixby understands what you are doing on the mobile and will offer you his help whenever he feels he can be useful and save you some time.

Enhanced camera

The Galaxy S8's camera uses a sensor with the same 12-megapixel resolution and F / 1.7 aperture as the previous generation, but the new camera comes with several major improvements.

For example, the Galaxy S8's camera incorporates the same technology as the Google Pixel to produce more detailed photos by taking three consecutive photos. Simply put, the software selects the best photo of the three and uses several special algorithms in order to reduce noise.

On the other hand, the S8's camera will also work in conjunction with Bixby, and every time you take a photo of an object or landscape, the virtual assistant could give you more details about what you're photographing.

Optimized design

This is already evident when looking at the photos, but it must be said, since the Galaxy S8 brings a design with a larger screen without changing much the final dimensions compared to the previous generation. Below you can see the exact figures:

• S8 dimensions (5.8-inch screen): 148.9 x 68.1 x 8 mm S7 dimensions (5.1-inch screen): 142.4 x 69.6 x 7.9 mm

Samsung DeX

The Samsung DeX is a dock-like device that will allow you to turn the Galaxy S8 into a desktop PC. Some of the smartphone apps are already optimized and can be used on a large monitor using a keyboard and mouse. Samsung said it will work with more manufacturers, such as Google and Microsoft, to also optimize their applications.

Promotions

At this point, the promotions for the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge have practically disappeared, although both terminals can be purchased with about 200-250 euros less compared to their original prices.

Even so, both the Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus bring various promotions to attract buyers, such as a free Gear VR helmet or Harman AGK headphones with a value of $ 99. Other stores may give away microSD cards or other accessories.
