The Samsung Galaxy S8+ is arguably the most innovative phone on the market right now. From a design perspective, they are stunning devices to look at and hold, largely due to the infinity display that melts into the sturdy metal rim. Their software is also really polished -- usually a sore spot for Samsung.
At the end of the day, the Galaxy S8+ is a phone I’d recommend to most buyers, but only if you’re willing to put up with its fragility. At over $800 outright, it’s an expensive handset, so it’d be devastating to see it shatter within a few weeks. Keep good care of it, though, and you’ll be rewarded with a fantastic range of hardware that could just be worth its high asking price.

Overall, the S8 is a relatively conservative and predictable device — anyone that has been paying attention to Samsung’s designs over the past couple of years could see that this is where the company was headed. But it did take risks by pushing forward with an unproven screen shape and going all-in on curved designs, which haven’t been universally liked in the past.
More importantly for everyday life: battery life. We get the impression that Samsung did what it could to guarantee maximum safety and avoid exploding smartphones. This is understandable, but as customers, we are disappointed because we expected Samsung to put forward the best flagship possible. But the true verdict lies in our tests: neither the Galaxy S8 nor the S8+ offer this experience. This, and the huge price tag, has cost it its 5 stars. This Galaxy S8+ gets 4.5 stars because it's a very good smartphone, nothing more nothing less.
