IT168 Review Since its official release at the end of last month, Samsung Galaxy S8|S8+ has caused a rush to buy. Especially during the 618 e-commerce promotion, all major mainstream channels have given very large discounts, and the Galaxy S8|S8+ is almost sold out. In particular, Wuyu Blue, the newly added color scheme, is very popular among users and is in short supply. This is extremely rare among mobile phone products priced above 5,000 yuan. In this article, let’s briefly talk about why users are so enthusiastic about purchasing the expensive Samsung Galaxy S8 series mobile phones, especially the Wuyu Blue one. Why is it so hard to get one?

Super stunning design of full-view curved screen

In fact, starting from the Galaxy S6 series of mobile phones, Samsung’s flagship mobile phones have greatly improved in appearance design and craftsmanship, and have made great progress. And, until now, curved screens and double-sided glass have also contributed to the excellent quality of S series mobile phones. At present, high screen-to-body ratio has increasingly become a mainstream trend in mobile phone design. This time, the Galaxy S8 is also released in two versions, but it boldly cancels the direct-screen version and adopts the latest design of "all-view curved screen". This is not only in line with market trends, but also reflects Samsung Mobile’s strong innovation leading the industry.

(The one I have is S8+, so this article uses S8+ as an example) First of all, on the front of the fuselage, the Galaxy S8+ uses a 6.2-inch screen. The use of flexible screens makes it almost Boundless visual effect on both sides. What’s special is that the screen ratio used by the Galaxy S8+ is 18.5:9. Coupled with the curvature design on both sides, the whole machine is visually much longer and narrower than the common 16:9 screens on the market.

On the front, in addition to the further narrowing of the "forehead" and "chin", the Galaxy S8+ also cancels the Home button at the bottom of the fuselage, leaving more space to increase the screen-to-body ratio of the entire machine. .

These radical and bold designs result in a super shocking "full-view curved screen", which has an extremely shocking visual experience when watching videos or playing games, especially games like "Honor of Kings" Competitive battle mobile game. Therefore, the Samsung Galaxy S8 series mobile phones are popular among many "Honor of Kings" players, and some players even call them "mobile phones specially designed for gamers" and "the ultimate five-kill weapon of Honor of Kings".

IP68 dustproof and waterproof

The demand for waterproof mobile phones first came from people who like outdoor sports. For the sake of waterproof performance, most three-proof mobile phones are designed to be ugly. And stupid. However, as mobile phones participate in more and more scenes in people's lives, their use time and space have been greatly extended, and waterproofing of mobile phones has increasingly become a need for ordinary users. In order to meet the waterproof requirements of mobile phones, the internal structure of mobile phones is generally very compact and needs to be redesigned, which greatly tests the design capabilities of mobile phone manufacturers. So until now, it can be seen that only a few flagship mobile phone brands can make waterproof mobile phones.

Samsung Galaxy S8+ has reached the IP68 dustproof and waterproof level. The waterproof testing conditions represented by the IP68 level are: 30 minutes of testing in non-moving clear water with a depth of 1.5 meters. This level can fully meet the daily waterproofing needs under normal circumstances. Save yourself the worry of water damage.

New upgrades, unparalleled night shooting capabilities, industry benchmark for photography

As early as several generations of mobile phone products ago, the imaging level of Samsung Galaxy S series mobile phones has surpassed the iPhone, becoming The benchmark for photography in the smartphone industry. And, since then, it has been leading the industry. After the release of the previous-generation Galaxy S7 mobile phone, Samsung directly took the top spot in smartphone photo quality with its dual-pixel dual-core focusing technology and F/1.7 ultra-large aperture. However, with the release of the iPhone 7 Plus, equipped with dual cameras, Apple seems to be overtaking in a corner. But soon, the advantage of iPhone 7 Plus was overtaken by Galaxy S8.

Samsung Galaxy S8+ uses Sony’s customized IMX333 sensor, which supports up to 12 million effective pixels, F/1.7 aperture, OIS optical image stabilization, and full-pixel dual-core focus. Judging from the parameters, IMX333 seems to be almost the same as the previous generation IMX260. However, the Galaxy S8+ supports 8x digital zoom and can also achieve multi-frame synthesis in an ultra-short time, raising the imaging quality to a higher level.

Based on the feedback from users and various evaluation media, the picture quality performance of Samsung Galaxy S8+ is significantly better than that of iPhone 7 Plus. Especially in night shooting scenes, the Galaxy S8+, equipped with full-pixel dual-core focusing, crushes Apple in terms of imaging quality and focusing speed.

The Wuyu Blue color scheme is extremely fashionable

Samsung Galaxy flagship mobile phones have always paid no attention to the color. This time, the Galaxy S8+*** is launched in four versions: Dream Gold, Smoky Quartz Grey, Mysterious Night Black and Wuyu Blue. Among them, Smoky Quartz Gray and Wuyu Blue are the new colors launched this time, but Wuyu Blue is more popular.

It is somewhat different from the coral blue of the previous generation Galaxy S7. The newly launched Foggy Blue is lighter in color. Coupled with the curved design on the back of the fuselage, the foggy blue version of Galaxy S8+ highlights a unique and unique texture.

And in summer, the light blue echoes the hot summer very well, and many women even use it as a fashion item to wear when going out. This is an important reason why the Wuyu Blue version is currently selling so well.

Powerful performance, advanced 10nm chip

The Chinese version of Galaxy S8+ is powered by the Snapdragon 835 processor. There is no doubt that this is the top chip this year. It has been adopted by some flagship mobile phones. The Snapdragon 835 chip is based on Samsung's 10nm manufacturing process. Compared with 14nm, the 10nm process makes the chip 27% faster, 40% more efficient, and smaller in chip area.

The Snapdragon 835 uses the Adreno 540 GPU, and its graphics processing performance is 25% higher than the previous generation Adreno 530. Combined with the GFXBench running score data, Tyrannosaurus off-screen is 109fps, and Manhattan is about 40fps off-screen, which is definitely the industry leader.

Overall, with the improvement of process and architecture, the performance of Snapdragon 835 has been steadily improved and the performance is powerful, providing hardware guarantee for playing large games.

In addition to the above mentioned, Samsung Galaxy S8+ is also innovatively equipped with iris recognition, facial recognition and fingerprint recognition. Especially facial recognition, which can "unlock the phone with just one glance", has a very good experience. In addition, purchasing the Galaxy S8+ also comes with Samsung’s exclusive butler service, which provides 6-month discounts on screen replacement, battery performance testing and optimization, 50% off battery replacement, and many other services to fully protect users’ safe and secure use.

Based on these strong selling points, Samsung Galaxy S8|S8+ has been well received during the period since its launch, and demand exceeds supply. Especially the newly added new color of Wuyu Blue has become the hottest new flagship.
