The Galaxy S8 is being used by Samsung to regain customer trust by redefining what’s possible in safety.

The Samsung Galaxy S8 delivered new great features.

Improved biometrics technologies

An iris scanner, fingerprint scanner and facial recognition so users can select a secure biometric authentication method that works best for them.

Personal assistant, Bixby

We all love to have a personal assistant on our phones and computers, like Siri in iPhone, Assistant in Google, Microsoft’s Cortana, and Amazon’s Alexa.

Samsung is introducing Bixby, which is an intelligent interface that will help users get more out of their phone. With the new Bixby button, you will be able to conveniently access Bixby and navigate through services and apps with simple voice, touch, vision, and text commands.

Contextual awareness capabilities enable Bixby to offer personalised help based on what it continues to learn about the user’s interests, situation, and location.

Users can also shop, search for images, and get details about nearby places with Bixby’s image recognition technology. As the Bixby ecosystem grows, it will connect across devices, apps, and services as a ubiquitous interface, and open new experiences and scenarios to simplify life.

Samsung DeX, turning your phone into a Personal Computer

Samsung is introducing Dex, a unique solution that transforms your smartphone into a desktop by providing a secure desktop-like experience. With Samsung DeX, users can easily display and edit data from their phone, making working from a smartphone faster and smarter.

Samsung Connect, manage your Internet of Things (IoT) devices on your phone

With Samsung Connect, users can easily activate IoT-enabled devices through a quick three-step configuration process and manage all connected devices through one integrated app.

The Galaxy S8 will be available starting on 5 May 2017 and will be offered in a rich colour palette including Midnight Black, Orchid Gray and Maple Gold with more colours to be launched later in the year.

“The Samsung Galaxy S8 ushers in a new era of smartphone design and fantastic new services, opening new ways to experience the world,” said DJ Koh, President of Mobile Communications Business, Samsung Electronics. “The Galaxy S8 is our testament to regaining your trust by redefining what’s possible in safety and marks a new milestone in Samsung’s smartphone legacy.”
