Carrier pre-orders are beginning to arrive on door steps. In fact if you ordered your Galaxy S8 or S8+ from Verizon or T-Mobile you more than likely already have your phone. If you were waiting on the unlocked version to become available you can pre-order that now. The unlocked version won't...

I have been using the Galaxy S8 for the past several days. Even though the phone has just a 3000mah battery I have found that I can generally get a full days use out of the phone. That being said there are some changes you can make to your device in the way you set it up to get the very most out...

One thing that is great about the Galaxy S8 is the fact that it gives you so many options to secure your device. There are all the traditional options such as PIN, Password, or gesture. Samsung also has a few biometric options with the fingerprint scanner and the iris scanner. They have even...

With the Note 7 debacle Samsung's quality control on the Galaxy S8 pretty much needed to be perfect. It looks like users in South Korea are already complaining of a defect. According to a Korean Herald report some users who pre-ordered the device are complaining that the display features a weird...

Samsung is apparently all in on their Bixby voice assistant creation. When Bixby was launched it was a bit confusing. Why did it need to exist on a phone that runs Android which already includes Google Assist? Bixby seemed a bit redundant. For those of us who will never use Bixby being able to...

Bixby was one of the main selling points when the Galaxy S8 was announced at Samsung's unpacked event. The feature didn't get the sort of fan fare that Samsung had expected, and kind of had everyone scratching their heads. Why would Samsung spend so much time and effort to create a me too app...

The Samsung Galaxy S8 may not be perfect with it's uncomfortably placed fingerprint scanner, face detection that can be tricked, and the fact that it is a bit overpriced. However the biggest change to the Galaxy lineup with the Galaxy S8 may be one of its very best features. The Infinity Display...

It looks like the Galaxy S8+ was able to beat the battery life of the iPhone 7 in an extensive battery life test by Phone Arena. The Galaxy S8+ was able to last 8 hours while the iPhone 7 died after 7 hours and 46 minutes. When you consider the difference in battery size the feat doesn't seem to...

In case you were wondering the Galaxy S8 does shatter when dropped. You can always rely on a few youtubers to test out the durability of new smartphones. TechRax and a few other channels have some how been able to get their hands on the devices weeks before release and have already managed to...

While Samsung didn't announce it at the unpacked event last week they will be releasing a 6GB RAM variant of the Galaxy S8. Unfortunately it won't be available in North America. The only way to get it would be to import it from China or Korea where it will be available for more than $1000! This...

The Galaxy S8 won't officially release until April 21, but you can actually install many of the touchwiz elements from the S8 to your Galaxy S7 or pretty much any Samsung device running Nougat. This is all thanks to a system dump that was released a few days ago. The latest bit of the software...

April 21st is the official confirmed ship date for the Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus. Most carriers in the US have promised this as the ship by date for their pre-orders as well. Telus, Rogers, Videotron, and Bell are giving their pre-orderers a shipment date of April 17th. Of the US carriers...

Google released their own version of Facial Recognition way back on the Galaxy Nexus. It was a heavily embraced feature at first until people realized it could be tricked with a photo. It quickly became a feature that no one was willing to use just based on how insecure it is for someone to be...

One of the key features announced at the Galaxy S8 unpacked event was the all new Bixby assistant. This feature is set to rival Google's assistant and Siri on iPhones. The feature will be built into the Galaxy S8 and will feature its own Bixby dedicated button to activate the assistant on...

A new image was leaked just after the official Galaxy S8 and S8+ announcement showing an S8+ prototype with a dual camera setup. Samsung is known for making several different prototype units before settling on a final design. The particular unit in the photos has a dual lens camera and no...

With every new phone, we almost always ask "what will the battery life be" - of course we want something that will go a full day in case we can't charge halfway thru or maybe we are out & about and not near a charger or battery pack. The Galaxy S8 line will not have a removable battery but that...

Will anybody be pre-ordering the S8 or the S8 Plus in order to obtain a Gear VR with controller? It appears that pre-orders have to placed by April 20th and I am sure that the "freebie" is limited. This means if the Gear VR will help to justify the new phone, you might want to act early as I am...

I think Samsung played it too safe here - gray, silver and black choices (at least that is the only options on VZW at this time). Where is the blue, gold, pink? What color do you think looks the best or what color do you wish they would have released? Sound off below and let us know your...
