It's aesthetically awesome but practically awful.
By powerofgems, 39 months ago
Aesthetically, this product is out of the world. But there are some practical mistakes in its design, like the most important security feature of fingerprint scanner placement. It's just awfully located. This phone was supposed to be comfortable for a single hand usage. That's exactly what is missing in this phone.

If people can buy iPhone then why can't S8? It has all that which Apple doesn't have. It's flagship killer and better than iPhone in every term, even in durability test it can bend easily.
