How is this phone as compared to S7 Edge?
The Galaxy S8 is a great phone overall, but the S7 edge is also quite good. Get the Galaxy S8 if you want the latest and greatest smartphone, but if you have the Galaxy S7 edge already, or want to save some money, you can skip the Galaxy S8 for now. Also, if do you want to buy the Galaxy S8, the Galaxy S8+ is the better option because the standard Galaxy S8 has poor battery life.

Which is good agent SAMSUNG BIXBY or APPLE SIRI?
We haven't tested Bixby yet, but I'd be surprised if it performed better than Siri. The latter has had a headstart of several years on Bixby and in machine learning AI, that much headstart processing user commands and data makes a lot of difference.
By Nachiket, 26 months ago
Mark Helpful (203) Bixby is not yet available in samsung phones, because they aren't ready with it. So, according to your question Siri wins.

Which mobile is best to buy Samsung S8 or iPhone 7 Plus?
Samsung Galaxy S8 comes with new processor and Infinity Display. However, the glass on the phone breaks easily. I would recommend iPhone 7 Plus only for design and build. For everything else, Galaxy S8 is the best.
By Samir Makwana, 25 months ago
Mark Helpful (184) I think iPhone 7 Plus is much better than S8.
By honeykoli12, 17 months ago

Does it have HDMI port?
No, it has a USB Type C port which can be used as a display port if you wish. USB Type C is the god of all ports. It can charge, transfer data and connect to a display too.

It's aesthetically awesome but practically awful.
By powerofgems, 19 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.

Great phone than iPhone.
By Veer, 26 months ago
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.
