Once again defying technological barriers and turning the impossible into the new normal, Samsung Malaysia Electronics recently officially launched the Galaxy S8 and S8+, demonstrating how technology at its best helps consumers make meaningful connections and progress.

Here’s 8 top reasons why you should consider owning one: –

1. The Beauty of Infinity

The Galaxy S8 and S8+ build on Samsung’s design heritage with a large Infinity Display, a bezel-less, dual-edge display that takes up more than 80 percent of the phone’s front screen. Visually obtrusive elements are minimal, resulting in more tangible screen space.

2. See & Experience More: Screen Uninterrupted

The phone’s High Dynamic Range (HDR) Premium capabilities enable users to see content exactly as the creator intended. It is also optimised for multi-window usability, making multitasking easier even when using the phone’s full keyboard. The Galaxy S8 and S8+’s new Snap Window feature enhances productivity by allowing users to pin a specific area from a recent app to the top of the screen, and continue using the area below it. In addition, the Infinity Display is protected with Corning® Gorilla® Glass 5 which is impervious against scratches and external impacts.

3. Great Photos, In a Snap

The Galaxy S8 and S8+ build on the Galaxy foundation with its advanced camera, which offers multi-frame image processing. With this technology, the camera takes multiple photos in rapid succession instead of just one, then selects the clearest image and uses the others to reduce the blur. This enhanced image processing ensures that shots taken when the subject is moving, in low light or when zoomed in are clear and vibrant. The dual-pixel sensor technology, wide aperture and fast autofocus of the 12MP f1.7 rear camera work together to create beautiful photographs even in low-light conditions. The 8MP f1.7 front camera has been equipped with enhanced autofocus features and facial recognition technology that can recognise and track faces to provide clear, focused selfies, regardless of the distance between the user and the camera.

4. All Eyes on Security

The Galaxy S8 and S8+’s highly secure iris scanner is fast, accurate and touch-free, making user verification easier than ever, adding to the device’s other security feature – fingerprint scanning.

The Galaxy S8 and S8+ also provide various security services including Secure Folder, an encrypted folder that keeps private information separate and safe with an added layer of security.

5. A New Way to Interact

With Bixby (Samsung’s new intelligent interface), Galaxy S8 and S8+ learn users’ habits and provide related information, and is easily activated easily with a press of its dedicated hardware button.

6. Beyond Phone Experience

Beyond the essential features and typical phone experiences, the Galaxy S8 and S8+ elevate the experience for premiere mobile connectivity and entertainment with the new Gear VR with Controller (RRP: RM499) and Gear 360 (RRP: RM999). Users can also leave their physical wallet behind with Samsung Pay, turning their Galaxy S8 and S8+ into a digital wallet they can use almost anywhere they would use a credit or debit card. With more than 870 worldwide banking partnerships, Samsung Pay has processed more than 240 million transactions to date.

7. Seamless Transition from Smartphone to PC

Samsung DeX (RRP: RM459) is a new service that lets users use their Galaxy S8 & S8+ as they would a desktop by providing a seamless, secure mobile-to-PC transition. With Samsung DeX, users can conveniently access apps, browse the web, send messages and more directly from their phone on a larger display without having to carry multiple devices or transfer data. Samsung DeX supports keyboard and mouse gestures, thus providing the effortless usability of a PC. Furthermore, with the ability to quickly shift between windows and adjust window size with ease, users can multitask more efficiently.

8. The Galaxy Foundation

The Galaxy S8 and S8+ feature the industry’s first 10nm processor, enabling heightened speed and efficiency. It is also gigabit LTE and gigabit Wi-Fi ready with support for up to 1 Gbps so users can quickly download files, regardless of the file size. And as the world’s first mobile device certified by the UHD Alliance as Mobile HDR PremiumTM, Galaxy S8 and S8+ let you see the same vibrant colours and contrasts that the filmmakers intended while watching your favourite shows. In addition, the Galaxy S8 and S8+ offer next-level gaming experiences with vivid and superior graphic technology.

The Galaxy S8 and S8+ also come with the foundational Galaxy features that include IP68 dust and water resistance, microSD support up to 256GB, Always-On Display as well as fast and wireless charging capabilities. Enhanced by a rich colour palette, both devices are available in three colours in Malaysia – Midnight Black, the all-new Orchid Gray and Maple Gold.

The Galaxy S8 and S8+ retail at RM3,299 and RM3,699 respectively; and are available for purchase beginning 5th May 2017 at all Samsung Experience Stores and authorised dealers.
