Kuala Lumpur, May 5 \u2013 Samsung Malaysia Electronics yesterday officially launched the Galaxy S8 and S8+, demonstrating how technology at its best helps consumers make meaningful connections and progress.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe firmly believe that meaningful progress can only happen when you dare to defy barriers; and the Galaxy S8 and S8+ are true representations of our technology prowess and fine examples of how we push boundaries. By reshaping the device that we have all come to intimately know and rely on, and adding to it an exciting suite of new features, our latest addition to the Galaxy line-up define what it means to simply \u2018unbox your phone\u2019. The Galaxy S8 and S8+ open a gateway to a rich mobile life that takes you beyond the boundaries of today\u2019s experiences and unlock the full potential of your imagination,\u201d said Lee Jui Siang, Vice President, IT & Mobile Business, Samsung Malaysia Electronics.<\/p>\n
Unconfined by bezels and buttons, and united by a single continuous visual and sound experience, the Galaxy S8 and S8+ are designed to blend seamlessly into one\u2019s life, enabling a more natural interaction between the user and the device. The devices feature a refined \u2018unboxed\u2019 design, enhanced security with new biometric technologies, robust entertainment capabilities and an intelligent new interface to enhance the way people interact with their phone.<\/p>\n
The Galaxy S8 and S8+ build on Samsung\u2019s design heritage with a large Infinity Display, a bezel-less, dual-edge display that takes up more than 80 percent of the phone\u2019s front screen. Visually obtrusive elements are minimal, resulting in more tangible screen space. An invisible Home button embedded underneath the screen functions just like a physical button while Recent and Back buttons are now customisable soft keys.<\/p>\n
The Galaxy S8 and S8+\u2019s subtle curvature flows from the front of the device to the back to create a more ergonomic grip ideal for one-handed operation. The phone\u2019s camera, fingerprint scanner and heart rate sensor have been incorporated on the back of the device in a way that minimises protrusions, ensuring a sleek aesthetic at any angle.<\/p>\n
The Infinity Display of the Galaxy S8 and S8+ are 18 percent larger than the display of the Galaxy S7, making for a noticeably more immersive viewing experience. When watched in landscape mode, 21:9 movies fill the Galaxy S8 and S8+\u2019s 18.5:9 display, while the black bars above and below the picture are minimised, increasing the viewing area by 36 percent, compared to the Galaxy S7.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This, along with the phone\u2019s High Dynamic Range (HDR) Premium capabilities, enables users to see content exactly as the creator intended. Gaming experiences, too, are enhanced, as any game that supports 18.5:9 full screen mode is automatically optimised to fill up the entire screen.<\/p>\n
The Infinity Display also makes it easier to see and do more from a single screen without having to scroll as often. Optimised for multi-window usability, multitasking is made easy, even when using the phone\u2019s full keyboard.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Galaxy S8 and S8+\u2019s 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\u00ae Gorilla\u00ae Glass 5 which is impervious against scratches and external impacts.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
With an easy-to-use filter setting, users can enhance their photos by selecting from a variety of filters, including Auto Filter, which automatically selects one optimised for their photo. Animated stickers and stamps can also now be applied to images when taking photos, right from the native camera app. The camera\u2019s UX has also been optimised for one-handed operation.<\/p>\n
The Galaxy S8 and S8+ provide strengthened security features through the integration of Samsung\u2019s trusted Knox security platform and a combination of new and enhanced biometric technologies. The Galaxy S8 and S8+\u2019s highly secure iris scanner is fast, accurate and touch-free, making user verification easier than ever, adding to the device\u2019s other security feature \u2013 fingerprint scanning.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
