Samsung launched its new flagship Galaxy S phones, aka the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ in India on Wednesday at a price of Rs 57,900 and Rs 64,900 respectively. The Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+ will be available for buying starting from May 5 -- with pre-orders beginning from today -- both online and offline in as many as five colours: Midnight Black, Orchid Grey, Arctic Silver, Coral Blue and Maple Gold. Both the phones will ship with AKG-tuned headphones.

Samsung first announced the Galaxy S8 and S8+ at its Galaxy Unpacked 2017 event in New York in March. Samsung's new flagship phones have some new tricks up their sleeves, and some that have been carried forward from last year's Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge, most notably water-proofing and expandable storage. The Galaxy S8 and S8+, which are successors to last year's Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge, come with a near edge-to-edge design, an unusual 18.5:9 'Infinity' display and Samsung's proprietary Bixby virtual assistant.

Both the Galaxy S8 and the S8+ are exact replicas of each other on first look. The Galaxy S8+ is simply a larger Galaxy S8 with a bigger battery. Samsung isn't launching a new Edge phone this year, because probably, both its new Galaxy S phones have just the right amount of curves and Edge-functionality built right into them. There was no need for a stand-alone curved-display phone this year round.

Speaking of which, both the Galaxy S8 and S8+ still boast of a glass -- Corning Gorilla Glass 5 this time round -- and metal body, but unlike their predecessor phones, Samsung's 2017 flagships have near bezel-less screens. The Galaxy S8 and S8+ are longer and narrower than their predecessor phones giving users more real estate to work upon. While the Galaxy S8 is a 5.8-inch phone, the S8+ has a 6.2-inch screen. Both the phones boast of a 2960x1440 pixel (WQHD+) resolution and Super AMOLED panels. The Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ also come with Samsung's trademark always-on functionality.

Both the phones are powered by a 2.3GHz octa-core Exynos 8895 processor clubbed with Mali-G71 MP20 GPU and 4 gigs of RAM along with 64GB of internal memory. The dual-SIM phones run Android Nougat-based TouchWiz UI -- Samsung Experience UX -- and support 4G LTE connectivity. These phones also come with Samsung's own take on virtual assistance, via Bixby and house a dedicated Bixby button on-board.

Both the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ come with a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner, an iris scanner and facial recognition for biometric security. Both the phones come with Samsung Pass to store all your passwords in one place. Samsung Pay is also supported out-of-the-box. The Galaxy S8 and S8+ also come with a Windows Continuum-like feature called Samsung DeX that allows you to run supportive mobile apps on a full-scale monitor for enhanced productivity.

On the camera front, both the phones come with a 12-megapixel 'dual-pixel' rear (with f/1.7 aperture and optical image stabilisation) and an 8-megapixel front shooter combo. While the rear camera is largely the same as the one in last year's Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge, Samsung has made software tweaks to enhance post-processing that should result in slightly better results. At the same time, the camera app now houses a barrage of fancy new animations to add AR effects to photos. The front camera, meanwhile, now comes with autofocus in addition to the bumped up resolution (5-megapixel in last year's Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge).

While the Galaxy S8 uses a 3,000mAh battery, the Galaxy S8+ houses a bigger 3,500mAh battery. Both the phones support wireless and quick charging technologies (via USB Type-C port). Samsung's new flagship phones are also the first smartphones in the world to support Bluetooth 5.0.
