Even though, the Samsung Galaxy S8+ looks the best on paper with the mighty Qualcomm Snapdragon 835, Super AMOLED display, features such as DeX and Bixby and other things like Bluetooth v5.0, we will have to wait for the benchmarks and real world performance of the smartphone before terming it as the best.
The Samsung Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ are expected to be launched officially on 21 April. India launch dates and price points have yet to be announced. We will update the copy accordingly.
