There are people who think that Sony still continues to beat the other technological companies and their technology is the best and the more advanced than the technology of any company, but, already Samsung surpassed Sony in technology there is some good 10 years and in importance even more years. The Samsung conglomerate and even Samsung Electronics beat Sony there are many years as technologically as financially.

AnonD-77443, 19 Apr 2017You did notice all the noise on the V20 photo?... its ever ... moreIn fact I had to say the opposite. S8+ photo looks washed out with too much sharpening applied with less details (however this may come more pleasing to some people). However S8+ image is better than G6 photo. But we know that G6 has different sensor as well.
Just check out Sponge Bob (shows very little difference) and little donkey. Those 2 figures are on the boundaries of the frame. They are sharp as tack on V20. For S8+, extra detail is missing.

I'll give you the metro map even though the V20 looks washed out.

S8+ photo would be better if the sharpness wasn't set so high. When compared to V20, S8+ is second. Just check out UK Pound and USD details (if more, look at the metro map as well), texture.

Below is the low light studio comparison between S8+, V20 and Mate 9.

Imperator Neubaticus, 19 Apr 2017your exaggerations are laughable. obviously you're hell ben... moreWho are you? Are you the lawyer of the person that I responded?
S8+ will surely be better than XZ (of course; S7 Edge was better as well). The comparison had to be done with better camera phones (which has 2 cameras as well). I didn't even say P10 or iPhone 7 Plus. Mate 9 & V20 are 50% cheaper than S8+. Sad but true. If you don't accept that fact, go and let your eyes checked. If you are a desperate fanboy (who is unhappy with this phone), it is your problem :)
1 camera in such an expensive phone is bulls..t, red tint on the screen is even more desperate failure. It is even on the review phone. I am LMAO.

Honestly, Sony is competing for the last bit of scraps of the market share and don't pose any kind threat to the top dogs...don't forget, Nokia flagship is coming as well, they are a threat to Sony. Competition...I'm all for it.

no matters how powerful CPU Samsung used, if they still using Android lag still will be happen. Samsung need to build their own OS. so easy to them to optimize like iOS. good luck for S8/S8+. Iphone X will coming soon.

It shows the l... moreWhy you compare S8+ to XZ? Compare it to Mate 9 & V20 (which costs 50% of S8+ price by the way). Honestly speaking (after pixel peeping some hundreds DSLR's in dpreview reviews all through the years) V20 photos are still better than that of S8+. S8+ low light studio photo is too oversharpened and lost its fidelity.
Only 1 back camera is another problem. Note 8 will come with 2 cameras. So, after 4 or so months, this phone will become old school!
From a photographic point of view (from audiophile point of view as well) I couldn't see any quality points to justify its strathosperically high 1280-EURO price tag here in Turkey (while V20 & Mate 9 are costing less than 50% of its price).
That red tint on the screen is just ugly! It is right over there on the review unit as well. Just check out the page 6.Performance where S8+ sits next to G6. It is bad for such an expensive phone. 1280-EURO phone with an inevitable red tint on the screen. What a shame.

AnonD-115391, 19 Apr 2017So I read the review. Some of my thoughts are similar. But ... moreI agree with you..
I held this phone the other day at samsung store.
It didn't feel premium, it's almost like glass toy feeling in my hand.
HTC10 is much better premium built compared to S8, but samsung giant marketing budget wants you to think otherwise!

It shows the low light studio for the S8+, Xperia X (23MP) and Xperia XZ (19MP). The S8 blows them away.
The S8 cam is the same as S7 in basic specs but look at the studio samples and the performance is a big step up in low light.
