The new smartphones “push the boundaries of traditional smartphones” and feature a “seamless hardware design and a variety of new service offerings”.

The devices’ features include an Infinity Display and an array of new services and apps.

The Galaxy S8 sports a 5.8-inch display with a bezel-less design, made from Corning Gorilla Glass 5. The Galaxy S8+ features a similar 6.2-inch display. The recommended retail price of the Samsung Galaxy S8 in South Africa will be R15,499, while the Galaxy S8+ will go for R17,499.

The Galaxy S8 and S8+ also “offer a robust portfolio of products and services”, elevating the devices for premiere mobile productivity and connectivity, said Samsung.

This includes compatibility with the new Gear VR with controller, and the new Gear 360 – which can create 4K 360-degree videos and 15MP photos.

Samsung also punted its DeX solution, which “transforms your smartphone into a desktop”.

“With Samsung DeX, users can easily display and edit data from their phone, making working from a smartphone faster and smarter,” said Samsung.
