The information embargo ended today Galaxy S8, so most foreign technology servers boasted extensive reviews of the new flagship from Samsung. Reviewers overwhelmingly agreed that the "Infinity display" is absolutely stunning, largely due to the fact that the display takes up 80% of the front. Despite the large diagonals of 5,8 and 6,2 inches at first glance, journalists praised the comfortable holding of the phone in one hand.

Dan Seifert of The Verge:
I really like the slimmer shape and the fact that it allows me to have a much larger display without Galaxy S8 used too cumbersome. The Quad HD Super AMOLED panel is really excellent, sharp and beautifully bright even outdoors in direct sunlight. I can say without exaggeration that Galaxy The S8 has the best display I've ever seen on a smartphone.
Brian Heater of TechCrunch:
I've been using it exclusively for a few days now Galaxy S8+ and it fit like a glove. Despite the 6,2-inch display, it felt like a 5,5-inch one iPhone 7 Plus. The phone was easy to handle with one hand, which I definitely appreciate.
Steve Kovach from Business Insider:
This is an impressive device. Galaxy The S8 does have a 5,8-inch display, therefore larger than iPhone 7 Plus, but in fact the body is slimmer and more attractive. Compared to the new phone from Samsung it looks iPhone robust and outdated. We're getting closer and closer to having phones with displays all over the front.
Lance Ulanoff of Mashable:
Today, if you hear that a phone has a 6,2-inch display, you immediately think of a huge body. But Galaxy The S8+ is unusually narrow, with an 18,5:9 display aspect ratio. In addition, the edges are beveled - both front and back - similar to the u Galaxy S7. So the result is a phone that looks a bit elongated, but feels great to hold and doesn't feel a bit big.
Walt Mossberg, reporting for Recode:
Samsung has completely changed the established rule that big displays mean huge phones. Although the smaller of the two new "ace-eights" has a larger display than the largest iPhone 7 Plus, it's much narrower, easier to hold and fits perfectly in your pocket.
But in order for Samsung to u Galaxy The S8 will offer the much-vaunted display with minimal bezels, he had to remove the physical home button. The fingerprint sensor that was integrated in it has thus moved to the back of the phone next to the camera, which is a huge stumbling block. Some reviewers have rightly criticized this move by the South Korean giant.
But as we now know, Samsung tried to build the reader under the display, but it didn't work, so at the last moment it chose the only option it could do to keep the sensor on the phone - it was placed on the back.
Nicole Nguyen from BuzzFeed News:
The fingerprint reader has traditionally always been integrated into the home button. This time at Galaxy But with the S8, the hardware button has disappeared and the sensor has moved to the back of the phone. However, the problem is that the camera next to the sensor is the same to the touch, so I often got it dirty.
Dan Seifert of The Verge:
The reader is placed too high, so I had trouble reaching it with my index finger, even with a smaller Galaxy S8. So I had to stretch my finger a lot to even reach the sensor. The second problem was the location right next to the camera, where I often put my finger on the lens instead of the reader, which always made it dirty
