Every year Samsung and Apple launch their flagship smartphones. The Korean giant recently revealed the Galaxy S8 and Apple will be unveiling the next iteration of its iPhone in September.
The Galaxy S8 is without a doubt a great phone with compelling specifications and hardware. Samsung has used its approach of piling on the device with lot of features to see which one sticks.
Here are few features that the Galaxy S8 has but the iPhone doesn’t:
Iris recognition
User can unlock their S8 just by gazing into the camera lens; it recognizes the irises of your eyes, even if you have glasses on.
However, not many users wind up using this feature, because it requires that you bring the phone up to eye level and hold it about 10 inches from your face which is pretty awkward.
Video enhancer
The Galaxy S8 has a video enhancer feature the contrast and brightness in video apps like Netflix and YouTube. The feature is a battery drainer and users have to manually switch it on from device settings.
Portrait mode
The rear camera on the Galaxy S8 offers a Portrait mode, which simulates the blurry-background effect you usually see only in pro photos. The feature is basically a filter that sometimes tends to get things wrong. The blurring sometimes spills into your person.
Virtual photos
The camera app on the S8 comes with an option that allows users to walk around an object, “filming” it. Later, they can “play it back” by swivelling the phone around in space, changing their angle on the subject.
Bluetooth 5
The new version of Bluetooth has four times the range and twice the data rates of Bluetooth 4. However, the benefits are restricted only to the Bluetooth upgraded devices. The S8 enable users to pair with two existing Bluetooth headphones.
Split screen
The S8 has a ‘multi window’ feature that lets users split the screen into two and run two apps simultaneously, side-by-side (or top-and-bottom). The feature also allows users to adjust the relative size of the windows.
