Consumer Reports gives its verdict to the Galaxy S8, it is better than the iPhone 7

The Samsung Galaxy S8 has been on the market for quite some time, in fact, it has been long enough considering that the previous launch of the South Korean company tended to explode too easily ... The Galaxy S8 remains unmoved for now to this type of event In fact, on the contrary, it is showing itself as a reference terminal for any type of brand, and as a result of this great work we find the first conclusions.

Consumer Reports, which in the past caused quite a controversy due to the poor score it gave to the autonomy of the MacBook Pro Touch Bar, has returned to the load, this time to be blunt in the choice, The Samsung Galaxy S8 is better than the iPhone 7 according to this medium, and these are the reasons that they have given to their audience.

It was today when the team of Consumer Reports has given its new scores to mobile telephony, giving first place to the latest creation of the South Korean firm. But it is not the first novelty, since the same medium saw fit to place the LG G6 also ahead of the iPhone 7 in its day. We imagine that the very renewed design and the risky bet of both companies has earned them recognition by media of very important international significance such as Consumer Reports.

The Galaxy S8 is the King of telephony

At least they have determined that, more specifically the Galaxy S8 + edition is the one that has been located at the top of the list, followed closely by the Galaxy S7 Edge and later by the LG G6. Sure enough, Samsung's last three high-end models at the top, while LG has managed to place a phone launched just a few months ago in fourth placeThis does not leave the world of telephony too good, although competing with Samsung since the launch of the Galaxy S6 is becoming quite difficult.

The look of the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 + is minimalist, modern, and stylish. The design allows us to enjoy a larger screen in a device of the same size. While the Galaxy S8 feels comfortable in the hand, it is true that you will need both hands to perform certain tasks. It is not the typical phone that we should buy online without physically testing it in a store beforehand.

Even on the smallest model, it is difficult for many users to reach certain parts of the screen.

That has been roughly the general idea that Consumer Reports has been made from the performance and comfort that the Galaxy S8 provides, with a simply beastly design.

The fingerprint reader, a big failure

It is the section of this phone that "more sticks" has been. Anyone who has had a good time in the hands of the Samsung Galaxy S8 (including myself) quickly notices that the fingerprint reader is placed in a very poor way. Although it is noticeably better in the visual design, getting to it quickly is totally impossible, unless you have the hands of The mountain (Game of Thrones). The only thing you do with the fingerprint reader in that position is constantly smudge the camera sensor and get frustrated.

It is not the only section where they have wanted to highlight some deficiency, they have made reference to the fact that while the LG G6 and the iPhone 7 Plus have opted for the dual camera, The Galaxy S8 remains quite closed to its last option, and the camera is the section where the high-end of the South Korean firm has advanced the least.

Could the iPhone 8 equalize the matter

Meanwhile, iOS users have no choice but to wait for Apple, good old Jony Ive will be working on a design that is clearly late, where the front screen will be significantly enlarged and the TouchID will be integrated into the glass, otherwise Samsung will have eaten Apple's toast well in terms of design, something unimaginable ...
