The Samsung Galaxy S8 vs the rest of the world

The much-awaited phone is being touted as the saviour for the brand’s image, says Rajiv Makhni

By the time this column is out, each of you will have reams of information about the all-new phone that must play the role of being the saviour of the Samsung name and honour. Everything about the S8 was leaked a few weeks back and some of it turned out to be true. Finally in a very ‘glitter and glam’ event, the much awaited and anticipated phone turned from theory to reality. I’m not going to waste too much time going into details of the phone. Instead, I’m going to compare it to all the competition.
