Samsung Galaxy S8 vs Galaxy S7: What’s the Difference? – Hungry Geeks

The Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ are now official, but what has changed over the previous generation? Well…they are more of a refinement of their best strengths and of course some inheritance to the late Galaxy Note 7.

Here is a side to side specifications difference of the old generation to the new one.

Display

Note: Galaxy S8 & S8+ are both curved screens as compared to the Galaxy S7’s flat screen.

Camera

Other differences: The Galaxy S8 now features multi-frame capturing, it is now able to capture three shots in one click and merge them into one. This enhances the possibility to remove blurry shots and even better low light capabilities

The front camera is now also equipped with Auto-Focus with Samsung’s own sticker system for more fun interaction with the front cam. Up to 5 people can be detected by the front camera.
