Samsung’s new flagship phone is thinner and more high-resolution than ever. And it comes with a new personal assistant named Bixby.

If you're one of the 69.5 million people in the US that already own a Samsung phone, you might be wondering: Is the Galaxy S8 worth the upgrade?
Samsung&039;s latest flagship device, unveiled today in New York City, is the company&039;s first smartphone launch in the post-Note7 explosion era.
I got a preview of the phone before today&039;s announcement, and, during that briefing, Samsung representatives reiterated their commitment to safety and the new eight-point safety protocol being implemented for the device. The Galaxy S8, which ships in April, will test its efficacy.
Samsung&039;s latest flagship phone is larger (but slimmer) than previous models and has a brilliant display with even more pixels packed in. It&039;s an elegant device with curved edges all around, but the most note-worthy Galaxy S8 news is on the inside. “Bixby” is what Samsung calls an “intelligent user interface agent” and allows users to perform tasks with their voice. It&039;s an interesting update, considering Google&039;s voice-enabled AI, Google Assistant, already ships with phones running Android, the Galaxy S8&039;s operating system.
Stayed tuned for a full review, but until then, here&039;s a look at the Galaxy S8 and S8+.

There are two sizes: the Galaxy S8 and the Galaxy S8+.

The smaller Galaxy S8 has 5.8-inch display, while the Galaxy S8+ has a 6.2-inch display. That&039;s much larger than last year&039;s Galaxy S7 and S7 edge devices, which were 5.1 and 5.5 inches respectively. However, the devices&039; edges are curved on all four sides, which makes them seem smaller than it actually is.

It’s even slimmer than the S7 – but by just 1.5 millimeters.
