Samsung Galaxy S8 - but is it art? The internet reacts - BBC News

Samsung would have you believe it has redefined smartphone design with its latest top-end handsets, the Galaxy S8 and the S8 . It's true they appear sleeker than before thanks to a decision to elongate their screens, make the home buttons "invisible" and put the fingerprint sensors on the back. But for all the talk of "infinity displays" and "works of art", they remain oblong mobiles that are hard to mistake for anything else. Potentially more groundbreaking is the inclusion of a new virtual assistant - Bixby - that can see as well as hear. Samsung now plans to roll it out to its TVs and other electronics.
