Samsung really needs the Galaxy S8 to be a win. Here are my first impressions

Samsung seeks to up their game and reputation with the release of its new life-proof Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus. The S8 phones greatly reduce the bezels. NEW YORK--Samsung took the wraps off a premium smartphone that it hopes will at long last get you to stop talking about that other smartphone. The highly anticipated new S8, and its larger sibling the S8, are fast, sturdy, good looking curved glass phones, with 64GB of expandable storage, large and stunning displays (5.8 inches and 6.2-inches, respectively), iris scanner, and a new AI assistant named Bixby. It's all packed in a relatively compact design.
