"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enunfortunately for Samsung they didn't really have anything over the holiday season to compete against the Apple iPhone 7 plus instead they were dealing with one Wicked migraine of a problem with the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 now that's all in the past they're looking ahead to the future with its upcoming fabulet of a phone in the Samsung Galaxy S8 plus right away the most notable difference between the two is in how Samsung is able to cram in a whole lot of screen to the body of the S8 plus comparing it to the iPhone 7 plus it's pretty incredible Samsung is able to maximize the real estate on its phone because the two appear to be similar in size but yet the S8 plus features a significantly larger 6.2in display easily dwarfing the 5.5 in in the iPhone 7 plus and speaking of the displays there's yet again a draw with the S8 plus because of its staggering resolution of 2960x 1440 pixels with so many pixels cramped together it makes it sharper looking and more detailed than the 1080p resolution used by the iPhone 7 plus aesthetically there's no denying the premium feel of the two phones the S8 plus much like its predecessor has a shiny affection for glass which shimmers nicely when light bounces off its surfaces but that glass still feels a bit more fragile in contrast the metal body of the iPhone 7 plus gives it a more substantial feel in the hand honestly it'll come down to personal preference but at least the two offer a degree of water resistance placing the two on top of one another we can make out how the S8 plus features a Slimmer chassis so we're not straining to hold it in our hand however the iPhone 7 plus is a little shorter than the S8 plus regardless though it's still impressive how the S8 plus is able to achieve nearly the same overall dimensions as its rival while yet carrying along a larger screen we spent a short time checking out the two phones in action so we still have a lot to go before we get a good feel for the two of them the iPhone 7 plus proved to be a champ when it comes to snapping photos thanks to its dual camera configuration but don't count out the S8 plus just yet mainly because the S8 line has been pretty reliable with its performance in this area well the one area where we feel the S8 plus eclipses the iPhone 7 plus is in its brand new desktop environment courtesy of Samsung Dex now this essentially allows you to dock the S8 plus and experience a desktop environment where everything's powered by the phone itself it's not a New Concept in Mobile as Windows 10 has its own version but this is still something that the S8 plus has an edge over its competitor beyond that we'll save our reservations between the two phones until we get a better feel for the S8 plus so far however it's no doubt going to be a force to be reckoned with so there you go guys that's a quick First Look between these two handsets if you guys want to learn more about it you can check out our website
