Korean company Samsung didn’t just have an epic fail with their Galaxy Note 7 phone; they had a publicity disaster. In addition to the Note 7 and its fire-catching battery, Samsung also had a washing machine that exploded while in use. Samsung’s problems remind us that the next evolution in design could be a success or fail.

Luckily reviewers and users of the new Samsung Galaxy S8 are pleased with the iteration of the Galaxy, so Samsung’s former setbacks are no reason not to give it a chance.

Design

The new Samsung Galaxy S8 has a sleek design that is both slimmer and longer than most smartphones. The front of the phone is made entirely of glass — there is no longer any “home” panel, and the fingerprint reader has been moved to the back of the phone. Other popular features are its ultra-wide display, its high-level screen revolution, and its display’s high color contrast. Plus, the phone is amazingly durable.

Operating System

The S8 Galaxy runs on Android 7.0 Nougat. If you’re not familiar with the new operating system, it offers several useful features, including the functionality of running two apps at one time. The S8 also runs Edge software, which lets users shortcut links to contacts and apps.

Special Features

A popular feature of the S8 Samsung is its new and improved megapixel camera. The camera is designed to help you take pictures in low light, zoom in and out with better results, and make sure your photos don’t blur.

If you’re worried about your phone’s security (which, of course, you should be), the new Samsung Galaxy S8 has a new biometric ID: you can enable iris scanning or facial recognition so you’re the only one able to unlock your phone.

Even though Samsung’s reputation has been tarnished in the last few years, the new Samsung Galaxy phone should help them rebuild users’ trust. With cool new features, a sleek design, and an improved functionality, the new Samsung Galaxy S8 is certainly worth a test drive.

The new Samsung Galaxy S8 is an impressive smartphone: it is visually stunning in design, water-resistant, has an incredible processor, and it has wireless charging capabilities, among other features. It’s also powerful enough that you can use it to play GameCube games. If you just got a Galaxy S8, or if you’re a fan of smartphone gaming, use Game Booster to improve your gaming performance on your Android:

Although the Samsung Galaxy S8 is an impressive device, smartphone gaming can always be further improved. Game Booster will boost your phone by freeing up RAM so that you can play games even faster. To experience your Android’s gaming phone mode, you’ll need to launch all of your games through the Game Booster feature. But this is a small effort to make to experience boosted gameplay on your Android — especially if your phone is tasked to play old GameCube games.

A Powerful Android for Gaming

The Samsung Galaxy S8’s ability to play GameCube games was initially revealed by a YouTube user. The YouTube user was able to use the Android Dolphin emulator — which can run GameCube and Wii games on Android — to play various GameCube games. While this is usually a difficult function for a smartphone to perform, the Galaxy S8 is able to recreate the experience rather smoothly.

Some of the best GameCube games of all time include: The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, Mario Kart: Double Dash, Super Mario Sunshine, and Super Smash Bros. Melee. The YouTube user tested out all of these games except for Mario Kart, and found them all to perform very well on the Galaxy S8.

The Galaxy S8 is the first Samsung smartphone that has been able to play games from gaming consoles rather seamlessly. It has a much more powerful processor than previous versions. Many Galaxy S7 users, for example, could not emulate various video games without also experiencing lagging and other issues.

The Future of Gaming on Smartphones

As smartphones further improve, we’re likely to see more classic video games resurfacing, and even smoother gameplay. Whether or not you’re a fan of classic GameCube or Wii games, there’s no doubt that the Galaxy S8 is a great smartphone for gaming. If you’re a huge gamer and you’re in the market for a new phone, you can’t go wrong with the Galaxy S8 — especially if you further boost your device with Game Booster.

Samsung Offers Discount for S8 to All Note 7 Owners

Many Galaxy Note 7 users have been reluctant to hand over their phone, burning battery issue or not. While it may seem a little funny, it’s easy to see why: there are no other Samsung phones that offer the exact same functionality.

Unfortunately, it could be awhile before we see something from Samsung that lines up to its Note 7 (minus the hazardous battery, of course). The latest rumor is that Note 7 users could snag the Galaxy S8 for free.

The Note 7 was a phenomenal phablet for many reasons. The innovative iris scanner added sci-fi fun with a nice dose of security. The size was ideal, users enjoyed the dual-lens camera, and the screen was wonderfully crisp and clear.

For those Note 7 owners mourning the loss of their phablet, it’s possible that Samsung may just help take the edge off with a zero cost Samsung Galaxy S8.

It’s no secret that Note 7 owners were displeased. It’s a hassle just to deal with the setup of a new phone, getting all of your favorite Android apps onto it, connecting social networks, and getting used to a different layout. Learning that your phone was personally dangerous — well — that was a lot for some previous Note 7 owners to take.

Samsung is suffering for it. Sales are down and people are mad. Dissatisfied customers cite a lack of compensation offers and are threatening to sue. Could this be Samsung’s effort to please the masses? It’s no surprise that Samsung might be thinking of offering alternative compensation. It could help placate their frustrated users and win them over again.

Damage Control

It might be some time before we learn whether or not Note 7 owners will get a free Galaxy S8. The new device won’t be released until February 2017. This time around, the battery may be supplied by another brand.
