Better options for consumers as Samsung Galaxy S8, S8+ comes to Nigeria in May

The predictions are over and the wait is almost over as Samsung Electronics has finally introduced its new Galaxy S8 series which they say will be available in Nigeria on May 5, 2017.

The Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 plus, which will be available for sale in the United States of America on April 21, 2017, and in Nigeria in May 2017, is packed with enhanced features including the new voice technology ‘Bixby’ and face recognition technology.

Recall that in January 2017, BDTech wrote a detailed feature about smartphones to expect in 2017 and Samsung galaxy S8 series was on the list of smartphones that we could not wait to finally see, as a lot of tech enthusiasts, anticipated what Samsung was going to do next. Although it was almost certain that Samsung was going to release the phones in 2017, details such as dates of release and additional features were unknown. Tech enthusiasts however predicted that there would be two models and the newest creation will have the entire surface covered in a display (wider displays) and some predicted that the new devices will have optical recognition technology which it does, but Samsung went beyond that and included the facial recognition technology.

In an exclusive media viewing of its ‘unpacked’ event which took place in New York City, USA, the features and additions of the new devices were explained in detail to show that the smartphones have been carefully built and crafted to push the boundaries of traditional smartphones.

Addressing the media on the new devices, Paul Lee, Managing Director, Samsung West Africa said; “Think of anything you would like your smartphone to do for you, and the Galaxy S8 series can do it.”

This statement seems apt as Samsung created a next level device, infusing a variety of new services offerings and some never before seen technologies.

Available in 5.8-inch Galaxy S8 and 6.2-inch Galaxy S8+, the Infinity Display and bezel-less design form a smooth, continuous surface with no buttons or harsh angles. The result is a truly immersive viewing experience without distractions and makes multi-tasking more convenient. The compact design of the S8 series enables comfortable one-handed operation and Corning Gorilla Glass 5 on both the front and back for durability and a high-quality finish.

In addition to the new design innovations, Samsung has included an advanced camera, enhanced performance and more to the devices. The devices are equipped with an advanced 8MP F1.7 Smart auto focus front camera and 12MP F1.7 Dual Pixel rear camera for the best low-light, zoom and anti-blur photos with enhanced image processing.
