Samsung users in the country can be assured that the new Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+ will redefine their smartphone experience.
Launched last night in Port Moresby, the latest step in the evolution of the Samsung line promises to live up to the hype and anticipation of the brand.
With seamless hardware design and a variety of new service offerings, both phones offer functionality and convenience.
“The Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+ usher in a new era of smartphone design and fantastic new services, opening up new ways to experience the world,” said DJ Koh, President of Mobile Communications Business, Samsung Electronics.
Todd Selwyn, Head of Mobile Portfolio for Samsung Electronics New Zealand and Pacific Islands, outlined that the Galaxy S8 and S8+ was a testament to regaining customer trust by redefining what’s possible in safety while marking a new milestone in Samsung’s smartphone legacy.
“We are always trying to bring to market the best innovations that help people get the most out of their smartphone experience. The screen is what you interact most with on your device, and the Galaxy S8 and S8+’s Infinity Display takes the smartphone screen to the next level,” Selwyn said.
The result is the most immersive screen on a mobile device of this size – something achieved without needing to increase the devices' footprint and adding more value to the over-all virtual aspect of the device.
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. This compact design enables comfortable one-handed operation and Corning® Gorilla® Glass 5 on both the front and back for both durability and a high-quality finish.
