The Samsung Galaxy S8 is one of those phones that just has to do well – it's up against some massively impressive competition in 2017 – and the good news is that this is, indeed, a very strong phone.

The amount of S8 leaks we've seen are staggering, both in their volume and accuracy, but they don't tell the whole story about a phone that's certain to be at the top (or very near the summit) of most 'best phone' lists this year.

The Infinity Display is the headline feature of this handset – while it's not all screen, it's as close as can be. 

Samsung has also been very clever in the way it's got around the loss of the front-facing home screen button, managing to make the handset usable without requiring the mechanical key on the front of the Galaxy S8.

That doesn't mean it's a perfect phone though. The lack of significant camera upgrades and the user interface will irk some, although they shouldn't detract from what is a hugely impressive effort from Samsung.
