Galaxy S8 is quickly approaching its 2nd birthday, and in the smartphone world, that's equivelant to a lifetime. It's still got a great display, reliable cameras, and a good processor, but compared to the S10, it's outdone in just about every single category.
Here's a quick comparison of some of the top spec upgrades to give you a better idea of what we're talking about:
| Category | Galaxy S8 | Galaxy S10 |
|---|---|---|
| Display | 5.8-inch AMOLED 2960x1440 (18.5:9) | 6.1-inch AMOLED 3040x1440 (19:9) |
| Processor | Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 | Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 |
| RAM | 4GB | 8GB |
| Front Camera | 8MP, f/1.7 Auto focus | 10MP Dual Pixel, f/1.9 Auto focus |
| Battery | 3000mAh | 3400mAh |
| Security | One-touch fingerprint sensor Iris scanner | In-screen fingerprint sensor |
Perhaps even more important for a lot of people, the Galaxy S10 comes equipped with a total of three rear cameras whereas the Galaxy S8 has just one 12MP sensor.
On the S10, your camera package includes the following:
Another big change has to do with the display. In addition to being larger size-wise, the bezels have also shrunk quite a bit thanks to Samsung's adoption of a hole-punch screen. This means that the front-facing camera now sits in the display itself, allowing for smaller bezels compared to the S8. It's a unique look that may take some time to get used to, but we think it's a great trade-off.
