Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus are two of Samsung’s most popular phones. They come with upgraded specifications and a completely new design language. Alongside hardware changes, the Galaxy S8 comes with a brand new TouchWiz firmware, which Samsung now prefers to call Samsung Experience.
It is a brand new TouchWiz UX, where Samsung has managed to make it lighter and faster to deliver a snappy and quick performance. Both the Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus come Bixby, the new intelligent assistant, updated Always On Display, live wallpapers, new launcher, weather widget and much more.
