Samsung Galaxy S8

Seven months on from its previous supertest win, the impeccable Galaxy S8 is still our No1 smartphone. That it’s still top after seeing off the monumental iphone X and Pixel 2 XL is a testament to just how remarkable this Samsung is.

As an all-rounder the S8 just can’t be faulted, and it’s this comprehensive finesse that earns its elevated status against more affordable or future-thinking rivals. Apple’s new iphone is a particularly stern challenger, but it costs near-on double the price of Samsung’s alternative. Ultimately, that difference is too huge to ignore.

With an S8 in your pocket, you get a brilliant smartphone experience wrapped in one of the most stunning designs we’ve ever seen.
