5 Reasons the Galaxy S8+ is Better Than the Galaxy S8

Better Battery Life

Personally one of the single most important aspects of any smartphone specifications is the battery life. It's a stat that many overlook (we're looking at you HTC U Ultra) and Samsung is getting better and better here. 

The Galaxy S8 has that big 5.8-inch screen but the same 3,000 mAh battery as the 5.1-inch Galaxy S7 from 2016. Or like the HTC 10. Meaning battery life should still be decent, but not amazing or even great. 

And while the same can be said for the Galaxy S8+ and its 3,500 mAh battery, that increase will make a big difference in daily use. Whether you're a power-user or just want to enjoy your phone to the fullest, the Galaxy S8+ is the phone for you. The 3,500 mAh battery with fast and wireless charging will really help. Getting a bigger screen and the extra 500 mAh of battery life is important. 

Samsung has a new efficient AMOLED panel inside these phones, optimized the software, and it's running Android 7.0 Nougat with tons of power-saving features. Which is why the company is confident these battery sizes will be more than enough to last a full 8-hour work day and beyond. Either way, you'll want the biggest battery possible, which is only available in the Galaxy S8+.
