Samsung Galaxy S8 looks set to be the smartphone to beat in 2017.

By the time the phone launches in April, it will have been a full two years since Samsung's flagship phone underwent a substantial facelift – with the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge being more of a subtle refinement of the design debuted with the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge.
