Design and Build
The Samsung Galaxy S8+ sports a sleek, modern design featuring a glass front and back, both protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 5, paired with an aluminum frame. Its dimensions of 159.5 x 73.4 x 8.1 mm make it one of the wider phones, suitable for users accustomed to larger screens. Despite its bulk, the phone is relatively lightweight at 173 grams, making it easier to handle than it might appear. The water and dust resistance, rated at IP68, means that you can accidentally drop this phone in water for up to 30 minutes at a depth of 1.5 meters without worry.
