Premium Style, Practical Features
Three hassle-free ways to unlock your phone
Open with your eyes
Hold up your Galaxy S8 or S8+ and align your eyes with the twin circles on-screen to scan your irises. Your phone is unlocked with a look.
Open with your face
Raise your phone as if taking a selfie to use face recognition. It's a fast and effortless way to unlock your Galaxy S8 or S8+.
*Face recognition is less secure than pattern, PIN, or password.
Open with a touch
As you hold your Galaxy S8 or S8+, your finger goes naturally to the fingerprint scanner on the back to unlock your device in one seamless move. You don't even have to wake up the phone first.
A camera built for every moment
Selfies done right
Turn on the front camera and take a selfie that everyone will want to share. Smart Auto Focus tracks faces, so whether you use your arm or a selfie stick, everyone in the shot will be in focus. And enhanced multi-frame image processing keeps all the selfies crisp and clear.
