Samsung officially introduced the Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus in late March 2017. This is the biggest Samsung launch for a while as the two products mark a new beginning for the company.
The S8 and S8 Plus smartphones feature massive screens of 5.8 inches and 6.2 inches respectively but their sizes are amazingly compact. This is because Samsung created an infinity display with almost no bezel. The display curves around 2 sides and expands to the top and bottom, the design helps fit a large screen in a smaller body.
In terms of specs, these are the most powerful smartphones on the market. Depending on the region, you will get the Exynos 8895 or Snapdragon 835 SoC, but either of them has top-notch performance. Some other notable features include a 12MP camera sensor with OIS, a 3,000 mAh or 3,5000 mAh battery, the new Bixby personal assistant, Bluetooth 5.0, an iris scanner, a rear fingerprint scanner, and IP68 rating for dust and water resistance. You can also pair the phone with the DeX dock to turn it into a desktop PC-like environment.
The S8 and S8 Plus start shipping in April and the full retail prices in the U.S. start at $750 and $850 respectively. The phones are available in 5 different colors, which are midnight black, orchid grey, arctic silver, coral blue, and maple gold.
In case you want to buy an unlocked phone on eBay or somewhere outside the U.S., you should consider carefully because they come in a wide variety of model numbers. The model numbers of the Galaxy S8 start with SM-G950 while those of S8 Plus start with SM-G955. Notably, Samsung skipped the G940 and G945 numbers because the number 4 is considered an unlucky number in many Asian countries.
So, we will have some Samsung Galaxy S8 models like SM-G950U, SM-G950W, SM-G9500, SM-G9508, SM-G950F, SM-G950 S/K/L, or SM-G950FD. Some Galaxy S8 Plus models are SM-G955U, SM-G955W, SM-G9550, SM-G9558, SM-G955F, SM-G955 S/K/L, or SM-G955FD. The models do not only differ in the processor (Qualcomm MSM8998 Snapdragon 835 vs Samsung Exynos 8895) but also in cellular bands (including GSM, UMTS, and LTE bands). Let’s check out all the options and their differences.
Update: All Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus phones in the U.S. now come under the same SM-G950U or SM-G955U model numbers but they are still locked to the carriers. More details of the U.S. variants can be found in the tables below.

Hi everyone. i`ll go to USA and iwant to buy a phone, a Samsung galaxy S8 g950u, please tell me if it will work in Europe. Thank you!
Tuan Do says
Yes, it will work in Europe as long as you buy the factory unlocked version.
If you buy from a carrier, you might need to insert a US SIM card to activate it first.

Hi, I purchased S8+ from Saudi Arabia (SM-G955FD), but when I tried for support from Samsung service centre in India they refused to provide any. They said that since the handset was purchased from the Saudi, it has to repaired in Saudi. S8+ model sold in India & Saudi is not same, hence no support can be provided. I was ready to pay for any additional charges. Why is it so?
On the other hand, Apple Iphone purchased from anywhere in the world provides service everywhere.
Please advise

Just some observations. The FCC Test Report for the SM-G950U lists the SM-G950U1 and SM-G950W models as “variants”, but implies that they have identical air interfaces (frequency bands) and radio services (GSM, UMTS, LTE, CDMA 1x). But the FCC HAC Key Feature Report lists a much smaller subset of which interfaces and services each model supports. I wonder if one document is reporting what the hardware supports and the other what the firmware allows.
In addition, the FCC Test Report for the SM-G950F notes that the SM-G950X is a “variant”, also implying that it has identical interfaces and services.
It is all very confusing since no two sites or reports agree as to which bands each model supports. Everyone is off by just a little, including from the list provided by Techwalls.

I live in the Uk and am looking to buy the Samsung Galaxy S8. The best price I can find in the UK is for the model G950FD. In your table you state under country that this is Asia. Does that mean it was made in Asia or that it is made for the Asia Market?
Will this phone work in the UK as well as one with the product code SM-G950FZKABTU which is the code that I would get if I bought directly from Samsung or the Carphone Warehouse?
I have a Tesco mobile sim which uses the o2 network
Thanks
