SUPERTEST SUPERPHONES

Those tiny bezels on the
front have forced the
fingerprint sensor to the
back. It sits right next to
the camera, so take care
not to leave fingerprint
smudges on the lens.

Robo swap


Upgrading from a
different Android?
Samsung switches
the ‘back’ and
‘recents’ keys, but
you can swap ’em
back on the S8.
Find the option in
Display Settings.


Kind of blue
Turn on the blue
light filter and you
won’t lose out on
sleep after a late-
night Candy Crush
session. It can turn
on automatically
when the sun sets,
saving time.

Netflix
(£free to download,
£8.99/month)
With an HDR-ready
phone, you really
want some HDR
video. Right now
there’s not much
to choose from,
but Netflix will be
among the first
to supply films
and TV shows
once it flips the
big ‘HDR video
for mobile’ switch
later this year.

Drawer blank
There’s no icon
to open the app
drawer – just
swipe up or down
anywhere on the
homescreen. You
can ditch the app
drawer altogether
if you like.

Trier happy
Single-handed
selfies are easy
enough: just tap
the heart-rate
sensor on the
back of the phone
to take a snap
without stretching
your digits.
