Consumer Reports Ranks Samsung Galaxy S8 Above iPhone 7 [Video]

Consumer Reports has named the Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+ as its top rated smartphones, besting the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus and Samsung's previous generation S7 models.

The phones occupying the loftiest spots in the Consumer Reports smartphone ratings all excel at nearly everything, but there's always one top dog, and at the moment it's the Samsung Galaxy S8+, followed closely by its slightly smaller sibling, the Galaxy S8.

If you want a stunning camera, long battery life, and gorgeous display in a water-resistant package, one of these could be the right phone for you. You just have to be willing to spend the rent money on it: The S8+ starts at about $840, and the S8 at around $720.
