Sprint’s Network Gets Even Better
Samsung GS8 and GS8+ are both HPUE-enabled (High Performance User Equipment) smartphones. HPUE makes the Sprint network experience even better with increased coverage, more capacity and faster speeds on capable devices. HPUE-enabled smartphones are designed to give customers a better overall experience with streaming videos, mobile gaming and other online apps and services. HPUE can extend Sprint’s 2.5GHz coverage by up to 30 percent to nearly match its midband 1.9GHz spectrum performance, including indoors where the majority of wireless traffic is generated.

HPUE-enabled smartphones, including Samsung Galaxy S8 and
Samsung Galaxy S8+, are designed to give customers a better overall experience with streaming videos, mobile gaming and other online apps and services.

With an average of 204MHz of spectrum and more than 160MHz of 2.5GHz spectrum in the top 100 U.S. markets, Sprint has more spectrum than any other carrier across the nation, allowing Sprint to keep adding the capacity and speed needed to serve customers’ increasing demand for unlimited data.

Infinity Screen, Smart Camera
Samsung’s new flagship smartphones come packed with must-have features including a stunning infinity screen with near bezel-less design providing a large screen in the least amount of space. They are the first HDR-certified smartphones, providing superior color, contrast and brightness which means you can watch shows and films the way they were meant to be seen. The big screen allows users to easily open multiple windows and truly multitask.

GS8 and GS8+ also feature Bixby, an intelligent interface that enables users to navigate through services and apps easily. Featuring an advanced autofocus front and rear camera, GS8 and GS8+ produce clearer, more detailed selfies and the ability to take great photos even in low light.

Additional features of GS8 and GS8+ include offline-to-online shopping, integrated QR code reader, text translator, IP68-water resistant, 10NM processor, 64GB internal memory, and micro SD card support.
