You like the Galaxy S8 and S8+, but what if we told you that there's a special
edition Galaxy S8 out there that has no less than three assistants built-in,
all eagerly anticipating your commands? This isn't a dream, it's reality. It's
called Galaxy S8 Microsoft Edition, and you can pre-order one from Microsoft's
brick-and-mortar stores in the US. The S8 is priced at US$ 749.99, while the S8+
goes for US$ 849.99. They will both become available on April 21.
All Galaxy S8 units, regardless of where you buy
yours from, ship with some Microsoft apps bundled: OneDrive, Skype, and Office.
However, the Microsoft Edition handsets take the bloatware game to a whole new
level, adding Cortana and Outlook on top of those.
The specs are identical to the other S8 and S8+
models, you just get the benefit of that added bloatware on top of the not
insignificant number of preloads that every Samsung phone has. So if you can't
imagine a mobile device shipping with less than three email clients, then these Microsoft Edition phones are clearly for you.
