With the Galaxy S8 and S8+, Samsung has once again reworked its take on Android. This time around we're not dealing with any major functional shake-ups, but rather with something of a visual rethinking of TouchWiz. Now dubbed the Samsung Experience, the refreshed OS comes with an added layer of polish that ensures an overall better user experience. It's not without its flaws, but it is definitely a step in the right direction.
