Somewhat surprisingly the smaller member of the flagship duo outdid its sibling in terms of loudness. Even the increase in stereo crosstalk with headphones was barely noticeable and exceeding our expectations. The Samsung Galaxy S8 matched its Plus sibling for clarity, delivering perfectly accurate output both with an active external amplifier and headphones. It touches up the contrast curve and color rendering to make the image pop.
We tried VLC, MX Player and BS Player and they were all recognized correctly. You can download third-party video players and they can tap into the system-wide Video Enhancer feature as well. A pop-up view is also supported, which you can resize with a pinch gesture - don't look for resizing handles. With the odd display ratio that matches no standard video ratio, you're given the option to view videos in their original proportions (most often 16:9 videos with black bars on the sides, or in the 21:9 movie aspect - black bars top and bottom), stretch them to fill the display (resulting in disfigured 16:9 videos most of the time, but equally so with 21:9), or crop an 18.5:9 portion (again filling the display, losing some of frame, but keeping the original proportions). The app lets you play only the audio track of the video. It has full subtitle support with advanced features to modify their appearance. Even if you don't the Gallery app is up to the task. Like with the music player, you can grab the traditional Samsung one from the Galaxy Essentials collection in Galaxy Apps (the Video Editor is there too). There is no video player app pre-installed so the Gallery handles the videos by default. There are also features such as Surround sound emulation and Tube Amp Pro simulator. UHQ sound resolution enhancer is available as well for upscaling compressed audio.
Smart Volume automatically adjusts the volume of tracks from multiple sources. It tunes the EQ to your hearing and your particular pair of ears and headphones by playing multiple frequencies and asking how well you hear them. Presets and two simple dials are available for basic users, a manual 9-band equalizer for more advanced users.Īdapt Sound is even simpler. They include the SoundAlive tool, which has an intuitive interface for tuning the equalizer. It can play your local files, as well as stream music from the cloud and it's backed by Samsung's extensive sound enhancements. Google Play Music is the default player for your tunes on the Galaxy S8.
