The Samsung Galaxy S8 is a good-looking phone, but it has some weak points, from the camera and battery with no obvious boost to Bixby that is still in infancy.

The Samsung Galaxy S8 is finally out. The new phone in elegant metal and glass is simply gorgeous with the home button both gone. It has a large 5.8-inch display, curved screen, improved interface, and faster innards. Samsung also made it very clear that its latest flagship devices will not catch fire.

The Samsung Galaxy S8, however, has some weak points. Here's a roundup of some weak-points of the Galaxy S8:

Fingerprint reader

CNET claims that the fingerprint reader of the Galaxy S8 out-of-place. It is now located on the back of the phone, next to the camera. CNET writer Jessica Dolcourt wrote, "I fear you'll smudge the lens when you're just trying to unlock the phone -- that happened in a few tests with a prefinal unit."

TechRadar analyst Gareth Beavis added that its position is too high so he is more inclined to use the facial recognition or the iris scanner to open the phone.

Face unlock

While competitors like Apple, LG and Huawei are embracing twin rear camera lenses for security purposes, Samsung is sticking with its 12-megapixel shooter for convenience. But it is not very impressive, CNET stated.

Bixby

What Samsung's digital assistant can do is very limited so far compared to its competitors' Siri from Apple, Google Assistant, and Alexa from Amazon. Moreover, TechRadar noted that it's not even in all the default Samsung apps. It's only available for the camera and phone systems at the moment. The feature is also limited to US and Korea for now.

Camera

According to TechRadar, the camera has not really been given much of an upgrade compared to the Galaxy S7.

Battery

The battery has the same fate with the camera. TechRadar noted that there's only a 300Ah battery in the Samsung Galaxy S8, which may not be sufficient to power a pixelated phone.
