Portability Perhaps one of the easiest reasons mobile games are so popular is because theyre easily accessible. Practically everyone has a smartphone nowadays, so anyone from your grandma to your little cousin can download a game on his or her iPhone and start gaming right away.

There's a long list of things that Samsung gets right in the S8: there's a pair of great camera, the battery life is good, there's waterproofing, the latest hardware and the slickest Android skin, fully-featured and pack full of useful functions. The contentious point falls on the fingerprint scanner, as the location isn't optimal, but it's not a deal breaker.
