The age-old battle between iPhone or Android is getting closer and closer, especially now that Samsung have officially released their highly anticipated Galaxy S8.

Touted as "the biggest rival to Apple's line of iPhones", we've tracked down the very best deals from all the major networks on the new blower, including EE , O2, Three , Vodafone, Virgin Media, idmobile, Mobiles Direct and Carphone Warehouse.

At the moment, it seems like the cheapest tariffs can be found on Three and iD mobile, who are both offering the new S8 for just over £35 a month.

However, Carphone Warehouse run a trade-in scheme, which means that if you already own an S6 device, you can get the brand new S8 for £33 a month, with no upfront cost, when you trade in your old S6 with a guaranteed value of £150.

If you want just the handset, giffgaff is definitely your cheapest bet, having slashed the price of their standalone S8 handsets by £50 this week, now £639.

While Apple appear to be stripping down and refining their phones, Samsung are going in the opposite direction, throwing as many features as possible into their latest offering.

The new S8 features an almost completely full screen display, with curved edges on both sides of the handset.

To make space for the huge front screen, the home button has been booted off (the next natural phase of phone modernisation) and the fingerprint scanner also now sits at the back.

The latest addition to the Samsung Galaxy range has also upgraded its battery life, camera, memory and gaming capability improvements, and comes in two different sizes: the standard Samsung Galaxy S8 and the Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus, which measure in at 5.8 and 6.2 inches, respectively.

    Why do Android fanboys hate admitting that Samsung copied Apple?

    It's impossible to cover the mobile market without diving into the good ol' "iOS vs. Android" debate from time to time. These are the two biggest mobile platforms on the planet, so they're constantly being compared. Likewise, Samsung and Apple are the world's top two smartphone vendors, so their phones are constantly pitted against each other as well. Of course, there's another reason Apple and Samsung are often mentioned in the same breath: after entering the market, Samsung quickly grew to become the top mobile device maker on the planet thanks in large part to Apple. First, Samsung did everything it possibly could to copy Apple's iPhone and iPad. Then, it spent billions upon billions of dollars belittling Apple products in TV, online, and print advertising.
