Im Ausland surfen alle über eine SIM-Karte Viele Familien surfen im Urlaub nicht nur auf dem Wasser, sondern auch im Internet. Weit weg vom heimischen Mobilfunknetz brauchen Vater, Mutter und Kinder in Australien, Thailand oder Südafrika für all ihre mobilen Geräte einen Auslandstarif oder eine SIM-Karte aus dem Urlaubsland...

Samsung S-Klasse bietet High-End-Technik in einem schicken Design - das Galaxy S8 ist derzeit der beste Kompromiss aus Handlichkeit und Leistung. Obwohl das S9 vor der Tür steht, ist das Galaxy S8 ein Kauftipp: Für gut 500 Euro gibt es kaum ein besseres Smartphone.

      Ein Rundum-glücklich-Paket bietet weiterhin das Samsung Galaxy S8, das es jetzt auch als "Duos" mit Dual-SIM gibt. Es hat das beste Display, ein schickes, wasserdichtes Gehäuse und die Kamera macht in allen Lebenslagen eine gute Figur. Stören könnte man sich an den Display-Biegungen oder Samsungs eigenwilligem Android.

        Die beiden S8-Smartphones spielen in Sachen Design und Technik in der Champions-League, in Sachen Software leider nur in der Bezirksliga: Zwar hat uns die "Samsung-Experience"-Oberfläche insgesamt gut gefallen, der völlig unnötige und uninspirierte Bixby-"Assistent" nervt jedoch gewaltig, zumindest in der aktuellen Software-Version. Glücklicherweise muss man das Teil nicht benutzen...
