1-Floating camera button
The camera settings menu reveals a floating shutter button you can move anywhere on the screen. Tap it to take a picture.
2-Zoom in, zoom out
Slide the built-in, onscreen shutter button up or down to zoom in and out.
If you prefer the Back button on the right, and Recent apps on the left, you can swap the default order.

Pick your favorite color for a navigation bar that stands out.

Samsung's had this for a long time, but it looks different now. Turn it on and you can shrink the screen at any time (it doesn't have to shrink right away).
You can either swipe diagonally or press the home button three times to shrink the screen. The settings gear you see makes it easy to switch back.
I can't get over the irony. We've spent so much time getting away from tiny screens, yet we sometimes want to go back. Also, everything in this mode looks adorable.
Look closely and you can see a thin blue line around the screen edge. Some notifications trigger this subtle display, but look fast!
I love swiping up on the home screen to get to apps. But if you prefer an app button, you can have that instead.
The Galaxy S7 had a standalone gaming mode and battery optimizer, but this setting is new to the Galaxy S8.
In theory, you can see even more on the Always-On display, but we haven't been able to make it work... yet.
