In your latest edition, we probe the Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+, a 360-degree live-streaming camera, and an automatic guitar tuner. As always, these are not reviews, in part because I wasn't flown out for the S8 launch event to test the phones with my own hands. Ahem. The ratings relate only to how much I'd like to try each item.
