Whether you’re coming to the S8 from a previous Android or iOS smartphone, there’s a good chance that you’ll have a trusty batch of apps and games that you’ll immediately lunge to download.
Given the power of the S8 and generous screen real estate of its 18:9 display, certain apps just really stand out on Samsung’s latest. Here are a few essentials to add to your list.
Minimalist Wallpapers
This one more or less speaks for itself. You’re going to want to freshen up the home and lockscreen pretty often just to see as much pixel-packed artwork as you can on the S8.
Minimalist Wallpapers provides a seemingly never-ending fount of wallpapers and better yet, it’s free. Whether you’re into nature shots, cityscapes or abstract imagery, this app has you covered.

Rayman Fiesta Run
The S8’s screen is a Super AMOLED HDR-ready display running at 2K resolution. In other words, the right content can really make it sing. Rayman Fiesta Run is the perfect example of this.
On top of its gorgeous hand-drawn graphics, this game is an addicting endless runner that will have you jumping and punching your way to victory. If you liked Super Mario Run, this will be your jam, simply put.

Google Daydream
Soon, Samsung Galaxy S8 owners will have access to not one, but two of the leading mobile VR headsets available: the Samsung Gear VR and Google Daydream.
It’s totally cool if you want to opt for Samsung’s own headset, though there are some experiences and games that you can only try out on Google Daydream View, Google’s headset. Look for official support to drop any day now. And once it does, you can download the app at the link below.

Framed
Another interesting and fun game to try out on the S8’s huge, vibrant screen is Framed. In this detective noir game, you have to assemble the comic strips so that your character can fluidly flow through the level.
It’s a premise that’s tough to describe, though it’s utterly simple and intuitive once you start playing. Like Rayman, the frames in Framed are each animated and drawn by hand and as a result, look stunning.
