How To Bypass Screen Lock On Galaxy S8

The #Samsung #Galaxy #S8 is a former flagship model released last year that not only performs very well but is also a secure phone. At the heart of this device is either a Snapdragon 835 or Exynos 8895 processor ( market dependent)  combined with 4GB of RAM. This allows the phone to run several apps at the same time without any noticeable lags.

Consumers who own this phone are using this not only for their personal activities but for business as well. It’s no surprise that this device stores a lot of user information from social media accounts, emails, banking details, and much more. In case the phone gets lost then there’s a possibility that the data can be accessed by anyone. To prevent this from happening it is best to first setup the screen lock of the phone since this is the best line of defense to protect your phone data.

Follow the steps listed below to setup the screen lock of the S8.
