Back in April, Microsoft started selling the Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus “Microsoft Edition” at its retail stores across the US. What makes the devices different is that when you connect them to a Wi-Fi network, a Microsoft customization is applied that brings the company’s apps such as OneDrive, Cortana, and Outlook to the flagships.
