Why are you even posting here? You had your mind made up years ago that you will only purchase Apple and are just baiting people with these nonsense posts. Glad to hear your done here.

Is there the equivalent of Live Photos on the new Samsung Galaxy S8?

...Take a 4 or 5 second video...if it's about "capturing the moment" in its fullness live photo is a poor substitute compared full HD video.
Also video is more easily shared.
That is fact. But he needed a reason to troll and justify his iPhone purchase. You could tell he was trolling by his 4th post.
Yeah it was pretty much a troll post seeking flamebait, he has a few others with similar titles on this forum subsection.
This post was made to figure out if Samsung is any good for me and apparently it's no because there's some features lacking such as Live Photos that are missing.
Anyone who thinks motion photos, no audio and all, is a substitute is only kidding themselves at this point.

Nobody wants to watch videos of your sports games if you upload it on fb etc.
People want pictures, ideally with audio and an idea of the surrounding environment at the time.
Live Photos is the bridge between a picture and a video. It's like a picture that's come to life.
I'm glad you were able to find your answer. Enjoy your iPhone. We should be hearing about iOS 11 next month, so there's that to look forward to.
Ok, take the laptop. Was the screen on a computer the first ever screen? No there were TV's/monitors. Was the keyboard the first ever keyboard. No the typewriter and other wired keyboards precede it. Processor? Nope. Speakers. Nawww.. if you want me to continue and draw some diagrams then maybe I will. Mankind progresses through evolution. Evolution is the passing of the great of a generation and leaving behind the unuseful. Get it
And of course there was a "first" but that "first" was preceded by other trial and errors and improvements on old tech. By yours and the narratives logic we should focus on the fact we used bone tools and that any subsequent iterations were meaningless. Good mindset for you and your friends but an idiotic one at best.
Opinions, opinions. Clearly the OP likes force touch and Live Photos. I got curios about LP myself as I rarely take photos nowadays. There is something interesting about apples implementation. Force touch let's you control the scene when you want it, easily. Nokia implementation was ok but it seems like Apple uses some effect on LP. You're trying to justify your purchase by insulting his opinion. Bravo!
I used Spotify and have loved Apple Music more. It's seamless and integrates with my old music. Apple maps has had rough a rough start and after the initial release it has become a great alternative. So much so that I've gotten errors on GMaps that I don't On AMaps. Also, I don't get weird ads on AMaps and I much prefer the UI on AMaps. Cleaner navigation and less bloat in the way. So clearly you never used them or they don't work for you. Fine either way, but why bring these up when a guy makes a legitimate claim about Androids limitations?
Siri - I've had my issue with all of the assistants I've used. Samsungs being the least useful and problematic. The thing about Googles version is that it clearly does do more web searching as opposed to humanizing the experience. I'm not a robot and have gotten Siri to be more consistent the few times ove used her (not to mention the tight integration on the iPhone) so I stuck with her.

You obviously have not used Google's latest, Assistant, or have not used it much. It is more personable than Siri--and I do have and use the latest versions of both (and use at least one multiple times a day). Without a doubt, Siri is the one who will reach for a web search first.
Even with the "fun" things that once made Siri seem more human, such as "tell me a joke," Google's Assistant is now much more personable--where it once had no personality at all. Heck, you can ask it to play a game and it will create a trivia game for one or more people, all using back and forth voice exchange and recognition.

Just got these results.
The "new music" search was me saying resume music. I'm impressed it got better but not there yet. When it did understand me it did resume the song playing.

Pretty dumb choice to send LP considering 5/6 of all the world's phone users can't see/use it.
So now they have more than one voice app like they have more than one messeging app? Oh Goog.
No, they just have Google Assistant now. How did you access those questions? Long press the home button? And recently?
Worth noting live photos don't always work when shared even among other iPhones. Video doesn't have this problem. And motion photo is video so it always works
Like the rest of android, cheap geeky half-assed knockoff. No wonder theres virtually no competition for apple

You're just not picky enough.
And most of the 5/6 can't agree on any one standard on anything. At least the 1/6 has a solid supported standard in all flagships going forward.
Seems about an equivalent of a statement to what side of he road do you drive on and do you care you're opposite to a lot of the world?
I used bixby photo for the first time yesterday.you know when u go to a store and find something you like and go online and try to find it cheaper?
Omg I used bixby photo without even trying to do it.i took a picture and it said do you want to buy this and wham found it on Amazon prime and I did a 1 click buy.
I had a moment there when I was like wtf just happened and it still feels weird and to easy and I had to double check I got it and the right item.

I don't have any issues sharing Live Photos with who is interested in seeing them regardless of the market share of the devices as the op was trying to frame.
Wow what a thread... laughing my ass off every time @Michael Goff said jank. I like live photos ... I've got a photo of my wife smiling at me as my wallpaper and I can press/hold at the lock screen to get the live photo effect. Kinda nice when on a long overseas trip.
That said, I find them a bit of a liability if I send them via iMessage because my wife and I may be talking while talking photos or ... I had one where I burped while taking a photo - that was very audible since the phone was near my face. So I have to be careful.
Right now iCloud Photos and Google Photos are the only 2 apps that actually save the live photo portion, right?
I don't use them often but I like them (live photos).

The issue the person was bringing up wasn't device market share but the fact that to most people it's just a picture since they can't see it. That's good for people who only surround themselves with iPhone users, though.

:Confused:
I do t know what you mean "surround themselves..." sounds pejorative. I don't surround myself with any phone user. It just so happens with a few exceptions, my extended family about 50, friends, business associates and clients all have iPhones.
