Galaxy S8 Terrible Signal

I have a Galaxy S8 and the reception it receives is absolutely dreadful. Especially comparef to my old iphone 6. Has anybody else noticed this and knows how to fix it?

There is nothing you can do to fix it.
If it's faulty you will have to get it fixed.
We recommend talking to Samsung directly http://www.samsung.com/uk/support/
Do you actually suffer from dropped calls etc or is the signal bar just low?
All phones show differently and doesn't necessarily mean a fault.

@Anonymous I have a Galaxy S8+ and have not noticed any reception problems. Definitely look at the links provided by @MI5 and @Cleoriff which will prove helpful.

Apple always increase their signal meter to make it look better than it actually might be, so if comparing signal level directly to an iPhone, I would expect the Samsung to show lower anyway.
