Does anyone know if this has the same aspect ratio of the GS8 and GS8+ meaning you'll get black bars on the sides when watching videos or playing games?

Had the same problem with Clash Royale and Soul Hunters. Neither are graphic intensive games but both drop frames on the S8+. This is very noticeable when playing a game like Clash Royale PVP in real time. Also, I've yet to find a game on the S8+ that utilizes the full screen..

2 things: 1. That's a terrible analogy. 2. If you go any car forum they argue over which car is a tenth of a second faster. That's kind of the point of forums like this.

If you pay for TV service almost all providers let you stream live TV to your phone. That's been the case for awhile now..

Most likely returning mine. S8+ is the probably the smoothest android phone I've used but it's a shame my 2 year old iPhone 6S Plus is smoother. Clash Royale on the S8+ drops a tremendous amount of frames. There's also a noticeable lag in scrolling compared to iOS. I was going to keep the S8+ or...

I read there's a bug that can keep the battery stats from resetting between charges. This probably accounts for the folks posting 8-10 hours of SOT. Or, they're leaving the phone on with a black static background and letting the battery drain very slowly..

Good to hear. That's the one I bought also. Will install it later today.

Wait, I thought they blocked the remap ability?

I'm coming from an iPhone 6S Plus. I'm sure there's a way to transfer my stuff but I'll set up as a clean install..

There's only 2 things that could make me return the device and I don't think either will be an issue: 1. Cell reception where I work. I have Verizon and my iPhone 6S Plus gets good reception here. If for whatever reason the S8 doesn't that would be a deal breaker. 2. Camera - specifically...

Cool. Thanks for posting.

I'm concerned about the image stabilization while recording. I make a lot of videos and from what I've seen the S8 has some jitter, or frame stutter, when panning a wide area. My iPhone 6S Plus is perfectly smooth. No doubt the S8 will take better still pictures than my current iPhone but I...
