Who's Returning there S8-S8+

[illdini]

I say it's the battery. The screen size difference between the 8 and 8+ is smaller than the battery size difference, which means with all other things being equal, the 8+ will last longer.

I'm not returning it, but will exchange it. It has the pinkish hue around the edges. In addition, the whites screens have a "cloudy" look to them.

Cell reception may get you, my iPhone gets better reception then the note 7 i had and i expect the S8 will be the same.

Odd. iPhones are awful at my work yet my Android phones have been great.

I'm thinking about returning it. While it's a nice phone, for my purposes, it's not a huge improvement over the S6. And, the fingerprint thing is already driving me nuts. Not only is it in a horrible position, but it's not very accurate. Major fail.

Amazing... Had the S6E, the S7E, the iPhone 6+, and even the LG V10 and the 8S Plus is by far the fastest and most accurate FPS I've used. I don't love the placement but the iris scanner is so great that it rarely matters. Only thing I miss about my S7E is being able to unlock it while it's flat on the desk.

I'm on the edge about returning it........









I might get the S8+..... I'm not sure yet....

At first I thought the same thing just because I believe it's a keeper and if it is I might as well upgrade to the bigger one. But now, I'm pretty content on what I chose. I've said it over and over...I plan on using the $100 I saved towards the Note 8.

No way. I am loving my s8+ a lot, except for the reddish screen although I'm not sure if it's my eyes playing games and psychologically believing it because of reading so many people talk about it

 

[Ziich47]

I am enjoying the s8 I have so far. I don't love the fps. Because of the position I don't always get my finger on it just right which results in an incorrect scan. I hope this will improve once I get used to it

Yeah, i'm with you. I believe my S6 Edge + was the greatest phone Sammy ever made, and i skipped the S7 due to that. But after the Note 7 problems and seeing how they devoted their entire company to the design of S8 Plus i had some pretty high expectations of it and got mine Wednesday. While it is a beautiful device to be sure, it didn't really give me that "wow factor" over my beautiful (& still pristine) that my S6 Edge+ does, and the new touchwiz (to me) was a real downer, wayyyyy to Google-ly & Apple-esque for my liking. The RIDICULOUS 2 tier clock (hour on top, minutes under it) on the lock screen drove me bonkers in just the day & 1/2 i owned it....

Great device that i am SURE will not disaapoint too many, but for me, since i purchase device outright, the 900+ price tag including tax just seemed like throwing away money. With my 4GB Ram S6 Edge+, i didn't notice ANY speed difference whatsoever, and battery seemed same, so i decided to just mosey off into the sunset with her & my beautiful Frontier LTE watch : )

Android, or samsung android. i ask because when i had the Note 7 i also noted that the cell reception was poor (compared to my 6+) and folks on here responded that it was a known samsung issue.

That being said so far with my S8 plus so far i have a very consistent 3 bars at my work.

 

[shawnOST]

S8+ is amazing and a nice upgrade from my Note 5. It's a keeper.

The WiFi on my S8+ is better than my Pixel XL and my friends crapple 7 phone.

I have gigabit Internet at home:

S8+ 500/500
Pixel XL 300/300
crapple 250/250

This is about 20 feet away from my ASUS AC88 router.

Samsung, Google, LG, etc.

Also don't look at bars. Bars mean nothing when comparing it from phone to phone since each phone has different ways of displaying signal. You could have the same signal but one phone shows 4/5 bars and the other shows 2/5.

Always check the -dBm signal within the settings for the true phone signal.

No big difference here, on 300 up and down with FiOS:

S8+ -- 323/330
7+ -- 328/322

I've never once used the fingerprint scanner on any phone that had the capability. I find it to be a waste of time. As far as the height of the phone goes. The screen is 6.2", what are you expecting?

Double tap the home button and you can use a pattern.

I might be but only to exchange it for another S8+....one that hopefully doesn't have a red tint.

 

[Blues Fan]

No red tint on mine! I will say this seems smoother than the Note 7 I owned. Not as much lag! Overall a lot easier typing on it than the S7 edge I had.

I will say if I still had the Note 7 I wouldn't have bought the S8 Plus because the S8 isn't much difference except the newer processor and the Note has the Spen and I would have just waited for the Note 8. Note 7 and S8 Plus are equals IMO. S8 has a couple newer features but the Note 7 makes up with the Spen to even it out.

Funny how everybody wants to come in here and trash the OP for posting this . . If you're happy and not returning yours then this post isn't for you and you can move along without comment . . .
