Which display settings do you use on your s8/s8+?

[Garz]

The s8/s8+ ships with FHD+ settings as default. Not the WQHD+. In my eyes the WQHD+ setting is what makes the screen so gorgeous. I've tried both setting and I don't see much of a difference in battery life. Which setting do you use?

WQHD and my battery still lasts me all day.

I have been flipping back and fourth between the 2 and I don't notice much difference in battery life or display quality. I tend to be around chargers most of the time so the potential battery drain doesn't matter much to me .

I noticed quite a bit in display difference. Especially with text being much sharper.

Unless i'm about to binge watch youtube videos or watch anything longer than 5 mins i'm on 1080p since i think my swiftkey looks weird on wqhd i don't do it for battery life as most people reported there's not a huge difference i do it mostly because most of what i watch is 1080p or less lol(+ i didn't notice a huge difference in quality)

I don't notice much of a difference. I just changed it myself and I don't see anything? What am I missing lol

To me it makes everything look more crisp.

Yeah I didn't notice much of a difference. I'll mess with it more later on either way this phone is amazing! So loving it!

Ive been keeping my phone in WQHD mode because of gear VR, no noticeable battery hit with average use.

I think we've had a couple of these threads, but I'll bite. WQHD+ all the way. The screen was part of the reason I bailed on my attempt to use an iPhone for daily use. No way am I going to a lesser resolution. A bit less battery life, to be sure. But that's less important to me than the way the screen pops.

I agree. I seem to get 5-10% less battery. But the resolution is so worth it. I can't use anything less than the best. This resolution just pops.

This is me on most days.
