Samsung s8 & + model hands on experience

[Darth Vader]

So for my s8+ yesterday

And its 50 50 not that good not that bad either
1st screen looks amazing but there is a problem
It will act as ultra wide on most apps which is not that great

Unless you wanna change the aspect ratio where it will crop to fit screen
Security
Any one with your pic can unlock your device in face mode
Iris scanner is way slower and problematic than note 7s iris scanner
And don't even talk about finger print scanner because of its position
Specs
Camera is same as s7 edge
Ram is also same
Storage upgrade
So is it worth upgrading ....i will give it a pass

Rubbish

Rubbish

I won't call it rubbish as but if you have s7 already not worth the upgrade
But if you have older like note 5 or s6 or simolar Phones like i7 bauhahah its worth upgrading

I have also preordered it and hope to receive it today. The delivery is expected between 15:58 to 16:58 London time.

I think I have used every device from Samsung Flagship Galaxy S series and iPhone series but this is probably the first phone which I had pre-ordered. I think Galaxy S8 is more friendly to my hands but I still decided to go for S8 Plus instead.

Have tested both devices in the store and I think its gonnai be awesome in my hands

PS: Also got 256GB Samsung SD Card which I received yesterday so almost 300GB of data storage, although frankly speaking I didn't need more than 64GB but it will be helpful to transfer data from my laptop if I need to sell it in future

For me note 7 was the truly new and proper device from samsung in a while
Yup most people do buy extra cards but in countries with unlimited data plan and high speed its better to stick with cloud rather than micro ad
It's much secure and easy to access

SD card is for the sake of data transfer actually. I have got similar sized USB which I use from time to time but sometimes you need another one for other stuff you know. Sometimes I have to burn linux operation system into my USB so its always handy to transfer all the files in my sd card if I am unable to find my old USB with much smaller capacity.

Yes DPD usually gives 1 hour delivery window but this one is coming from UK Mail (part of DHL)

TBH i didnt upgrade my phone after note 5 and dont plan on doing either since note 5 is more than enough for anything

Camera is much better thats one point or unless you download a custom Rom it will be stuck go lollypop

Day 2 of S8+ for me and I am thinking of exchanging for S8 instead as it's longer than my mate 8.

This phone is all about the display. Rest is already mentioned above.

After the note 7 fiasco I had! It really annoyed me as I was in transit and planes wouldn't let you board with them. I had sneak it back. Will see what significant changes there will be in note 8.

I am upgrading from Huawei mate 8 which was on it's last leg. So I will keep to S8.

Could go for no mix
