What do you all think of the Samsumg Galaxy s8? Is it the best phone on the market right now?

What do you all think of the Samsumg Galaxy s8? Is it the best phone on the market right now?

I need to upgrade from my Galaxy s5 and I'm not sure what is best.

yes

alright cool

yeah do it its nice

If you’re going to spend the money, you might as well get the iPhone X.

Faster, looks better, better OS...

Meme screen

iphone is:
>objectively faster
>better camera
>no google botnet
>respects your privacy
>long term support

Second to the iPhone 8/8Plus but otherwise okay.

good goy

How is it that the same tech nerds who value their privacy, security, and best software, ended up joining the Google botnet, and being so willing to buy phones with TouchWiz?

>1000 dollar wait forever meme phone
>buy one get one s8 from T-Mobile
for the money

hope you didn't type this on an android phone

They're falling for the same type of marketing that they say Apple users fall for. Even worse, they shill against Apple in favor of companies like Google and Samsung FOR FREE.

Buy iPhone 8+ instead. Same chip with iPhone X, without the meme hairline.

Samsung phones are trash.

I think the S8 is the most polished android phone on the market.

S8+ owner. Best fucking phone i ever had.

Yes the iphone has it's own features but as a s5 owner the s8 is the logical step.

Pic is my s8 setup.

wtf is wrong with TouchWiz?

>1080x2220
not 1440x2960

So... how is it the best phone on the market? Can anyone tell me why?

Pro tip: it's not the best phone on the market right now.

I really think you should go to a store and check one out. I was REALLY surprised when holding an 18:9 screen smartphone for the first time. I didn't like it at all and I'm never buying a smartphone with such a screen.

That font

Doesn't lag when i type like my old unlike my iphone 7

phone of the year tbqh senpai

It's the best phone.

The tall display is odd at first, but your thumb can reach across most of the display -- save for the top.

The fingerprint sensor is fast and even though some people are complaining, I can reach it perfectly fine and I have "average" hands.

Display is the best. Its a thousand knits of brightness I think and it looks ridiculously sharp. I used to have a Galaxy J3 budget phone with an amoled display and even that looked clear for its 720p display.

LG's OLED typically look slightly yellow and they dilute at different rates. It looks kind of like blobs of piss around the display. I've learned this long from the LG Flex 2 days.

HTC is probably the second best, but they are priced similar and there is no longer a reason to own an HTC over the competition.

Sony STILL uses LCD displays which look poor compared to everyone else. They do not beleive in the tall display resolution since Sony Mobile will not release movies beyond the standard 16x9 for the time being. So Sony won't make a bezeless display.

Design is as comfortable as it can get.

Cons? The speaker sucks ass. Even iphones have front facing speakers and Samsung needs to follow suit. Its odd everything about the phone excels minus the speakers.

Do not get the Pixel. Other than less bloat and security updates. Having the latest and greatest update is a moot (?) point now. Samsung actually has some useful features like making .gif's out of any part of the screen you want to record and continous screenshots like..screening a message list.

S8 is good shit. Id buy if i wasnt a broke fag.

i prefer the HTC U11 over the S8 but they're both great phones
tbch though I'd wait for the V30

does the iphone 8 have a headphone jack or can you upgrade storage with a micro sd card? those are important to me

Don't temp me. Pic related.

Personal preference

No jack, no sd slot. Gotta have a dongle or bluetooth, and the new Iphones only come in two sizes, 64 and 256.

thats such a deal breaker, damn

Have an S8+, love it. Get a case for it though.

I've been using smartphones since the Nexus One. Never ever used a case on any phone, never ever had any cracks or damage on any phone.

But TWO days into owning my S8+, it slid out of my pocket while I was sitting, hit the floor, and the back shattered. This thing is delicate as fuck. I have insurance but apparently the replacements are refurbished, so fuck that.

Also, GearVR is awesome and the porn is next-generation.

JUST
DO
IT

the best phone would be the phone that costs as little as possible, and produces value through use. Since phones don't really get any new valuable functionality after +- $350. The galaxy s8 costs way more than $350, so I'd say that it's not the best phone.

It could be the best status symbol, but that's not the function of a phone.

If you don't like Samsung, I'd wait for the LG V30, that one looks pretty promising, and has a quad dac for the jack and sd support.

It's on par with Samsung with updates and has a leaner interface paired with android. It's just annoying that they are waiting so goddamn long to release the phone.

I'm on the 6S+ now but I'm going to wait until next year to see if I'm willing to commit with no jack.

I bought a S8 after I fried my Xperia Z3 at a pool party. Screen looks great and I like the edges, but at the same time, said edges make it hard to click something there. I'm also annoyed how unresponsible the screen can sometimes be, e.g. when playing a game, I can't properly select my units by pressing said spot a bit longer. But maybe it's just some bad settings I haven't figured out yet.

Its battery life is fantastic.

A shekel for the goyim

If iPhone 7 was on that list it would beat the Samsung too

I don't understand this. What's the native resolution then? Are lower resolutions supersampled?

have an S7, so besides the battery life getting to shit a year and a half into having it, i like it.
figure the s8 would be good too, besides the forced edge meme screen.
probably sticking with this phone for the foreseeable future

I got the S8 active and very much enjoy it.

Got a unicorn beetle case for it too.

Absolutely disgusting theme, why would you do that?

...

>I need to upgrade from my Galaxy s5
you very likely don't

Not everyone is a "use things for ten years because I can't afford better" poorfag

>I need to upgrade from my Galaxy s5
Why?

It's great but s8+ is better.

S8 active is better. Same performance, no meme curved screen, better battery life, can drop it without having to get a new phone, no need for a case.

Only reason Ocoee the normal S7 over the Active was the active can't fit with great vr. Otherwise actives are awesome

got a note 8 today what's some good cases for it?

Yes goyim, keep up the good work!

would you be so kind to share that wallpaper? Looks so confy

Yes
Blows my Nexus 6p out the water

patrician wallpaper
bless you

>S6
>IP certification
You're a dumb nigger
S5 had IP67, S6 has none, S7 has 68

Camila Mendes, she's perfect

>Dat aspect ratio.

I wasn't prepared for this. Updating my shitty apps layouts is been a nightmare. And then there's this fucking igoy x.

I'm glad someone in here was honest. Everyone else seems to be an employee of either Samsung or Apple.

Here you go senpai

Get a CAT S41

nice wp can you share it, user?

>2560x1920
What kind of 3:4 wizardry is this

Wait for the s9, Forbes reporting rumblings about the fingerprint sensor being underneath the screen.

It's like nothing else, a thing of luxury, makes the content look way better cause of that edge display.

Any deals on the s8? Or s8+? Just cracked my phone screen and thinking of upgrading

>What do you all think of the Samsumg Galaxy s8?
It's retarded
>Is it the best phone on the market right now?
Not by a longshot.

That clock is atrocious.

>no front facing fingerprint scanner

trashed

>Snapdragon 835 in the US model

literally paying hundreds of dollars extra for a bezeless screen, fucking dropped.

Many people's Samsung Galaxy S8s start lagging after a month or so of use.

Not true for the pixel. Everything just werks

What is the best phone on the market right now?

>no google botnet
>gets apple botnet instead

>smart phone
>snitching on yourself
choose one

America is unironically the worst place in the world to buy a phone
>get gimped specs
>can't buy phones from abroad because the US uses different bands to the rest of the world
>some areas have only one carrier and they take advantage of that

BlackBerry Passport

fixed

What the fuck? Get a Motorola StarTAC you disgusting plebeian.

I upgraded from the 6S to the Note 8 and the iPhone 6S beats it in benchmarks. But thanks to more RAM, literally nothing gets kicked out of memory on the Note, while Twitter and Discord needs to be reloaded every single time on iOS 11. Probably a software added limitation on iOS 11 because that shit didn't happen on iOS 10.

>like samsung oled screens
>hate almost everything else they have introduced since S3
Pls sony just make an xperia compact with oled already I'll buy 5 then never buy another phone till I bloody die

It's all personal preference, if you like IOS, buy an apple. if you like android, buy the S8.

I got the Note 8 and the speaker sounds better than the iPhone 7s. I almost never hold my phone landscape, so I miss out on the stereo effect anyways, just set the EQ so it can do lower frequencies better, with bass turned up, it sounded more bearable than the iPhone 7s.

>spending more than $300 on a phone that will be outdated a year later

>locked bootloader
>bloatware shit
>bixby shit

I buy apple get the screen without the bullshit

get a Galaxy s6

they're still good and cheaper while still being flagship devices

>Spending

Being outdated doesn't mean shit, it just means there's something newer and more expensive that does the same thing.

S8+ owner

It's gorgeous, best of the galaxy line (durr).

The battery life is insane though, I charge the phone every other day instead of every night.

>The battery life is insane though, I charge the phone every other day instead of every night
I've been doing better than that for years

>x86 devices in line up with ARM devices
good job toms hardware

>The battery life is insane though, I charge the phone every other day instead of every night.


wowwwwwwwww

How else will they demonstrate that cellphones with ARM processors are performing better than laptops with x86 ones?

Do NOT get an S6. The battery life is totally unsustainable on 7.0. You get MAYBE 3 hours of SOT with light/moderate use. If you actually use your phone, expect it to die in less than 2.

>>not realizing the benchmarks are not at all the same
>>not realizing x86 is much different from ARM, therefore thinking they are on same battleground

I charge mine every night but it only gets down to 80-85% after a full day of usage.

There was a setting that stopped that

Yeah I remember now, if you reset all app privileges that stopped.

I downloaded some embarrassing anime wallpapers on the Samsung theme thingy and even when I delete them they're still listed in my purchases, how do I remove them?

Same here. First day it slipped out of my pocket in the car.
No breakage thankfully.
My first phone with a case. What's wrong with plastic? What's the point of the glass back if it requires a plastic case?

Have you found it yet?

Utter shite
