Review on Renewed Samsung Galaxy πŸ’™ S8+ Coral Blue, 64GB for AT&T by Arina Foliez ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Well done, but I wont buy any more.

An acceptable first-rate product. Yet I was upset enough to want to replace it right away. A high-quality finger scanner makes the side start button useless, so it's preferable to move it to the top. No need for Bixby to highlight a button in a practical location if it is truly important for developers. And if you break an old pattern, you won't even need that volume change. Think of how much more convenient and stylish a high-end smartphone would be sans bulky buttons on the sidewalls if the developer made waking up with a double touch on the screen the norm. The screen's odd contours finally irritated me. It's vertical dimensions are excessive and its horizontal dimensions are just barely enough, with a diagonal of 6.2 inches. Curved sidewalls may have been novel in the past, but they now serve no use other than to restrict the full utilization of the screen surface. Displays with rounded sides are so last decade (remember the long-obsolete CRT -monitors).

Pros
  • Architecture, a selection of designs. Production standards. Easy-to-use water resistance. AOD. decreased upper and lower body portions seen on screen. The price is reasonable.
Cons
  • Viewable area on a screen. The developers are imposing Bixby on the users. Buttons that stick out from the sides of the display, which may or may not be present in a device having such capabilities. General screen form (but not the picture). This finger scanner is in an awkward location.
