Review on Renewed Samsung Galaxy S8+ Maple Gold 64GB Fully Unlocked by Anastasiia Hrytsenko ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

A practical product, nothing to complain about.

The glass was glued in the store, but on the second day it broke on the keys in my pocket (to smithereens). Now I super carefully follow what pocket I put in. Nervous. Survived two falls and wallowing at the bottom of a backpack among non-sharp things (result - scratches on the back cover). Imitation of the iPhone is twofold, the phone inherits both pluses and minuses. Face recognition works in 50% of cases (and the system only tries to recognize it once, then you have to press the button so that it tries again). Recognition of the retina makes my eyes hurt, and holding the phone with my arm outstretched forward to unlock it is uncomfortable and strange. As a result, if the face was not immediately recognized, then I will unlock it with a pattern. Fingerprints are recognized, but the button is inconveniently located, drawing is faster and more convenient. I've been using the phone for a little over a month, then I'll write an ate)

Pros
  • I was looking for a new phone for a very long time, before that there were different Samsungs and Xiaomis (top models). The requirement was - a phone for comfortable holding with one (small female) hand, while modern and productive. This Samsung has a wow factor - a screen! And the back panel, it sticks directly to your hand when you hold it. Delight, how comfortable it is in the hand! Good set, good headphones The screen is bright, the microphone is super, the speaker is super! A convenient option with face recognition, and a clock display mode in sleep mode. I like the sidebar, mainly because of the quick access to screenshots.
Cons
  • Working hours! I have almost everything turned off all the time, except for the Internet. I don't watch videos for hours, I don't play games. Doesn't last a day at all! Operating system. "If you use the fm radio app a lot, we suggest putting it to sleep to improve your phone's power efficiency." Well, yes, I listened to music for half an hour, and now what - put the phone on the shelf and not use it ? "And a lot of this," for fools ", extra settings (whereas there are none necessary for me, for example, set up a separate melody for a contact) . He's slippery! Everywhere but your palm. Already fell out of bed twice, lay a little unevenly on the blanket and just slipped off. Like a sled from an ice slide. It's scary to put it in shallow pockets, it falls out (especially if you are riding a scooter). The fingerprint scanner is awkwardly placed.
