Review on πŸ’Ž Renewed Samsung Galaxy S8 64GB Coral Blue Fully Unlocked Phone by Agata Korzeb ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good and quality product, but there are flaws.

Because a lot of positive things have already been said about the phone, I will focus instead on the difficulties I faced when making the transition from an iPhone 6s 64GB to this model. I can say for certain that the pre-installed software in Samsung no longer causes shock and disgust (I'm talking about the phone book, calendar, notes, and most importantly, the branded email client and browser), but on the contrary, in some places the implementation is even more convenient than on IOS. This is something that I can say with certainty. You can switch without any reluctance at all, in my opinion, if you are a girl who only needs a dialer, instant messengers, and Instagram on your phone. It's fine there as well! I've had a lot of difficulties with a number of the other apps that I really need, such Evernote and Todoist, as well as a few others that seem and function in a slightly different way. In addition, I was not successful in configuring some of the applets I worked with on iOS by using IFTTT. If we're talking about 3D Touch, then the only times I used it were to call my most frequently used contacts and to move the cursor around while I was typing. If you can tolerate the first, then life without the second is just so unbearable to contemplate. When I initially looked at the widgets in iOS, I thought they were weird, but now that I'm more familiar with Android, they appear more sensible. It's possible that they are united, and the fact that on Android everybody succeeds in doing whatever their heart desires is not cool at all. But maybe that's the case. Regarding applications in general, the vast majority of the ones available for android are uninteresting. I am an Apple fanatic, and I can state with certainty that the purchase of a S8 was compelled on me. At this very moment, my cherished iPhone has started to slow down, and some kind of hardware issues have started to manifest themselves (the backlight is flashing). As a consequence, it was essential to acquire something new, and in general, I desired a more sizable display (or rather, I wanted a more pleasant ratio of the display area to the body). I didn't want to take 7+ because it's the most shovel we have, and the design is really old-fashioned. To put it simply, their memory policy is infuriating: shifting from their 64GB to their minimal configuration from 32GB is strangely infuriating, and purchasing 128GB (there is no 64GB version) for 30k UAH - sorry, this is Ridiculous. Those who are considering making the transition to Android: have some patience; you will soon find out about all the wonderful features.

Pros
  • Display (for some reason that cannot be explained, reading lengthy texts on a Samsung is significantly more pleasurable than doing it on an iPhone. Could it be the size? The design? The camera? The ergonomics? The kit? Because Apple appears to look down its nose at its consumers, the inclusion of 64 GB of memory in the kit and the ability of adding more of it inspired a unique level of reverence.
Cons
  • Because I didn't have particularly high expectations, everything that happened was completely satisfactory.
