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

Revainrating 3 out of 5

I thought it would be better, but overall not bad.

4. On the Galaxy S4, when an SMS arrived, it popped up on the lock screen, and if you click on it, the phone offered to unlock the screen, after which you could immediately read the message. On the S8, a narrow bar pops up for a few seconds, but press it, don't press it. First you need to wake up the phone, dial a pin code or put your finger on the scanner 5. Fingerprint scanner next to the camera. But the entire Internet is already written about this. 6. The interface for entering the time value in applications located in two circles. Personally, it has always been convenient for me to enter the time from the NORMAL NUMERIC keyboard! Apparently, the same "designer" who sculpted the clock on the lock screen tried. 7. Bixby button. Personally, I'm used to talking to real people, not to mechanisms, and to me this button is like a fifth leg to a dog, or an umbrella to a fish. They say that without dancing with a tambourine, you can’t even reassign it to another more necessary function. I would hang a flashlight on it, or a camera, in my opinion it would be more useful. 8. Lack of an IR port. Basically - a trifle. But soldering an infrared diode, connecting it and making a small hole in the case could. And on the S4, this function helped me out several times. 9. Lack of FM radio. Also a trifle. I would not write, but the American version of the S8 has it. 10. Checking for ates not even via WiFi, but via MOBILE DATA, despite the fact that it is not Samsung that pays for mobile data, but the SUBSCRIBER of the cellular network, that is, you! On 03/10/2022, after turning on mobile data, a message appeared on my phone stating that new ates had been released. The message required a response to install ates now, or later. One of the managers in one of the Samsung showrooms said that the new S9 will offer upgrades in exactly the same way! Insolence is no longer climbing into any gate! It seems that lately Samsung has been very monkeying with apples, and the worst! So think about whether you need such a "flagship".

Pros
  • 1. Fast 2. Excellent design 3. High quality display 4. High quality camera 5. High-speed video shooting (for some reason it is called "slow shooting") 6. Fingerprint scanner works well
Cons
  • Basically it's built-in software. 1. Installing ates WITHOUT THE CONSENT OF THE OWNER OF THE PHONE! Page 207 S8 instructions: "When urgent ates are released . they will be installed on the device without the user's consent" And what a fright!?. According to Article 35 of the Constitution of the 2022, the right to private property is protected by law! The phone is my PRIVATE PROPERTY, the Internet channel also belongs to me for the duration of the contract with the provider. On the basis of what does Samsung use both without my permission?!. Some ates in the phone have only two options in the settings: "WiFi or mobile networks" and "Only via WiFi". For example "Security Policies", or "Themes". DO NOT turn it off completely! If WiFi is NOT unlimited, for example, a WiFi router with a USB modem and a separate SIM card, for example, somewhere in the country, then whenever WiFi is turned on, the phone will pump out at my expense as much as it sees fit! 2. Bright white default theme which not everyone likes, can't select dark theme like Galaxy S4 and earlier phones, can't find CLASSIC style dark theme in "Themes" and app store (everywhere skulls, anime, etc.) .p. G.) And to be able to create your own theme, you need: a) register with Samsung, b) send your portfolio and then they will THINK if you are worthy to create topics even if just for yourself! The software that does this is on the network, but only older versions that only support models up to S6. It was necessary to make a cult of the wallpaper and the color of the buttons! 3. Clock on the lock screen, where the hours are on top and the minutes are on the bottom. They're freaking out! This "designer" and this watch would.
