Review on Renewed Samsung Galaxy S8+ Maple Gold 64GB Fully Unlocked by Soo Chang ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Nothing special, there are positive and negative sides.

In general, the impressions are negative. Yes, the design of the phone is good (especially the olweiss display looks beautiful). But that doesn't outweigh the drawbacks you wouldn't expect at this price point, chief among which is that the phone isn't comfortable to use. With the same iPhone or Xiaomi Redmi, this moment is much more thought out

Pros
  • - high quality screen - high quality paint and display, after 1.3 years of use, the glossy paint on the edges is almost free of scratches, not a single scratch on the display or back cover, in general it looks like new, although I use the phone rather inaccurately - for a year of use, the battery has not become weaker, it keeps a stable day, if not heavily loaded - stable operation of the system, for the entire time of use I do not remember any freezes as a result of which it would be necessary to restart the phone - probably a good camera, but I'm not sure that today's competitors for this price will not be better
Cons
  • - there is some kind of glitch in the software on the phone, it is impossible to watch videos on YouTube offline (a paid feature of YouTube when you can watch videos with the screen turned off). When you turn off the screen in YouTube, the sound also stops going, and not immediately, but after some time. The same thing happens with music, the sound is often cut off when switching to sleep mode. I noticed this in these 2 applications, in contact and mp3 player, the sound in sleep mode works without interruption - Bixby button. In addition to the fact that it is absolutely meaningless, it is impossible to outweigh any functions other than opening some kind of incomprehensible portal with games, movies and other nonsense. - either because of the beveled edges, or from something else - it turns out a lot of accidental button presses that lead to switching tracks, and so on. Very uncomfortable - there is no function to block SMS messages from nominal numbers (there is on xiaomi redmi 3s) - I noticed some special performance compared to the same xiaomi redmi 3s.
