Review on Samsung Galaxy S8+ Renewed, Midnight Black, 64GB, Fully Unlocked for Enhanced SEO by Somsak Pasalae ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

A completely ordinary product, nothing remarkable.

The phone is standard fare, with an attractive and divisive aesthetic. To avoid the problems I was having with my Note 5, I upgraded. The new style is available for purchase if you're interested. If you're looking for game-changing results (this is not for Samsung with their mali). If you're shooting in low light with an S6, Note 5, or S7, you're not going to get a great result (at most, 10%), but you might be able to salvage a passable photo. For myself, I wouldn't upgrade to the S8 + from a phone from the past two years, even if it's a good fit for you. There is nothing genuinely new that you will receive. If you already have a phone, there is no reason to sell it and acquire this one. but if you have an S5 or lower, you should get it. For the past three years, technological advancements have been limited to the Samsung design and the occasional pointless, awkward, and functional toy, such as a face and eye scanner. To be honest, I would not have purchased this phone if my Note 5 hadn't been damaged. The S7 Edge, which is nearly twice as cheap, is a better value given the similarities between it and the S7.

Pros
  • An innovative and intriguing new layout. In all respects, the battery has proven reliable. Continuous screen time of 5.5-6 hours on 4G and 8.5-9 hours on Wi-Fi. Takes photos that are 10 percent better than the Note 5, but not more, and this slight improvement wipes out a far larger disadvantage.
Cons
  • The camera is a significant drawback. Not sure what the Koreans did to the firmware, but now it only records a horrible, soapy video at night and when the light is dim. It's a total scandal. In comparison, the videos shot by my 2-year-old Note 5 were more crisper and more attractive; there was some background noise, to be sure, but I did not anticipate seeing soap smears. The rounded design was not something I appreciated. Samsung, do you think we've gone back to the days of round-screen tube televisions? This phone reminds me of a vintage tube TV, and that's exactly the impression I get.
