Review on πŸ’Ž Renewed Samsung Galaxy S8 64GB Coral Blue Fully Unlocked Phone by Akmal Ibrahim Alex ᠌

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Don't buy it, it's not what it should be.

Oh that screen. Out of the box (it was bought at the start from an official dealer) it was defective (like my last S7, hmm) - a third of the screen was with white stripes even with a perfectly black background. What can not be physically possible on a normal OLED. They replaced it under warranty with no problems (Samsung still has great service). Everything was fine until a couple of months ago it cracked. Myself. Here he took and cracked. The phone has not come out of the case since the purchase. Never fell. It was lightly thrown on a soft sofa and. A crack appeared on the right side. A month ago, a group of dead pixels fell out on the left :) The battery has degraded in 6 months. Now the phone is a little over a year old, it works only in power saving mode. At the time of writing the review - 10 hours of battery power, 2 hours 34 minutes of screen, 5 minutes of talk and 30 minutes of music. 37% left - the one-year-old S7 Active lasts almost 2.5 times longer on a single charge. And the icing on the cake is the Bixby button. About her already lazy did not write.

Pros
  • - Some characteristics of the screen and its framelessness; - The sound from the speaker is better than on S7; - Moisture protection; - Good camera; - Ergonomics (yes, I'm one of those who are comfortable with the location of the fingerprint scanner)
Cons
  • - Screen (details in the comment); - Battery (after 6 months of use); - Price; - Bixby and everything related to it
