Review on Renewed Samsung Galaxy S8+ Maple Gold 64GB Fully Unlocked by Agata Schultz ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

In general, everything is not bad, but I expected more.

The phone from the front is very beautiful, which is why I bought it for almost 3 months. back. I still can't watch! It is not convenient to hold in the hand without a cover. Build quality and materials expected much more, at least at the level of HTC. In my case, the rear window was glued a little crookedly, the metal rim was somehow scratched even in the case. The screen is good only at max. resolution. I liked its elongated shape. The picture quality is not bad, but amoled is certainly not for everyone. When I take my old phone with an IPS screen (HTC M9), I like the picture on it much more, higher clarity and generally more pleasing to the eye. Water protection works, which is very important for me, I even tried it in sea water. True, after that the phone cannot be charged for about 2 days, it swears at moisture in the port. Drying with a hair dryer is useless, it looks like some kind of software limitation. I managed to deceive him by plugging in the charging wire at the moment the phone was turned on (when the Samsung inscription appears). The iris scanner is a useless thing. You must first unlock the phone with the button, then swipe the screen, then rotate the phone in front of your eyes to get into the mask. Not only is it long, but it also looks strange from the outside. Face recognition only works in good lighting conditions. Considering that the fingerprint sensor is also problematic, it turns out that none of the unlocking methods work normally, which is depressing. The battery holds up well. I just have enough until the end of the day, despite the fact that I load the phone well. The phone number is not unique. In my opinion, it is not worth the money requested for it, and the statements that this is the best phone on the market are rather controversial. But he is just handsome, and there are no normal alternatives to the design at the moment (LG G6 is not so liked). The perception of the phone as a whole is pleasant and for now I am ready to forgive him for all his many shortcomings!

Pros
  • Very beautiful frontal part, I have long dreamed of such a thing! The curved display, although a useless thing, makes the phone visually even more interesting. Beautiful shell. Pleased with the stability of the phone. After the shamelessly buggy and slowing down Samsung tablets that I had, I was very afraid for this. There are microlags, but they do not bother much. Not a bad camera. By default, the colors are very oversaturated, but in the settings everything can be fixed. I was pleasantly surprised by shooting in low light conditions. IP68 is great!
Cons
  • Bixby button - how many times have I cursed the person who put it there! When you press the power button, the index finger is on it, there is always an accidental press. And even without a button, he somehow constantly gets out, which is very, very annoying. By the way, the thing itself is absolutely stupid, some kind of cheap parody of Blinkfeed from NTS with the addition of a non-working voice assistant. The screen gets scratched very quickly. I did not observe this on more than one phone (there was Sony, iPhone and 2 NTS). Very short-lived oleophobic screen coating, began to peel off in places after 2 months. On the last NTS, I observed this after 2 years of intensive use, and even then not so much. I found a broken pixel a week after purchase. I do not strain, because It is visible only on a black background (I do not use the Olweis display mode). On the curved edges, the screen is a little pink (it also does not bother). Fingerprint sensor - I join all the curses that sound against him. I didn’t get used to the location until the end for 2 months. Plus, it is rather slow and sometimes does not work the first time. Very uncomfortable dialer, immediately put a third-party.
