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

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Nice price, good quality.

One of the best phones I have ever had. It's a shame only for the fragile screen. With its pros. Exceptional screen, convincingly long battery life, unexpectedly cool built-in software (Samsung's own browser instantly supplanted Chrome, which I used for several years, due to night mode and the ability to replace password entry with biometric identification; Samsung Cloud cloud service works very digestibly). Together with the phone I bought a Gear S3 watch, specifically in this bundle of two Samsung devices, they both produce the most positive effect. Beautiful, fast, convenient phone. At the start of sales of the phone, many were worried about the fingerprint scanner - the excitement is groundless, the finger does not fall on the camera lens after a month of use. Its cons: 1) Unexpectedly fragile case. Compared to phones, say, HTC mid-2022s, the fragile glass of the S8 does not stand up to criticism, the phone cracked in the first months after purchase, when dropped from a very small height (20-40 centimeters). Due to the nature of the design, glass replacement is quite an expensive operation. 2) Constantly loses the signal of the mobile network. I do not think that this is a problem with the SIM card, because. she stood in the last phone of another model, where there were no such problems. A little disappointed that at home I have to periodically reboot the network on my flagship phone, otherwise calls and SMS simply do not get through to me. 3) The Bixby assistant is conceived interestingly, but in practice it is useless - an entire button on the body is spent on it, and its functions are duplicated by other applications that work more efficiently.
