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

Revainrating 3 out of 5

There are a few bugs, basically the norm.

I got it because of a great sale on one network; the two-device discount brought the total to $20,000 off list price. However, after comparing it to my previous phone, a Huawei P20 Lite that I purchased for $16,000, I don't see much of an improvement. The P20's camera is superior, to be sure, but I don't consider it a deal-breaker. Having this phone gives you the impression that you bought it for $40,000, not $16,000. Just recently, the opportunity came itself, and I decided to acquire something from the flagships that wasn't too expensive. It's not that much of a big deal that this is a very costly phone; in fact, I'm once again convinced that $20,000 is the absolute ceiling for a smartphone purchase; anything above that is pure vanity.

Pros
  • Not too small, not too large. Wow, that's quite neat The phone's cover makes it obvious that it's not a $15-$20k Chinese knockoff but rather a premium model. Compared to the huawei p20 lite, the camera produces superior shots. What sold me on this model was its support for wireless charging; conventional models lack this feature. I have a wireless external battery and docking station set up for it at home; when I'm not using my phone, it stays in the dock. In my perspective, the camera is excellent.
Cons
  • Extremely costly; I paid $32,000 for mine on May 11, 2022, and while that was a bargain, the item now retails for $3,990 everywhere. One more bixbi button isn't needed. Because of its small size and inconsistent performance (it's better on the P20), accidentally unlocking the phone or opening the camera is a real possibility when using the fingerprint unlock button. After installing some antiquated software, the 2022 model's battery finally dies. Weak, it usually manages to discharge up to 15%, making it inconvenient if I charge it to 100% at 9 am and then connect it to an external battery at 5 pm. I've had enough of him, all the time on the charge notwithstanding. When compared to my new Lenovo laptop and this phone, the difference between them is like heaven and earth; I give him 3 points, p. Ch. battery below any criticism. In general, I have begun to treat all Samsungs with suspicion due to their very weak batteries. It's not as convenient to screen with your palm or the buttons as it was on my old xiaomi because there is no screen in the top curtain.
