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

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Overall it's not bad, but I expected more.

By purchasing such an expensive device, you expect some special convenience of its use, and not a hysterical desire to smash "THIS HELL MACHINE" in a fit of rage. I encountered the following problems in 3 days of use: 1. Voice assistant S voice. When we studied the phone settings, we accidentally turned on this function, out of habit and by analogy with the Galaxy A5, where it functioned with a bang. In this device, the Bixby assistant, as it turned out, is in the development phase. This feature is for people with disabilities. As a result, a nasty voice began to voice the name of the on-screen keyboard keys. The sensor did not respond to either double or triple, or to any pressing at any angle and at any interval. Therefore, it was almost impossible to turn it off. As a result, a factory reset was required. But for this it was necessary to turn off the phone by entering the password. After spending 4 hours, I don’t know how, I succeeded. Shock and horror. But in the subsequent phone worked without claims. Thank you for your sympathy with the support service, because we didn’t have to expect much help from them. 2. When buying, I did not check the headphones. Bottom line - when the headphones were connected, the phone did not see them, reproducing sound through an external speaker. Again they called those support - they recommended turning on the phone in safe mode and checking - it did not help. Reboots and all the actions usually performed by the layman - without effect. The result - a claim was written to the store about the replacement of goods of inadequate quality, in my head - the realization of the loss of a lot of time. Everything is in boxes. In the morning, before going to the store, I plug in the headphones (well, you never know). Bottom line - the headphones start working! AS? I do not understand. Apparently my Samsung had to be deprived of "headphone virginity"))) . In general, now I look at it with caution and do not know whether to advise or not. I have never experienced such feelings with a new phone.

Pros
  • Design (acquired in black), screen brightness, use of biometric data (it is convenient for me to use both a retinal scanner and fingerprints), excellent image quality. Convenient ability to work with 2 windows at the same time. Lies well in the hand. Convenient to use with 1 hand
Cons
  • slippery, prints remain, some applications are unfinished. Even the technical support service cannot help to solve the problems that arise, referring to software flaws. Pretty weak battery. Feels like it takes a long time to charge on wireless charging. From the network it charges several times faster.
