Review on πŸ’» Samsung Galaxy S8 SM-G950 Unlocked 64GB US Version Midnight Black with US Warranty by Iori Yagami

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Unsuitable product, not worth the money.

Even if I prepared myself for the vehicle's fragility by watching accident testing before making a purchase, I still don't support such independence. Samsung advertises 16 hours of movie playback time, however you won't get even 4 of that. I want a guarantee that says, "Do anything, or give me my money back." I'm going to keep citing numbers: It has as much as 7 percent left, despite the fact that I charged it in dinner at 8% is not enough, of course, but still - just catastrophically terrible autonomy for a new device. I set the battery mode to balanced, and the total number of bodies after charging is 12 hours 47 minutes; the screen is on for a total of 3 hours 3 minutes; there was no gaming at all, and only Internet viber conversations lasted 41 minutes.

Pros
  • Superb craftsmanship, ultra-soft feel, and lightning-fast operation.
Cons
  • Only 23% of the battery remains after being on for 13 hours (with the screen on for barely 2.5 of those hours), and it's dissolving before our eyes. My prior phones were all cheap Chinese knockoffs, but this one has the worst battery life of any of them. The phone is extremely expensive and extremely delicate; a simple drop will likely crack the screen or the back cover. To prove my point that the rear fingerprint reader is annoying, here's what I've always said: It's not practical for PPC because you can't easily press it from behind, it doesn't work very well, and you can't press it at all when the phone is lying flat on the table. There's also face recognition, but that's much worse. The manufacturer freely admits that when rapid face recognition is used, the process is slower, you often have to bring the phone closer, bright sunlight has a negative effect, and it virtually doesn't work in the dark (if not accelerated, probably wait 5 seconds, did not try) This approach to phone security is not particularly reliable. Verification via the retina is another option; whether or not it's secure, it's not as reliable as the other two techniques. In order to make a call, you must position the phone far nearer to your face than is comfortable. No matter how loud it is, its design is fundamentally simple: it's just a bar of soap with a nice glossy black finish that's slippery like soap and looks like the headlights and taillights of cars that have been coated (pasted with a film) black. The phone is only three days old, but I've already run into a problem: I can't send or receive Viber messages, despite having Internet access via both sim cards and a wireless connection.
