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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The best price for such a product, I will buy more!

Subjectively satisfied with the purchase until I remember the price. Samsung seemed to skip one generation of their flagships and released not the S8, but the S9 right away. Compared to previous years, the jump in sensations is very significant. On April 1, there was a joke that Samsung would release the S8 mini. You know, if this was not a joke, then I would have waited and bought it. And finally, advice. If you are going to change your phone to a flagship in 2022, and now you have an android smartphone, take the S8, but in a month or two, when the price drops. If you are the owner of the iPhone - wait for the next generation until the fall. No new android chips can overcome the inconvenience of the new OS.

Pros
  • For me personally, point by point: 1) Screen. Both quality and wow-effect - everything is present. The picture is juicy and bright. After Sony (xperia Z1/Z3 compact), the colors seem very saturated, I would even say too much. 2) Frames around the screen. In fact, they are. And not only from above and below, but also on the sides. Subjectively, about 1-2 millimeters. For me personally, this is a plus, since, unlike the s7 edge, there are much fewer accidental clicks. 3) Complete set. They put in more and more. 2 adapters, good headphones, adaptive charging at 1.5-2 amperes. Although regarding the topic of headphones, in my subjective opinion, you can buy very decent headphones with active noise reduction for 3,000, for example, from the same Sony, and they will be more convenient in everyday tasks. But there are some good people here, and thanks for that.
Cons
  • In addition to the price: 1) Screen unlock. There are 3 types of quick unlock - by face, by retina and by fingerprint. And all 3 curves: a. Retina. Firstly, for this unlocking to work, you need to make a face like from the video "the door was washed down with me", otherwise it will not recognize the retina. Imagine the comical situation when a person brings the phone right up to their face and SHOOTS at it. Well, the main problem of this unlocking is that you can remember only one retina. Of course, I understand everything, but often not only the owner uses the phone in the family, for example, family members take the phone to watch videos, surf the Internet, take a photo. And then it remains only to dial the pin code. b. face scanner. It is more convenient - no need to make an idiotic face, place the phone in the only correct position, as with the retina. But he can remember only one face, so for others, again, only a pin code. And no, you cannot remember one retina and one face at the same time - these types of authentication do not combine. At the expense of hacking this species through a photo. I tried it and honestly I will tell you that there is a level of "pulling by the ears", like the idea of ​​copying a fingerprint from a glass from which the smartphone owner drank. in. Fingerprint scanner. Better to forget about it altogether, consider it non-existent. 2) Phone size. It is narrow, which is convenient for the grip. But the screen is very elongated - reaching with one hand to the top curtain without intercepting the smartphone is unrealistic. It lies in the hand as firmly as a piece of glass with a slippery oleophobic coating can lie firmly in the hand. 3) Choice of colors. In 2022, 3 colors are presented - Black (one in one Jet Black), Gold (not quite "ay nane-nane", but not for men for sure) and Purple, which I bought. He, I would say, with the effect of a chameleon - depending on the lighting, it changes color from "grape" to black. A couple more flowers wouldn't hurt. 4) It's scary to wear. There is an underlying feeling that the phone has a life limit before the first hard fall. But we'll see.
