Review on πŸ“± Renewed Samsung Galaxy S8+ for AT&T - Arctic Silver, 64GB by Rimba ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I like everything, the quality is good, the price is acceptable.

In this case, the screen might be seen as both an advantage and a drawback. During initial exposure, there is a sense of awe. Those vivid, luscious hues. Without any bezels to cut into the image, and with rounded corners, the display seems to go on forever. This has a beneficial influence on the ergonomics of the phone, making it the optimum size for one hand use while still being rather slim for its diagonal. Yet, the flaws become obvious after only a few hours of use. To begin, getting a perfectly white color is really difficult. It shifts from a cool blue to a warm pink. Moreover, the edges are always set up differently than the central display. Second, rounded corners are the devil to work with. The image that lands on them is blurred and twisted in places. When working with text, it is particularly frustrating when new lines start without an indent. You may have trouble deciphering the initial letters. It can be excruciatingly difficult to use a software with buttons that are too close to the edge of the screen. When it comes to curves, there's virtually no sensitivity at all. Unfortunately, not every program can adjust to an unusual aspect ratio. The end product is vertical black bars. Battery of Disappointment The phone can barely make it through the day with two active SIM cards and typical use (web browsing, a few calls, some music). Common warning signs, but you anticipate a major advance from the flagship. It's great that the camera can capture such beautiful moments. Matrix sensitivity is really high. Even at twilight, the sound level of your shots will be fine without a flash. Noticeable distortion appears at the frame's boundaries when the resolution is set to maximum. So, you need to exercise caution. The results speak for themselves. It's all in the air. My belief is that it is difficult to force a phone to go blunt. To me, that's an excessively high price. Certainly, it's a rather good gadget, but it's not flawless. There are a few of claims that may be made, but they are more likely to apply to any of the current crop of flagship smartphones and not this specific model. Just why isn't there an FM radio and a second speaker for true stereo sound without the need for headphones?! It's really practical and cheap.
