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

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I recommend to buy, the product is of high quality.

Another flaw in my copy that other copies did not have is that the white on the bend (left side) is consistently a touch greener than the rest of the screen. If you don't look closely, it is not noticeable, yet it is still bothersome. I find it inconvenient as there is no quick way to unlock the phone when it is on a table because the retinal scanner's field of view is insufficient, the fingerprint sensor is on the back, and the P-code is lengthy. Typically, the battery charge lasts for a few days (messaging, calls, some video, and web browsing). When using Always On Display, it leaks roughly 1% every 20 minutes, or 100% over the course of 30 hours. The "main screen" mode in the settings fixes the screen's acidic hues, which are a result of AMOLED by default. With the exception of the screen problems, the phone is nearly flawless and loaded with all the technology you could want in 2022.

Pros
  • AMOLED display has a deep black color, rounded corners, high resolution, and narrow bezels on the edges. Design: The 5.8" screen phone has symmetrical, rounded corners, and is more comfortable to handle than the previous model. 4.7" nexus 4 water repellent Connectors: USB Type-C, 2 SIM, MicroSD, 3.5 mm headphone jack Options include decent headphones right out of the box, a microUSB to USB adaptor, quick charging, and a speaker that was included in the kit but had awful sound quality. camera (stabilization, HDR, 4K video at 30 frames per second, night shooting) Secure folder, launcher and softkey customization, multitasking (two programs per screen), and Samsung Health
Cons
  • Screen: The image turns green at angles of 45 degrees and higher (this is not bothersome during regular use), as well as at the corners of the left and right edges, and even at angles of just 10 degrees (although this is already evident). For me, this is definitely the smartphone's biggest flaw. Design: Unless you purchase a case with which this issue is fixed, the fingerprint sensor is far away and impossible to quickly identify blindly. Additionally, the length of the phone made it impossible for one hand to access the notification panel due to the odd aspect ratio of 18:9 (although there is a one-handed operating option and it can be activated with a motion on the fingerprint sensor). Camera: When taking photos, the focus is subpar at a distance of about 10 cm, and when taking videos, there is no focus at all. Fast fingerprint sensor that occasionally fails to recognize prints (around 5% of cases, but the issue appears to be fixed after updating to Android 8.0 Oreo) Fast yet highly sensitive to eye position and distance is the retinal scanner. Programs: a number of non-removable applications (such as non-removable versions of Facebook, Microsoft Office, and some sort of uBank); duplicate Google applications (such as Samsung Notes vs. Google Keep; Gallery vs. Google Photo; Internet vs. Google Chrome; Bixby vs. Google; Samsung Music vs. Play Music; Play Market vs. Galaxy Apps; Email vs. gmail; 2 calculators; and 2 calendars). The majority of Samsung apps do not support landscape mode. Separately, I'll draw attention to the useless Bixby istant, which cannot be turned off using built-in features, does not recognize voices from 2022, and does not let you to activate English.
