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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I am amazed at how well made the product is, just magical!

I got a wow effect from the speed and responsiveness of the interface, the amount of memory (I hardly need an SD card), rich colors, excellent visibility from all angles. And it's still waterproof! The frameless screen gives the most positive sensations. Both beautiful and practical - the screen is larger with a smaller device. Definitely this is the trend of the near future. To unlock, you do not need to enter codes. The smartphone recognizes the owner of what is called in person. True, in the dark, this function does not work stably. Then I use fingerprint. The fingerprint scanner is located on the back next to the camera. I tried the iris scanner in the Samsung Pay app. By the way, also the right application. Always easy to open with a swipe from the bottom up. It is a pity that not everywhere there is still a paypas. Energy consumption is satisfactory. Enough for a day is stable. And this is in maximum consumption mode. There are cost reduction options. There is a built-in optimizer that extinguishes unnecessary applications. Everything is good here. Chips appeared in Android. Multi-windowing on a large screen is useful. You can pin YouTube at the top, and write a message at the bottom. Edge panels are a new multi-window menu system. Moves out by swiping to the right (there is an inconspicuous shortcut on the screen for this). It is convenient that you do not need to go to the main screen. You open the menu on top of any application and perform the desired action. Then I got a taste and bought a GearVR helmet. Just came out a new one with a remote control. Virtual reality is still far from perfect. 360 video can be watched, but the quality is just tears. The visual quality of the games is reminiscent of the prehistoric PC x286. And yet there is an effect of presence in the 3D world. This is an exciting new feeling. I hope the VR direction develops and improves quickly. Even to celebrate, I bought a wireless charger - super! I will buy one for work. In general, I'm happy. Now I'm thinking, maybe it was worth buying not S8, but S8 + or even Note. Then, probably, there would be no need for a tablet.

Pros
  • Frameless screen - a fairy tale. After it, you do not want to hold smartphones of previous generations in your hands.
Cons
  • Missing letters when typing messages. They're very small. But overall happy as an elephant
