I really like the bigger screen , but the edge is not really functional for me . The phone has some neat features like the blue light filter that keeps my eyes from straining as bad . Not much has changed since the g7 exept for a few things . Bixby will be great , but now it not much use . I how the fast adaptive charge charges my phone from 0% to 100% in less than an hour ( actually about 45min ) . The battery is larger on the 8+ , but will run down about the same as the 8 regular . The one thing I can't get past is figuring out how to change the predictive dictionary function. I've gone thru text settings and fiddled with the alphabet codes , but my galaxy 5 blows the galaxy 8 away on dictionary settings . I don't want to have to DL a keyboard app, but it's looking that way now. Other than the predictive text it's the best phone I've ever had .
I love the phone at first I thougjt.. It's kinda heavy and too big. After the first day I'm n love. Major upgrade fr my s6 edge lol. I love love love it.
So far working great, camera is fantastic for me with shaky hands, It is a faster camera, with OIS and it works. Additional storage by adding a micro SD is a big plus. Battery holds up great.
