Here is my feedback based on my experience with this phone so far:
CONS: - Severely overpriced - Different charging tip, therefore no longer able to use micro USB chargers. ALSO, there was no charging adapter, which should've come with the phone, at least the first generation of this change. - No physical HOME button (I loved this feature on the previous Samsung phones) - EDGE screen has limitations with the inability to expand. I regularly used the Quick Menu option on the Note4 (multiple times a day) which had the ability to be modified and expanded. The new EDGE Apps screen has a maximum of 10 apps that can be added - this is unreasonable and inefficient. I'm already having issues multi-tasking with this phone and it's been less one week! - When viewing a contact, must click multiple times to view the contact details. This change was absolutely illogical. - No longer able to get to the phone keypad from the Contacts. - Waterfall edge screen causes issues when handling and typing. The small lip that was on previous phones created a good buffer. I wish I had the option to get a phone without this edge screen. - Bixby was not released yet the phone price remained the same. - Fingerprint scanner is adjacent to the camera lens on the back of the phone, how does this make sense??? The scanner should've been on the front for ease of use without impacting other features and functions.
PROS: - Slick design - Beautiful and vibrant screen - Large internal capacity, 64GB - SD card slot - Earphone jack
Thank you.
Pros: Bright display, beautiful screen and colors, 64gb, sd card slot, earphone jack
Cons: edge app screen limitations, removal of 'quick menu', price, different charging type, removal of physical 'home' button, unable to remove battery/open back panel, bixby not ready with this release, waterfall phone edge
I've had my S8+ for a week now. It's spelled the end of battery anxiety. I regularly close out the day with 50 or 60% remaining charge which is a huge improvement from my S7. Great screen, good usability. Excellent switching from previous models (I just switched my boss from iPhone and that was also simple). Really it's hard to fault the S8+. It's pricey but you definitely get what you pay for. With a 256GB memory card added in I can have all of my content on board wherever I go. The AKG headphones bundled in also have excellent sound quality. The only thing I'm not mad about are the two different materials on the cable. It's fabric most of the way but old school rubber to the earpieces.
I have had the Galaxy S4 Active, S6, and now the S8+! They just keep getting better, faster, and more capable. Far better than anything else out there. I preordered 3 S8s the day that they were first available.
This phone is awesome love the big screen, the phone is snappy fast, love the look its a little bigger then phones iv had in the passed but you get used to it pretty fast, iv had the galaxy s8+ for about 5 days now and I am really starting to like it I would highly recommend the gs8+ for any android/Samsung fan out there.
