I just realised that default themes makes the phone more faster, but how long can i use default themes, omg this is not iPhone,will switch occasionally... again, aways on reduces battery juice, not that much though

CHESTER48:

based on real life experience, I play nba 2k17 with my s6 and it stays for 2hours highest..on a single charge,with mobile network on

but to browse and watch videos with 3g it 3hours.

note I used the smg920i









S6 had shit battery life compared to s5 na.
Re: Samsung Galaxy S8, My Real Life Review After 10 Days by ip2121918021(m): 5:16am On May 24, 2017
So I've had the s8 now for - I believe ~5 days now and on the contrary to what I said, I's the worst phone in the universe.

I went to my bathroom to take a small portable s.hit and normally I don't touch the toilet seat with my hands, I was wearing big a.ss 3/4 shorts with large pockets when I raised my feet to bring the seat down. I just heard kpa, the s8 fell like 40 inches and It cracked on both sides. I borrowed money to buy this phone o, school fees money :/

The iris scanner isn't that fast like CHESTER48 said, I mean besides unlocking my phone before I can put my hands on the fingerprint sensor and stopping my dorm roommate from unlocking my phone with my fingers while I'm asleep, lmao he can't raise my eyelids to make me unlock the phone na grin, what else is it for?

Samsung called it an iris scanner o, nothing more. they didn't say it's for counting hair on head, What else iris scanner dey do abeg tell me :/

CHESTER48:
Who need iris scanner? Fingerprint,is m secured and faster

even the heart rate sensor, like he said:

CHESTER48:
How many time have you used th heart rate sensor. Checked your heart rate

It's not useful, I mean besides used to take a selfie comfortably when touched and being used for what it is (A MOTHERFUCKING FINGERPRINT SENSOR), I've checked my heart rate like six times, like this reddit user said The Heart Rate sensor is very accurate https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyS7/comments/4fdhep/the_heart_rate_monitor_is_very_accurate/

So instead of checking my heart rate on my phone, I prefer going to the hospital to just take heart rate test and HIV test altogether

CHESTER48:
64gb will handle what ever you need on the phone.need expanda get a hard disk not even sd card

Even the sd card space is useless, 64gb like on the xiaomi is enough, what do I need sd card for?, I moved photos from my oneplus to the s8 nd I've already used 24gb in only five days, so why sdcard go necessary when I already have 64gb internal storage (64gb Phones don't come with 64gb free Dass) , I'll just delete some pictures instead of buying an sdcard when the low storage space notification comes up jare.


Even the resolution and display per density

CHESTER48:
Display per density you won't notice with your individual eyes.so they are both high


very useless, why I go need the best HDR screen on any smartphone when I can just by HDR 4k TV for 500k in shoprite or cash & carry. waste of money, Instead of buying the s8 just buy TV if you want quality jare.

CHESTER48:
Besides wetin Dem dey use benchmark do,when in real life,the lower benchmarks phones are faster

Looks like I'm going back to My Galaxy S(1) Captivate, who benchmarks epp grin



CHESTER48:
fast with a custom ROM you can't change it.a custom ROM is just a ui and nothing else.custom ROM has nothing with ram,or processor because they are embedded on th phine

I don't know how to argue this one, my brain don burst here :/

CHESTER48:
5.8 inch.sorry mobile phones ar made for one hand operation


5.8inches screen and the phone is still smaller than the xiaomi, why? does it make sense, how am I supposed to show off my screen when only screen big and phone no big, ladies don't carry ruler around undecided angry

CHESTER48:
Besides how many time have your phone fallen inside water?all these ain't relevant. Cause when I had s5 it never touched water till the screen broke so?


What is the water proofing for?, just gimmick, it's only for idiots who want to show off in the club by washing their phone in wine or people who want to use their phone while it's raining mildly or drizzling outside (why would you want to use your phone outside, if thunder nab you), or people with wet hands - maybe working in the kitchen and don't have to dry their hands everytime. (why would you have wet hands if you're working in the kitchen, it's a kitchen not a swimming pool)




CHESTER48:
These are the basic things others such as fingerprint water resistant, splash resistance, dust,shock,4k video,slow motion,raw camera etc are all features and thus are not really relevant.although it been widely used



Fingerprint isn't necessary, so lagos robbers will cut my finger abi, no thank you samsung.

What do I need 4k video for when I can buy camcorder?, same for slow motion, splash resistance for what? didn't they teach us in primary school not to put liquid close to machinery, splash resistance is only for people with autism, normal people can't accidentally splash liquid on their phone, they have working brains and steady hands na mistakes can't happen.

Instead of 4k and 960fps slow motion camera just buy the 1000fps 4k camera for $140k almost 53million naira: http://www.blackflag-tv.com/high-speed-camera-hire/?gclid=CjwKEAjwu4_JBRDpgs2RwsCbt1MSJABOY8aniNdChR6Wq3HhtmD0_mwa0MH0bcYa41RszjLTDX7HAxoCI-rw_wcB#Phantom-Flex-4K-Hire you can save money this way and get an extra 40fps compared to the s8's 960fps

so my point is if you want the best, just buy 500k TV for screen quality and 53million naira camera for slow motion 4k recording. Infact just buy only landline phone, if you wan browse, buy modem and laptop, if you wan play music buy home theatre, if you need gps go buy those garmin GPS/Satnav handheld devices, if you wan read news go hire vendor with better keke abeg, google maps? when I can ask for directions :/, online radio, for what? aboki_ will show you how it's done. ebook? just buy only book what is the e for? gimmick!.

CHESTER48 you be correct nigga!

Just save your money and buy the oneplus 3 or xiaomi

[s]Sarcasm - I didn't break my phone grin[/s] This guy knows the s8 has all these things, yet he's calling them irrelevant, even called fingerprint sensors irrelevant, head phone jack wey s8 get and xiaomi nor get irrelevant too abi?, whereas if the xiaomi has all these other features, he for deaf us. buy the xiaomi or s8 make we hear word ol boy! and stop watching nonsense youtube videos, why the other guys dey argue with you I nor sabi, you nor get mouth for this place grin

What is really happening to folks these days? 295k for a piece of garbage ain't worth it at all. As far as that phone with a pricetag of 295k or whatever, cannot cough out double or tripple dat amt of money, dat piece of shit is as good as useless. Mind you i can buy 3 of those without breaking a sweat.
Bottomline- e no worth am.

I got this Smartphone on same day it was launched in Nigeria...

Remember how i paid 190k on Galaxy S6 and nairaland wanted to skin me alive because i spent that kind of amount on a smartphone, well is worth it if you have the money and by God's grace have source of income.. Here is the quick story , i used the S6 almost 2 years, sold it ending 2016 in amount of 95k, bought Gioonee M5 71k to wait for the S8(waited almost 5 months for this phone) and still have 24k on hand after almost using the phone for a year and some many months (the phone even have a cracked screen and poor battery thats why i sold it) you can check the link i explained it ( https://www.nairaland.com/2495783/update-after-3-months-use#36515588 ) bottomline; Samsung and iphone have a huge advantage of resale value, even if i consider Iphones as a overpriced crap which add no value except show off crew, that's why web dictionary gave them "sheeple"

So, i sold the M5 2 days ago 48K and got the S8 295k on May 5th, because dollar was low, it was supposed to start around 350k... Enough of the ranting... let's get down to business... ask me anything about the S8 and i will respond..




Lemme summarise this beast; Its has the fastest processor on any android phone, leave what u see on the paper, its real, best camera in the market, tho it still confuses reviewers between Google Pixel and S8 which pack a better camera,the UI and notification system on S8 is perfect(top notch), it can't get any better currently,built is solid but expect a crack from high drops on flat land, that's why u need a case or Dbrand skin, the battery is good, better than S6 and S7 battery, even better on S8plus,it comfortably get u the whole day on standard use(Thanks to Samsung i got starter pack which i found fast Powerbank charger and case with screen guard inside) its small on hand but has a very large screen in the eye,crazy right, thanks to no bezels.. Water resistant is cool, tested it twice. charges faster than usain bolt...
bro please I know the theme on your s8?
