these are the top five reasons not to buy the Galaxy s8 so samsung's newest phone is up for pre-order and you're wondering if you should get it as an aside we will have another top five on why you should buy the SH but right now let's talk about the reasons to hold off at number five paranoia the Samsung Galaxy s8 is Samsung's first major phone since the note 7 debacle in case you somehow did not know Samsung had to recall the note 7 twice last year due to overheating batteries samsung says it has a new eight point test to ensure battery safety off new phones if you're the paranoid type you might want to wait on the s8 for a little bit and number four glass the design of the s8 is beautiful but can it survive a clumsy person with both s8 models adopting samsung's infinity display and with thin bezels on the bottom and top the s8 might not be able to handle drops as well as a more traditional phone maybe the s8 is tougher than it looks however if you're a klutz maybe wait to see how it handles drop tests and number three Samsung Android you get a Samsung Android phone you get Samsung's customized version of Android along with a bunch of apps you may never use if you like pure Android you're in the wrong place also that customized version of Android means operating system updates could be delayed and number two Bixby is not ready Bixby might be amazing in the future Samsung has said Bixby home vision and reminders will be available at launch however boys from Seoul will not be ready when the device shipped to stores on April 21st so while Samsung has dedicated a button to its new assistant you might want to wait on buying the s8 if you think big speed will change your life right away and at number one the fingerprint sensor the sensor is now on the back of the galaxy s phone why is this an issue it's located right next to the rear camera so reaching for the sensor may not feel natural at all other phone makers placed their rear fingerprint sensors within reach like Google with its pixel phones also the s8 sensor just invites smudges on your camera if you you might be wondering why we do these types of top fives personally I like them to stop a potential impulse buy since I shouldn't be spending a lot of money anyway let me know if you're getting an s8 I'm at is on Twitter I'll see you online
