Galaxy s8 you've probably heard about it it's been about two months since our review actually hit and I bought a galaxy a plus for Verizon for myself and in between testing of their phones it's been my daily driver for almost every day or that eight week period if you watch our new show review you'll know I really loved the phone but they can changed a little bit since then so some general thoughts about the galaxy I say first I'm still in love with the design the screen still looks like a sticker to me it does even look like a real screen Samsung's technology is absolutely awesome and the review I said I didn't mind it an outdoor sunlight the more I used in outdoor sunlight the more I took it to the park to try to take pictures the more I was outside the less awesome the screen got in direct sun left turn the brightness up to a hundred percent you get a warning from Samsung and telling you not to do that and this one gets incredibly warm I just keep my brightness around 50% so in direct sunlight it has not been as good as my initial sort of first week impressions with the device so bear that in mind also not as good initial ethought battery life typically getting through a full day now it's like 20% down about five ten percent of my initial review perhaps I'm using it a little bit more perhaps I have more apps open in the background I don't have my brightness set to serve auto brightness I keep it again at 50% I just like it there I can get through a full day no problem but still not as strong as initially thought the other little knock on this phone and I'm a big wireless charging guy and before Yelp man oh it's not Wireless you gotta plug the the cheap pad and I understand that Wireless for the phone phone goes on it the contact point for the phone really small and oftentimes if I put it down I turn the phone off I move it a little bit sir my phone background the more I notice it wouldn't have been fully charged so small annoyance is there the last thing that still annoys me is the fingerprint reader and I read the comments our review it was overwhelming John's put a case on it and you can find a location I don't like to have a case on this phone I loved where this one feels the designer for me is part of the appeal of the device I feel like you lose that with the case so let's get the SI plus the larger version I don't think I've ever used the fingerprint redrafted you may be to like login to some apps but that is essentially it have anything the retinal scanning in the face getting come locket and seems to be working pretty well those are negatives those things that have changed I still love this phone Samsung pay for me seems like magic when I use it I love the fact that little may fit out a magnetic field for swipe cards tap it I love the way the phone feels a design quick charger has been incredibly awesome so my go-to camera taking pictures and my kids it's my go-to video camera taking videos of swim lessons or anything that I'm doing I've even used it at events I even maybe clicked it to Apple's WWDC and take pictures on the open and I got some dirty looks from certain company employees but the camera is absolutely awesome and there's a lot of reasons still want to buy this phone I've never had any speed issues the phone is so incredibly fast I know like you guys may be a little bit worried it only had four gigs of RAM but it's still quite a bit no performance issues I'm able to get through and to get through of use less split screen multitasking and it's still been really smooth I don't mind the change of themes like main care to mind the on-screen button but have a phone that looks this good that's this pin that's powerful and he'll has a headphone jack which I've used quite a bit it's really nice to have I could go back two months I would still spy the phone again it is a huge onslaught coming of competition you've got the essential phone coming you've got whatever Apple is going to do next coming you've got the old GB 32 one plus five there's a lot of competition for this premier smartphone dollar I really like the phone and also I have not once used Nikki I have zero point zero use for it and that unnecessary button I know you can remap it just haven't done it but the moral being I still love this phone I would buy it again in a heartbeat still a fingerprint magnet I wish it came in different colours in the US but I love this device apart of my favorite phone that ever tested perhaps aside from the Galaxy Note 7 and the iPhone 6 plus also my favorite phones I've ever used it's a great device if you want to buy a phone and the price and it going to turn you off really look at the fate and na+ I don't think they're disappointed so immoral two months in things have changed a little bit so I like to do the revisited videos generally in a week double use test devices it is a good enough time to get a broad sample of the product but the more you use it obviously things can change an opinion to change so what are your opinions on the film did you buy one as your battery life gotten a little bit worse since you bought it is your phone get really warm when you're doing you know mobile tethering like like mine does you wish you bought something different let me know leave a comments down below this video a thumbs up if you like to be visited views we'll keep doing them the next time genre injured from TechnoBuffalo so we're about to hit upload on this video but I got something to add went on a bit of a family vacation to Las Vegas when I took my Galaxy s8 plus with me I wear some shorts with a bit of a narrow pocket and the phone fell out I was sitting down and breakfast screen cracked and knots like a little bit of cracking it was a giant crack almost the whole upper left part of the screen got destroyed and I was really sad I just mentioned that I thought it was pretty durable I know any phone can crack depending on on how it happens but I was bummed actually it's a first screen that I've cracked that I can remember so repair process there's a little bit interesting you don't have like Apple stores but there is a Samsung store actually in LA we take the phone and get it repaired almost same day so I did that dropped it off on a Friday night picked it up on Monday but it would have been available later on that night I tried calling Samsung and it gave me a prepaid label to send the phone back and we were taking a few days to get it done so bear that in mind if you want to pick up a Samsung device lives are one of those stores it's really nice to have as well and the repair cost came out to be about 220 dollars after taxes so with a tough tough pill to swallow I'm not through sure how I stand on the break ability durability and not going to crack it of the Galaxy s8 and s8 plus now I know I should put a case on it with my own dumbass fault I'm still not sure I'm going to pick case on it which is also still my fault when I break it again maybe I'll get insurance plan
