Ian Wallis Yeah I got the S7 Edge was replacement... a few months later bang Coral blue... I was like... what? 😒😡💩... but its OK... my one and only Coral Blue was my Note 7 R.I.P. (rest in pieces)... I wish Samsung made RoseGold or Amethyst or Teal... those would be a amazing... or even Orchid or Indigo... man that should be the new color ... gray is boring now... Gold is still OK but Black is dead... its time to look @ other cool colors
I would not complain about the s8 facial recognition technology being a joke it's not like someone will be carrying a picture of you trying to get into your phone. especially someone you don't know.
great review as usual. Regarding facial recognition I have a question and a possible experiment and in review for you. Okay, they say facial recognition can be defeated with a photo. So, how about if you make a face that cannot be duplicated and nobody else has a photo of it. For instance, close one eye and squint, in a way that can be easily replicated every time. If that works, the phone recognizes you but no one has a photo of that exact face.
Arnob Roy That's right! If I refrain from buying the S8 plus it will be because of the darn Bixby button and the 3500 mah battery as compared to my 3600 mah battery on my edge.
Arnob Roy till Galaxy Note 8 drops... it will steal S8+'s Thunder but hey... its still in the family so its a Win Win for Samsung... can't wait for the GN8
Arnob Roy had the option to return my s7 edge and get the s8 test it for about a week than returned it.. Hate the fingerprint scanner emplacement.. I'll wait for the note 8 but overall it's still a beautiful device +a great performer....
I just purchased the S7 Edge over the S8 because I like having a physical button on the front and the price gap is too much for a very similar phones. I gotta say this is the best phone I ever had, it's just awesome.
This was a great comparison of the 2 products with the added benefit of an understandable, clear presentation that was slow enough to easily follow! Thanks.
great video I've been a galaxy user for years and love them ur tips are very useful, please keep us informed at all times of all tips and new tricks you find for the galaxy s8+ 👍👍
Thank you for this vid. Really nice and unbiased in my opinion. Looking at (a still image at) 13:35, I find the S7 looking more beautiful than the S8. Especially with just the one physical button and in Gold. I'm seriously considering getting the S7 edge in gold...coming from the HTC M8. The only thing holding me back is having the M8 boomsound speakers and S7 not comparing in any way with this...
+sakitech I'm waiting for the *Note 8* to see what it has to offer (as long as there are no battery issues). I've never owned a Samsung smartphone and really considering if the S8+ is really worth it. I'm also looking forward to seeing what the *Pixel 2* and *OnePlus 5* has to offer.
I still have my Galaxy S5, and I'm looking to upgrade to either the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge or the Galaxy S8 or S8+. Which phone should I upgrade to if I'm going to get a new Samsung Galaxy phone from 2016 - 2017.
Josef Bailey i have a iphone6 and debating s7 edge or s8 plus as the 8 is smaller than the edge, think i want the s8 plus just on screen size compared to the 7edge
U forgot Bluetooth 5.0 and and it's the first Gigabit phone on T-MOBILE ... so it will be the first phone to get close to 1Gbps download... whenever T mobiles deploys it... oh and also is HPUE enabled... not even professional reviewers get all the info... 😁...
do you think the 8+ is too big of a size jump from the s7edge ? I want the bigger battery but I would have to change the size the standard s8 feels like it's a little to narrow for me too hold it slipped easily however the + was a tad large but I felt more like it was easier to hold . I just want other opinions for size
Ebonygem1 Yeap u should've pre order... u would've had the Gear VR for free ($100 Value) ... plus the nice headphones... so if u think about it the phone wouldn't really cost $850...
You forgot to mention, even tho the S8 got a bigger screen, it crops the videos that are not 18:9 ratio. So we lose details up and down of the video. S7 Edge wins there too, in my opinion.
If you want an exynos 8890 s7 edge, the sd 835 doesnt really give you a big performance boost, both are octa core and the 8890 can easily match the 8895 which is faster than the 835. Tbh for Canadian market the only thing the s8+ has is the bigger screen, BT 5.0 and usb-c. But since the usb-c is only at 2.0 speed like the s7 edge its really not that big of a bump...but still the s8+ is soo tempting :(
You should have put black S7E to the test as it looks more seamless than other versions of this phone. Gold one enhances the biggest difference (screen), which, I guess, could be the reason you have chosen this one, but it gives an impression you wanted to S7E look more dated than it really is. Make no mistake, as a happy owner of S7E I think S8 Plus looks much better, so no bias here. It's that the colours make a huge difference, from smartphones to cars, when it comes to the looks.
I have an lg g3 right now. I can upgrade and was going to get the s7 edge but now I want the s8. I have small hands so I don't want a phone as big as the s8 plus.
I am very happy about my S7 Edge, its an amzing overall phone, i cant complain at all. :) The S8+ seems way too big for me, ill stay with my phone until its broken
My S7 Edge died almost a month ago, and i've been recently informed that it cannot be fixed. So i have the choice between a new S7 Edge, or to pay the price difference and get the S8 / S8+ Now normally this would be a no-brainer for me. However i had the S7 Edge for about 5-6 months before it died, and i just fell in love with it... I'm talking like head over heels. So i'm kinda torn right now. I mean sure the S8 / S8+ is a bit better, and the display looks nice, but to me the S7 is the best looking phone out there (including the S8), and the biggest drawback of the fingerprint scanner for me, is the location, i loved being able to unlock my phone while it was lying flat, and me not needing to pick it up in order to do so. So could someone help me with the decision? I mean at best they'll give me an offer of around 75-150 euros (S8 / S8+), and at worst 150-250 euros (S8 / S8+). My question is, well... is it worth spending around 200 euros, for the S8 or S8+ or should i just get a new S7 Edge for free?
i have s7edge bought last month ago i chose s7edge over s8+ bcoz design of s7edge loks beter than s8+ agreee or diagree it loks lyk s8+ is not proportion interms of size
MrBryan30 I would. I own the S7 edge and I got my mom the S5 last year for Mother's Day. She really likes her S5 coming from an Galaxy S mini and I had the S4 prior to my S7 edge. I have not been disappointed in the S7 edge at all.
Background on video playback shots are very bad. That wall colors are disturbing me :). I know you put a lot of efforts to make this video. Final results is pretty average, when comparing your effort. So please keep an eye on background objects and its colors :)
You are a hypocrite and juggler. The S7 edge screen is way better than what you show people . You don't use the video enhancer and you reduce the brightness and colors on the S7 edge. What a shame
+Abdullah Al-Saqaf I usually like my viewers, but idiots like you deserve a ban. Everything you said is incorrect so your comment is absolutely worthless.
Nobody's stopping anyone from buying an expensive phone. I have used both Galaxy S7 and OnePlus 3t. Except the camera, OnePlus 3t is quite good when compared to my S7. Nowadays you don't really have to spend more than 600 dollars, even if you have money. That's just my opinion.
Michael Arrington iphone trash overpriced pieces of shit, Samsung or other android phones have way more features, and Samsung has an overall better design than shitphone
purchased s7 edge coral blue as I prefer the concept. probably best all round phone ever made. A classic. great review.
Ian Wallis I agree. it's the same reason why I won't get rid of my 2 S7 edge' s.
Ian Wallis Yeah I got the S7 Edge was replacement... a few months later bang Coral blue... I was like... what? 😒😡💩... but its OK... my one and only Coral Blue was my Note 7 R.I.P. (rest in pieces)...

SkyKingKona Good question.
SkyKingKona Very intelligent. Good idea!
S8 & s8+ are good. but bixby or samsung desk is not that essential for me.
S7 edge is perfect 👌👌
Arnob Roy That's right! If I refrain from buying the S8 plus it will be because of the darn Bixby button and the 3500 mah battery as compared to my 3600 mah battery on my edge.

calvin tanner hey what did you end up getting 1 year later?
Good job. Thanks ... just waiting for my Galaxy S8+
Rich Marsh pls what about the battery life of S8 plus can the battery last me full days in heavy use am waiting for you're reply
Great video .. I have an iPhone 6s Plus and want the s7 edge .. I've done enough research on the s7 edge to know that it would be a great switch
Josef Bailey i have a iphone6 and debating s7 edge or s8 plus as the 8 is smaller than the edge, think i want the s8 plus just on screen size compared to the 7edge

My exynos s7 edge got a higher score than the s8....6012 on the multi-core and 1975 on the single-core. That snapdragon sucks.
do you think the 8+ is too big of a size jump from the s7edge ? I want the bigger battery but I would have to change the size the standard s8 feels like it's a little to narrow for me too hold it slipped easily however the + was a tad large but I felt more like it was easier to hold .

I upgraded to the S8+ for the bigger screen. I so glad I did
nice explaination
Im gonna take your suggession.
I'm not going to upgrade my s7 edge to s8 plus or s8. thank you.
I'm so torn. S6 is dying. I have Att Next, so considering the S7 edge just because of price. But I was in the store today and the S8+ is no joke.
+Ebonygem1 If you have an S6, you must upgrade to S8, unless price is a big deal.
Ebonygem1 there is no need to upgrade to the s8 m8 just get something different like iphone
Ebonygem1 Yeap u should've pre order... u would've had the Gear VR for free ($100 Value) ... plus the nice headphones... so if u think about it the phone wouldn't really cost $850...
S8 &S8 + 😙😙

Best ever review....
good very good review
I'm upgrading from an S5 and I just can't decide which one I should get.
I have an lg g3 right now. I can upgrade and was going to get the s7 edge but now I want the s8. I have small hands so I don't want a phone as big as the s8 plus.
s7 edge is perfect for me

Are you sure that s7 edge have a quad core processor?
if you had the exynos version of s7 edge the battery life would be significantly better and it wouldve been alot faster than the snapdragon variant
should I buy s7 edge or upgrade to s8 plus
I love Sakitec.
S7 exynos variant is still faster than sd835 of s8!
My s7 score 6000 in multicore and 2000 in single core while s8 struggling to reach 6000
I really hate that at&t logo on the back of the phone
Doesn't S7 Edge also has also Octa-Core? That is what I thought...
i have s7edge bought last month ago i chose s7edge over s8+ bcoz design of s7edge loks beter than s8+ agreee or diagree it loks lyk s8+ is not proportion interms of size
thinking about up grading to s7edge from s5
MrBryan30 I would. I own the S7 edge and I got my mom the S5 last year for Mother's Day. She really likes her S5 coming from an Galaxy S mini and I had the S4 prior to my S7 edge. I have not been disappointed in the S7 edge at all.
Still rocking my note 5....
The Galaxy S7 Edge originally came with Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow then was upgrade to Android 7.0 Nougat just saying.g he forgot
bro do ur work properly. S7edge also has Octa core
Big thank papa
Yes, upgrade. Simple. Its bigger, has c type charger. No physical button. There.
S8 and s8 Plus definitely
only phone better then the s7 edge was the note 7..better to wait for a note 8 to release
My s7 edge works well until now
Hi
No need to watch. s8 is way better coming from a man who had s7 edge
s7 edge the best of all samsung phones
exynos s7 is much better than sd 820. Exynos s7 and s8 are very close. The s8 is Only 7% better than the s7.
you're wrong the s7 edge is octacore lol check it out dude.!
S8 doesn't comes whith AKG earphones!!!
Background on video playback shots are very bad. That wall colors are disturbing me :). I know you put a lot of efforts to make this video. Final results is pretty average, when comparing your effort. So please keep an eye on background objects and its colors :)
One thing that I notice on your video is that the S8's screen is much more red than the S7's
Can you do a video comparing S8 vs iphone 7 plus
Im goin from the samsung g3 to the s7 edge so ya anythin is better haha
Hmm that S8 screen is looking VERY red!
GIVE THE S 7
💪💪💪
You are a hypocrite and juggler. The S7 edge screen is way better than what you show people . You don't use the video enhancer and you reduce the brightness and colors on the S7 edge. What a shame
+Abdullah Al-Saqaf I usually like my viewers, but idiots like you deserve a ban. Everything you said is incorrect so your comment is absolutely worthless.
sakitech Sir, as a viewer, I'd like to see the truth
+Abdullah Al-Saqaf The truth is, you spoke out of your ass.
sakitech No wonder why your channel is unsuccessful and useless. Because of your ass mouth
I'm going for S7+
S7 edge is Best....
s7 is not quad core s7 also octa core.. WTF is this video? bias!
no phone is worth paying more than 600 dollars.
Navneet Singh It isn't worth 600$ to you but if you have a higher income then 600$ becomes much smaller percent of total money.
Navneet Singh Well unless u can afford it then u can buy it... I mean I can just save 2 weeks and buy the phone...
Remington Rojas exactly...
Nobody's stopping anyone from buying an expensive phone.
I have used both Galaxy S7 and OnePlus 3t. Except the camera, OnePlus 3t is quite good when compared to my S7.
Nowadays you don't really have to spend more than 600 dollars, even if you have money.
That's just my opinion.
Samsung phone are trash iPhone is better
Michael Arrington iphone trash overpriced pieces of shit, Samsung or other android phones have way more features, and Samsung has an overall better design than shitphone
Michael Arrington you have too much time on your hands to be on every s8 video
Galaxy S6 vs s8 please do this video
+Angel Balbuena I'll be honest, if you upgrade from the S6 to S8, you will win.
Angel Balbuena S6 owners should upgrade to the s8 or s7 edge !
thank you
