This gentleman is so good at his job that I just watched a 12 minutes video and it felt like a 2 minute video. Great job, from the content all the way to editing. Clean, refreshing and eloquent style. 5 out of 5 stars.
I could probably get used the the position, however i still prefer the sensor on the front. Do you have a case on the S8 ? Does it take away the great looks of the phone ?
Missmethinksalot1 I've had one since launch and it's amazing. Coming from the v20, I thought I would be losing functionality with glance-able info when the screen is off, but nope AoD is awesome and even more functional, with full media control, etc. I thought I would be losing the added functionality of the second display in using the app shortcuts and contact shortcuts to really clean up my setup, but nope you get all that and more with edge display. I really thought I'd miss the replaceable battery, but that was just because my v20 died so fast I NEEDED to walk around with two batteries! With the s8 plus, the battery has absolutely blown me away. I'm a heavy user, lots of music and games and TH-cam and Bluetooth and GPS, and I often get over 6 hours. Also fast charge is way more noticable when that charge lasts significantly longer. BT 5.0 is great. The camera is amazing. The screen is amazing. Bixby is absolute garbage though, I have it disabled.... btw, really loved my v20, just been blown away with the s8.
the front part of S8 is like, something from the future.Half the month of October is done and still no phone in the market that looks better than this damn Galaxy S8
John The Note 8 cause it got that visor look with dual camera and the rounded edges make it hard the adore the s8/s7 S7 for example was very very painful to say good-looking .The edges were excessively curved and the ICONS .God forbid.Something out of kids school book for learning pictures. That's so cartoonish although I hate it less now but it's still UGLY AS HELL. Note looks more classy and never ever disliked it until now. In love with XZ Premium despite the big Bezels.Guess I have a fetish for sharp edges !
Had my S8 through to 2021. The battery was actually still okay on mine (could go through a whole day on one charge if I was just internet browsing). I could have easily kept it for another year but I really wanted something that had a good stylus pen support.
I still have my S8+ in 2021, and even though it was sent by my uncle, (which he used the phone a decent amount) it's still a beast. Absolutely love the performance. The only problem I have with it is battery life, though the charger that comes with the phone is amazing! Way better than the charger I got with my Motorola phone. I think I'll upgrade by November, I have my eyes on the Google pixel 6, the Iphone 11 the MI 11T, and the Moto G100. Maybe I'll even buy a better Samsung phone, as they look amazing from what I've seen with the Galaxy S8+.
OMG, you improve every video even though your cinematography skills are top notch. It's amazing how you go over the top and shoot in the highest resolution possible just because you can. To get back to the subject of the video, the galaxy S8 is a truly amazing phone and you illustrate this perfectly while also addressing that the S8 isn't perfect, and still has its flaws. Keep up the great work creating some of the best, if not the best, quality videos on youtube.
Still rocking it in 2020. It does 100% the things I need it to do, even if I'm a power user. Waiting for Samsung to step it up and make a revolutionary phone or one that is so superior I can consider switching!
My battery is getting really bad. I'm thinking about getting the S20FE 5g. I'd like to get a Note 20 Ultra, but it's too expensive and just a scam when you're living in Europe.
DKHD It was Available with Samsung for the S8 (Its Called Synaptics Something) but as of now it was Sick Slow,So Instead of Compromising on Speed Samsung Added the Traditional Scanner
I think samsung wanted to use the Synaptics FS9100 which can read fingerprints even when 1mm under glass. But Synaptics didn't make it. They plan mass production of those sensors in Q2, which is obviously late for S8. Pretty sure Note 8 will use it.
Watching on my S8, still works aweosemly, no issues whatsoever with it, if you didn't know it is 5 years old product you could say it is from this year.
Me too, I'm very happy with mine! I kind of want to buy a new phone, but I won't do it before I have a reason to, the battery life is still acceptable and everything works perfectly still. Even still get regular system updates. But it starting to become a little sluggish sometimes, probably should factory reset it or something, but I'm too lazy for that..
when my dad first got this phone back in 2017, i realized just how beautiful the build was. When he gave that S8 to me in 2019 as a replacement to my Note Edge, I again realized how beautiful the phone was. Even in 2020, even though I upgraded to the S10, the S8 still looks beautiful. Definitely one of the best looking phones of all time.
Michael yeah I don't mind it. I've had my phone for a few weeks now and I gave the other unlock options a chance for like one day. The fingerprint scanner is just so much quicker, especially for someone like me that keeps their AOD activated. I use this phone generally with two hands because I have small hands, but I don't need to when I unlock my phone. There are setting in the phone that are available for those that MUST have one handed use.
CY RB lmao! u should check the next video that unbox therapy made! or even if u watch the end of that video he says that THIS PHONE DOESN'T SUCK AT ALL
Not only does he get phones early, he gets skins too? I preordered two skins from two different manufacturers a month ago and they haven't even shipped them yet. I get my S8 tomorrow and don't have protection.
i dont get this enthusiasm with skins. why buy a skin when u could get a case that protects your phone way better i mean come on its an expensive phone ik i dont want to buy another one if the screen cracks.
CassidyOG Yea but u can get cases that don't add that much bulk like I have the Rugged Armor case for my nexus 6p and it feels great in the hands. Plus it has a lip going above the screen so it protects the screen as well.
Yes but they still add bulk. No matter how thin the case is it just cant match a skin. The design gets lost with most cases, but skins can preserve or even enhance the design of the phone.
This phone is the most reliable phone I have ever used, and I would dare to say the one with the most premium look. I had used it for five years until buying the S23 Ultra this year - it is performing well until now. I was happier getting the S8 than what I feel now about the S23. I mean grab both phones in your hands, you have to admit that S8 when released in 2017, was way ahead of its time.
It’s not 3D Touch. Samsung wasn’t able to put 3 levels of sensitivity units screen like Apple. It was only able to put 1. They tried to copy apples innovation but failed.
Sheep - Talk, Tech und Mehr team iPhone here 7 Plus :p don't hate Samsung. Just disappointed in them cuz their phones don't live for very long. Software updates are horrible. Speed keeps going down and getting slower
I find your impression about the fingerprint reader positioning very strange! I just received my Galaxy S8 yesterday. When I hold it in my not-so-big hand in a normal way, the fingerprint reader is right under the tip of my index finger. Actually, it would be so awkward if it was in the center and lower. Some people say you may put your finger over the camera and make it dirty, that's invalid too. 1. Don't forget about muscle memory, it will become second nature in a week. 2. Cellphone lenses are already dirty (in comparison to what we expect from a camera), because they don't have protection and are exposed to direct touch, so they should be cleaned before shooting serious photos, regardless of what the phone is. 3. I think cellphone cases (which many people use) will help us distinguishing fingerprint reader a little bit better, and/or protecting the lens from being touch. I think the only valid complain would be from left-handed users. And finally, don't forget it has iris scanner!
Aaaand the TH-cam algorithm brought me back to this wonderful device after all those years. Although I personally owned the S8 instead of the S8 Plus, but still... I loved it! Wishing you all a wonderful day!
Man i miss my s8. It was my introduction to Android. It was so beautiful. I have s22 ultra now, it's like a totally different world. Life was so much different back in s8 day
Erik Johann Riconalla go for it. I had an iPhone 5s and switched over, and have owned iPhones since 2010. The Ui can be as simple as iOS or more complex if you desire. The edge display is really useful as you can keep apps you use often there at the side. The screen is fantastic and blows any iPhone out of the water (although the iPhone x screen is a bit closer) the apps available are pretty much the same as iOS.
Erik Johann Riconalla Hell yeah man. Like my buddy below said. The UI can be as simple as apple or more complex if you prefer. It’s one of those phones that just feels great in the hand. It’s a blast and that display is to die for. Getting it soon myself
3 years later, my S8 is still going strong! :) Definitely was way ahead of its time back in 2017; it hardly looks out of place with the other modern-day smartphones.
March 2022 and im still rocking my july 2018 S8 phone , its great really except for the battery life. It really amazes me that its never slow or laggy and all apps still work perfectly fine on it. Too bad im buying a new device in afew months and will put my champion S8 to rest, you served me well old guy.
Allen Tom Yeah that's what I am going to do too, the note 8 will have the fingerprint scanner on the front again and the s-pen is always a nice extra feature
Alejandro Gllrd I doubt the fingerprint sensor will be on the front, but rather in the middle of the back, like the pixel. Putting it in the front ruins everything they just did. I bought the S8, it wasn't worth the wait for the note and there's nothing wrong with the S8 that seriously bothers me.
I have an s8 and feel like the curved edges are gimmicky and you sacrifice protection in a case because the sides of the cases dive down below the surface of the glass leaving it open for impact
Ofcourse they are vulnerable BUT i have used s8 for a while and from what i experienced they gives awesome in hand feel and experience due to curve edges
Jason Bushland - The curve isn't necessarily made for function, it is made for the feel. I held the regular S8 and it feels phenomenal, especially with how narrow it is, it certainly feels better than the V30 I have, but I had my reasons to prefer the V30.
Please, guys, let's all take a moment to appreciate the low-key, taken for granted, amazing music that he spoils us with every video. That's so amazing dude, the quality of these videos are out of this world and it's what sets you apart from other tech channels.
Great video as always, been a fan for years. S8 is a real beauty. I own a S6 edge+, still runs flawlessly but this new S8 is so tempting!! also samsung has had the best smartphone displays for at least couple of years now.
Monaco Gamer Yeah i also got the s6 edge + it runs super smooth but I dropped mine and the screen is completely dead gonna upgrade to the s8 or oneplus 5
Monaco Gamer I just upgraded from the htcm8 to the s8plus, I wanted the pixel but with it being 7months old or so. I went with the newer device. I'm enjoying it. still gonna wait for the pixel2 and see what they bring to the table.
Been using my S8 again recently in late 2022 and can say it is a solid phone. You can definitely tell it's an older phone but surprisingly runs well and it competes decently with budget phones available now haha
@@venator7889 in all honesty the battery is not the best, but using it as a secondary phone it had enough for my needs. It also can fast charge which can help you charge back up quickly.
I'm paranoid about mine as well. I dropped it already with a screen protector from invisible should. Protector shattered, screen? The screen is still beautiful. With the 50 and not monthly. I also use a otter box commuter I think it was called.
get a rubber shockproof cover from ebay. id say it should be extremely protective it saved my s5 heaps from a million drops! I am paranoid as well havent touched my s8 until my covers arrive I ordered 3 different types
I miss this era of phones tbh. The S8 was beautiful, the Pixel just arrived, and I was in love with how it looked from the back, phones with larger storage started becoming the standard even with budget phones... What a good time it was
Put an iR Blaster, front facing/ stereo speakers, Dual Camera setup, and of course change fingerprint sensor placmenent And this becomes The Perfect Phone!
Abdul Haseeb here's the thing tho.They are trying to make the bezels as tiny as possible and the next galaxy is probably not gonna have any bezels,so they would have to find out how to implement speaker technology into the screen and right now they barely have finger print technology to go under the screen so it's probably not gonna come for a decent tine
Casey is not even a pro reviewer and he has 3.4M reviews on his S8 video😂😂 MKBHD love the way you present phones...you could make a guy wanna buy the Nokia 3310 by your cinematography 😉
i can't even think how much hard work and effort you put into your videos sometimes I don't fully appreciate all the tiny little tweaks you do you must work so hard and I don't think many people realize the time spent making one video. Best Wishes, lukeml
I still use my s8+ today. I got a deal on the pixel 7 and bought it but it is still in the sealed box...I will probably sell it since I am not ready to give up my s8+ lol. Just need to replace the battery and I will be good to go for another few years!
I'm probably in the minority, but I would love to see an s8 edge mini that I can comfortably use with one hand. (and yes, I know there's a one hand mode)
tryhardnoob yes like the iPhone SE. For people who want smaller device(yes they're a lot of people who want that) with the power and specs of the latest flagship
Raveen Bikha thanks you.. see some people still understand.. the iPhone 5 had the perfect size.. just need that size less bezzle and more power inside.. I'm using pixel, if it lose more bezzle that would be interesting...
Still using the S8 in 2021. It's amazing that it took YEARS for the iPhone to catch up to this screen-to-body ratio... and even more amazing that iPhone's best PPI still hasn't touched this phone. S8 camera still gives me beautiful shots, display's still great, and the craziest thing is that this still runs the top-of-the-line Android games like a champ... in fact I haven't found one single app that this can't run due to it's older version of Android. Yeah it caps out at Android 9, but that also means 11/12's scoped storage isn't causing hell for emulators, and games like Megatroid that became incompatible with Android 10 still work on the S8. S8's still wonderful, even today.
My parents bought me one in july Then got robbed and worked hard in school,had good grades and now i have an s10+ Altought i miss so much the s8 like its soo beautifull and still better than midrage and budget phones in everything you want
Great things about this phone: -sd card slot -headphone jack -fast charging/ fast wireless charging -the best camera out there period. -best display on a smartphone even in 1080 mode -a lot of security option. -have multi window feature. Yes im pointing at you Apple fanboy -near to future-proof phone with the display,the display's ratio. Dex, bluetooth 5.0 etc -retain everything from the predecessor -comes with adapters and even the AKG earbuds Compromises; -Average battery life (just because the exploding issue) -lower speaker quality Bad thing about the phone: -stupid fingerprint sensor placement
He won't be reviewing it, just like the G5. He even pulled down his G6 impressions video because all he said throughout the whole video was "it's not perfect" and that's what every single comment was about.
Victor Cardoza Dude just has issues with LG maybe. Coz if he does at all he will snail in producing a video about any LG product. But it is just an immediate thing with Samsung. maybe he fell out with LG.
raymaster972 I totally agree with this.Think about it like this, since apples iPhone release dates are always later they have way more time to add more tech.Samsung didn't have enough time to mabye shrink the bezels more or add the fingerprint scanner inside the screen or the camera sensor...Apple is gonna have so much more time to make it perfect
The S8 was a game changer in terms of design. The problem was the software, as usual with Samsung. Their Samsung Experience was already much better than Touchwiz, but still slow and laggy. The completion of the design and the first really usable software came with the S10 series. Samsung comes a long way and today OneUI is the best Android software.
I lost my S8. And now I'm here just in remembrance of him. Wherever you are, just know, I love you.

It surely was. I had a s7 when s8 came out and s7 started to look so outdated then.

The most beuatiful phone from Samsung 🤙🏻🥰💯
*_still watching it from my beautiful s8 after the 7 years ❤_*
Already saw couple of reviews of the S8 - who's also watching just for his quality video? :D
Sheep - Talk, Tech und Mehr me
I am.
Sheep - Talk, Tech und Mehr team iPhone here 7 Plus :p don't hate Samsung. Just disappointed in them cuz their phones don't live for very long. Software updates are horrible. Speed keeps going down and getting slower
blackcatooow i didn't had that problem with exynoa though... Do the Snapdragon version does?
This should get pinned
I find your impression about the fingerprint reader positioning very strange! I just received my Galaxy S8 yesterday. When I hold it in my not-so-big hand in a normal way, the fingerprint reader is right under the tip of my index finger. Actually, it would be so awkward if it was in the center and lower.
Some people say you may put your finger over the camera and make it dirty, that's invalid too. 1. Don't forget about muscle memory, it will become second nature in a week. 2. Cellphone lenses are already dirty (in comparison to what we expect from a camera), because they don't have protection and are exposed to direct touch, so they should be cleaned before shooting serious photos, regardless of what the phone is. 3. I think cellphone cases (which many people use) will help us distinguishing fingerprint reader a little bit better, and/or protecting the lens from being touch.
I think the only valid complain would be from left-handed users.
And finally, don't forget it has iris scanner!
My s8+ charges from 20 to 100 in 45 mins
Ayman Haque same like it says 40 minutes till fully charged but that just an estimate it charges much faster
How long does it last on normal usage?
S8 lasts a full day+ on a single charge
Well my battery must be wearing down.
My s8 takes a few minutes more, but I can't kill the battery through the day. That bitch last too long. Love it
Aaaand the TH-cam algorithm brought me back to this wonderful device after all those years. Although I personally owned the S8 instead of the S8 Plus, but still... I loved it! Wishing you all a wonderful day!
Man i miss my s8. It was my introduction to Android. It was so beautiful. I have s22 ultra now, it's like a totally different world.
Life was so much different back in s8 day
September 2023, new iPhone 15 is just launched, my S8 stil works like charm!
Man I love playing with this phone at work. My 6sPlus is boring, it’s reliable but dammit It’s lame.
I currently own a iphone 6s plus and it is truly indeed boring. I'm planning to switch back to android which is this s8. Would you recommend it?
YES
Erik Johann Riconalla go for it. I had an iPhone 5s and switched over, and have owned iPhones since 2010. The Ui can be as simple as iOS or more complex if you desire. The edge display is really useful as you can keep apps you use often there at the side. The screen is fantastic and blows any iPhone out of the water (although the iPhone x screen is a bit closer) the apps available are pretty much the same as iOS.
Erik Johann Riconalla Hell yeah man. Like my buddy below said. The UI can be as simple as apple or more complex if you prefer. It’s one of those phones that just feels great in the hand. It’s a blast and that display is to die for. Getting it soon myself
Erik Johann Riconalla YES!
5:58 i used this phone 3 years and I'm still in love with it.
Damn this popped again on my feed and gotta say. This design is timeless
"Obviously there's no room to put the fingerprint sensor on the front of the screen any more..."
S10: I gotchu fam
Lol😭
Every new android phone: it is what it is
iPhone: the WHAT
S20 Ultra: say no more fam
@@Niranjan04 ? S20 Ultra has a finger print sensor on the screen to I don't get it
@ thats the point
3 years later, my S8 is still going strong! :) Definitely was way ahead of its time back in 2017; it hardly looks out of place with the other modern-day smartphones.
For me too but Battery life of my S8 is so bad now. I have to upgrade to S20 Fe
@@MuneebR7 this comment didn’t age well 😂 my S8 died and I got an iPhone 12
@@MuneebR7 it worth buying a new S8, from shops that maybe have left boxes or no way finding a new one 😂
My S8 still going strong 5 years 😂.
Using a s8 since this year and it's amazing. Also using another newer phone but the s8 has still up to date performance and it's compact. ☮️
March 2022 and im still rocking my july 2018 S8 phone , its great really except for the battery life. It really amazes me that its never slow or laggy and all apps still work perfectly fine on it. Too bad im buying a new device in afew months and will put my champion S8 to rest, you served me well old guy.
That's very funny because I also have A s8 and I love it
So if the phone is 'almost there' can I pay them 'almost' the money? 😅
Nobody cares about bixby
Allen Tom Yeah that's what I am going to do too, the note 8 will have the fingerprint scanner on the front again and the s-pen is always a nice extra feature
Ahmad Mohamad I agree completely. Let me pay them a $100 less because of the Bixby issue.
Ahmad Mohamad LOL you'd "almost" get it
Alejandro Gllrd I doubt the fingerprint sensor will be on the front, but rather in the middle of the back, like the pixel. Putting it in the front ruins everything they just did. I bought the S8, it wasn't worth the wait for the note and there's nothing wrong with the S8 that seriously bothers me.
Make direct comparison with the S7.
I would love to see how much of a difference the new image processing can make?
I'm an apple sheep, but this phone is gorgeous
i'm a samsung sheep, but iPhone x more gorgeous :D
IPhone x is hideous
Lol iphone x is more gorgeous you have horrible taste

Goodbye Samsung S3
Hello Samsung S8!!
Do you think I should get it because it's $200 off?
RCmies yes
Ava'sGamingChannel 122 thats insane congrats
That's a really big jump lol
meanwhile me still stuck at iphone 5s for 3 years...
Why other flagship don't have curved screen?? I am fan of curved edges..
Un Canny its a samaung thing.
I have an s8 and feel like the curved edges are gimmicky and you sacrifice protection in a case because the sides of the cases dive down below the surface of the glass leaving it open for impact
Ofcourse they are vulnerable BUT i have used s8 for a while and from what i experienced they gives awesome in hand feel and experience due to curve edges
I for one can't wait until my case comes in the mail. This phone couldn't be more slippery if you buttered it up.
Jason Bushland - The curve isn't necessarily made for function, it is made for the feel. I held the regular S8 and it feels phenomenal, especially with how narrow it is, it certainly feels better than the V30 I have, but I had my reasons to prefer the V30.
As an iPhone 12 user in 2020, I’m telling you this phone was ahead of its time and also I FREAKING LOVE THE DESIGN OF THIS PHONE
video quality so good you can watch in 480p and it's still tight af
Please, guys, let's all take a moment to appreciate the low-key, taken for granted, amazing music that he spoils us with every video. That's so amazing dude, the quality of these videos are out of this world and it's what sets you apart from other tech channels.
peter garrett "amazing music" ...
peter garrett word
I started dancing thinking it was Bhangra, lol... I'm not even from India.
Great video as always, been a fan for years. S8 is a real beauty. I own a S6 edge+, still runs flawlessly but this new S8 is so tempting!! also samsung has had the best smartphone displays for at least couple of years now.
Monaco Gamer Yeah i also got the s6 edge + it runs super smooth but I dropped mine and the screen is completely dead gonna upgrade to the s8 or oneplus 5
Monaco Gamer I just upgraded from the htcm8 to the s8plus, I wanted the pixel but with it being 7months old or so. I went with the newer device. I'm enjoying it. still gonna wait for the pixel2 and see what they bring to the table.
Been using my S8 again recently in late 2022 and can say it is a solid phone. You can definitely tell it's an older phone but surprisingly runs well and it competes decently with budget phones available now haha
Please may I ask if the battery life is still good enough?
@@venator7889 in all honesty the battery is not the best, but using it as a secondary phone it had enough for my needs. It also can fast charge which can help you charge back up quickly.
This will be his most viewed video, I'm calling it right now
Sunny Sandhar I agree
Until the next flagship device from Apple/Samsung.
Sunny Sandhar lol not it won't
Sunny Sandhar his most viewed videos are iphone cause they are more pppular
Sunny Sandhar no it wont, usually his apple videos get the most views
just got mine yesterday. I love this phone so much but I'm terrified of dropping it.
jessicat did ya purchase the insurance you might need it
Yeah me too! A cover don't help
Get samsung premium care. They replace s8 and note 8 if there is a crack on it.
I'm paranoid about mine as well. I dropped it already with a screen protector from invisible should. Protector shattered, screen? The screen is still beautiful. With the 50 and not monthly. I also use a otter box commuter I think it was called.
get a rubber shockproof cover from ebay. id say it should be extremely protective it saved my s5 heaps from a million drops! I am paranoid as well havent touched my s8 until my covers arrive I ordered 3 different types
You just made me want this phone soooo much more! 😩😔
Akil Ferdinand I'm using it rn

Right here

Any opinion of this phone in 2019
Pre-ordered mine a couple days ago, upgrading from the original Galaxy, can't wait c:
wow thats going to be a huge upgrade
1106link What a legend!
the original galaxy didnt even had android lol
jonathan M yh it did. had gingerbread
im talking about the one from back, back in the day 2007 around
I miss this era of phones tbh. The S8 was beautiful, the Pixel just arrived, and I was in love with how it looked from the back, phones with larger storage started becoming the standard even with budget phones... What a good time it was
Put an iR Blaster, front facing/ stereo speakers, Dual Camera setup, and of course change fingerprint sensor placmenent And this becomes The Perfect Phone!
Abdul Haseeb Big battery
Abdul Haseeb here's the thing tho.They are trying to make the bezels as tiny as possible and the next galaxy is probably not gonna have any bezels,so they would have to find out how to implement speaker technology into the screen and right now they barely have finger print technology to go under the screen so it's probably not gonna come for a decent tine
Abdul Haseeb I agree, but I don't really need the IR blaster.
Abdul Haseeb don't forget ios
Rivers Hilweh no
Casey is not even a pro reviewer and he has 3.4M reviews on his S8 video😂😂
MKBHD love the way you present phones...you could make a guy wanna buy the Nokia 3310 by your cinematography 😉
Put your screen level at 50% and you save big in battery life
No shit...
+Mega Boy Could you elaborate on the S8+ battery life? What's the stand-by and usage times compared to the S8?
@K B wtf are you talking about?
K B umm did you forgot to take a pill or what?
This was Samsung's big pivot where they started focusing on refining the build quality and making the software better.
i can't even think how much hard work and effort you put into your videos sometimes I don't fully appreciate all the tiny little tweaks you do you must work so hard and I don't think many people realize the time spent making one video.
Best Wishes,
lukeml
Your reviews are one of the best on the net. Keep it up, MKB(U)HD!
Samsung S8 made a breakthrough infinity display. I think this will set standard every new android handset.
Google pixel looks old now 😂
besides the screen burn in and slowing down a bit, it's working perfect for me. 5 years and still going strong baby
"super thin bezels" damn how the times have changed.
In 2017 a 6.2 inch device was huge device, now it's considered a compact device.
I really liked your Review! The throwback to the first edge-phone was nice and adds so much to The Review! good Job!
When this phone came out, I was super impressed by it. My brother had his S8 and upgraded last year.
I still use my s8+ today. I got a deal on the pixel 7 and bought it but it is still in the sealed box...I will probably sell it since I am not ready to give up my s8+ lol. Just need to replace the battery and I will be good to go for another few years!
I'm probably in the minority, but I would love to see an s8 edge mini that I can comfortably use with one hand. (and yes, I know there's a one hand mode)
Just wait for Sony's compact flagships
tryhardnoob yes like the iPhone SE. For people who want smaller device(yes they're a lot of people who want that) with the power and specs of the latest flagship
tryhardnoob both the models have edge
Raveen Bikha thanks you.. see some people still understand.. the iPhone 5 had the perfect size.. just need that size less bezzle and more power inside.. I'm using pixel, if it lose more bezzle that would be interesting...
iPhone 5 is great, smart enough for one-handed operation and its super light
Using S8 plus for three years now ... Such a rugged phone
@@mrcinemagrouppy my mom still use S7 screen and back glass cracks but the phone is a solid device
@@mrcinemagrouppy If you want features of samsung and built quality like nokia go for the S8 plus
It's crazy to see how we are at the s23 ultra right now with phones
Still using the S8 in 2021. It's amazing that it took YEARS for the iPhone to catch up to this screen-to-body ratio... and even more amazing that iPhone's best PPI still hasn't touched this phone.
S8 camera still gives me beautiful shots, display's still great, and the craziest thing is that this still runs the top-of-the-line Android games like a champ... in fact I haven't found one single app that this can't run due to it's older version of Android. Yeah it caps out at Android 9, but that also means 11/12's scoped storage isn't causing hell for emulators, and games like Megatroid that became incompatible with Android 10 still work on the S8.
S8's still wonderful, even today.
All, but the battery :(
Bought S8 plus today. Trust me, it's still the best phone even in 2019.
Same. Bought earlier this year.
@@Toolgdskli just curious. I accidentally left it on charging overnight. Will it damage the battery or ic of my phone?
@@DanishPlays nej
My parents bought me one in july
Then got robbed and worked hard in school,had good grades and now i have an s10+
Altought i miss so much the s8 like its soo beautifull and still better than midrage and budget phones in everything you want
@@mxndim the S8 still looks futuristic to this day. I have a S10+ and a S8+
Great things about this phone:
-sd card slot
-headphone jack
-fast charging/ fast wireless charging
-the best camera out there period.
-best display on a smartphone even in 1080 mode
-a lot of security option.
-have multi window feature. Yes im pointing at you Apple fanboy
-near to future-proof phone with the display,the display's ratio. Dex, bluetooth 5.0 etc
-retain everything from the predecessor
-comes with adapters and even the AKG earbuds
Compromises;
-Average battery life (just because the exploding issue)
-lower speaker quality
Bad thing about the phone:
-stupid fingerprint sensor placement
mohd shakir bad things: super slippery and back will crack
Good things:
usb c
Wireless charging
Fast charging
Also, i think the 7 plus is the best camera because the second lense is unmatched by the s8
no hate but u can multi task on iphone
I mean split screen which Apple made it only ipad exclusive
but people use normal lens most of the time and iphone is always behind Samsungs camera based on the survey without showing the phone's brands
Me still rocking this beast since it was released and it's still working flawlessly
This is one of the best looking phones ever made. It still looks so clean in 2023

Whens the Lg g6 Review Marquess I bought my g6 and I really want your review, YOU ARE MY FAVORITE TH-camR. YOU ARE AWESOME
He won't be reviewing it, just like the G5. He even pulled down his G6 impressions video because all he said throughout the whole video was "it's not perfect" and that's what every single comment was about.
Victor Cardoza Dude just has issues with LG maybe. Coz if he does at all he will snail in producing a video about any LG product. But it is just an immediate thing with Samsung. maybe he fell out with LG.
It's the end of 2019!
And this is the most perfectly designed phone "yet"
Also who else loves that blue colour and wants to see it in future phones
Someon who questions this phone's performance,feel free to buy this one.I have been using this for the past 1.5 yr and no hicuups so far..
Ik this comment is 2 years old but really? Mine got so slow it was basically useless to me
Mine is still fast and works perfectly except for battery not being that good anymore, but it makes sense since i've had it for 4 years
Watching these videos feels so good nostalgic daam we are getting old
I have an S8+ just came get the feel of having one!!!!
Hopefully we start to see some new designs on the pixel and iPhone too!
Darren Wood Apple has been planning this year's iPhone for a few years now. It's going to look better than this trust me.
raymaster972 they couldn't possibly release another one looking the same!
Darren Wood Lol hopefully not
raymaster972 I totally agree with this.Think about it like this, since apples iPhone release dates are always later they have way more time to add more tech.Samsung didn't have enough time to mabye shrink the bezels more or add the fingerprint scanner inside the screen or the camera sensor...Apple is gonna have so much more time to make it perfect
That's true. I'm due for a new phone, and it will be the new iPhone or pixel 😀
I love the s8 plus was my favourite phone to watch movie on. It has a better screen then my current z flip 5
The best phone that i had. Performance still holds up to this day, the design still looks good for today's standard.
Officially making the change from iPhone to Samsung
Firas Alghamdi same
Who else just got this recommended after 6 years?
Me 😂

The S8 was a game changer in terms of design. The problem was the software, as usual with Samsung. Their Samsung Experience was already much better than Touchwiz, but still slow and laggy. The completion of the design and the first really usable software came with the S10 series.
Samsung comes a long way and today OneUI is the best Android software.
Plus the S8 got One UI at the end
