unfortunately, snapdragon 835 still lacks in single core performance compared to iphone 6S. I love vanilla android but they need better and more efficient CPU's.
photinoman That may be true, but the S8 performs better than the iPhone 7 in multi-core performance. At the end of the day, no one is buying an iPhone or an S8 for their benchmarks. You buy a phone for the overall experience, including OS, camera, display, customization, cool features etc.
I am still using my S8 in 2022 ! It still works like on day ONE. And I still love it as on DAY1 - especially - I admit - the wonderful EDGE DISPLAY. I plan to continue to use this phone for another few years....as long as it keeps working.
I couldn't agree more and the scanner is quick. I can reach easily and unlocks pretty quick. People read tech mag criticism and just jump on the bandwagon.
legend gaming me too😁 I made the switch from iPhone to android and iPhone was my first and only phone since 2009. I hate the android emojis though. only regret 😣
The finger print reader is the most overblown feature people are complaining about! it's literally in the perfect spot for my hand as soon as I grab my phone. You should just get a smaller phone if your hands aren't big enough. If you put a case on it too it's even more easily identifiable, because it sits right on the edge of the case where the opening is.
Totally agree. The fingerprint reader isn't that bad at all. I got myself used to it since the first time I got my phone. Always managed to land my index finger right on the scanner even without touching the camera lens
JansThx Lol thats why I love to have a cover on these slim a.f slippery phones, so I wont touch the screen by mistake, Unlike what we had before 2010 when phones came by default as indestructible and no touch screen! (Samsung& other brands)Ughhh I miss those phones
I watch vids of phones I don't have all the time. I use them to judge whether or not I want to buy that phone. I really like the features of this S8 so I think I'll get two. One for me and one for my wife. This phone kicks ass. It's better than my Note 5. Yeah, I know, I can get the same, if not better, features in the Note 8. I have been an avid Note user since they came out but one thing I never actually use is the s pen and screen write features. So why note just go with the S8?....lol
2nd, use it. 3rd download the apps you want and sign in to them. Everything else is kinda irrelevant, change your theme and settings nothing that really matters much. Video is kinda useless because most people would know all these things from simply going through their settings.
If you want to change the color of the on screen buttons,, (you must have on screen buttons, obviously), download "Navbar". I set colors for individual apps so it charges to red for TH-cam, blue for Twitter, etc. It's great and I highly recommend it!
Switching to the s8 plus from the iPhone 7 Plus tomorrow. I am so excited. I have been an Apple person for a long time but this phone made me want to go back to android!
@@abbasilly Well, Iv'e never owned apple, but I can tell you that it is worth it. For sure. The features, the camera, the screen, is all better then apple. And it has the headphone jack :)
Mr Beasley agreed. Never understood people's obsession with hating on the button placement Samsung defaults to. Makes more sense for the back button to be on the right, imo. To each their own...
Agreed, for right-handed people the right spot should be the best one since that's generally more accessible in a one-handed grip,and the back button is the one you'll be using the most.
That fingerprint scanner being on the back of the phone is horrible, they should of left the series alone the s 7 is the best, it has all the corrections from s 6 and all the corrections for the s 8 that people are already complaining about, already in one phone lol idk wtf Samsung is trying to do but there s 7 is the best
yeah its really fast and efficient ..but the problem is its not affect to the eyes in really bad way..if u use it often u can feel headache ..so i didn't use it.. face recognize is way better
Had a S8 for many years, recently replaced it by a S20 FE. The S20 FE is amazing don't get me wrong but, the S8 certainly had its charm and it will forever have a soft spot in my heart ♥️
We have the same experienced. Bought mine June 2017 and was replaced also by S20 FE 5G. My Galaxy S8 is still working and will blow any midrange and some premium model camera's but sadly the battery and lag issue is now too much.
7:10 it's not long press, you need to hard press it. It's activated by the pressure sensor behind the screen. The sensitivity of home button can be adjusted.
I just got a refurbished S8 today after 4 years with Note 4! I was perplexed when it came out of the box lol tried to get the back off because I thought I had to insert the battery..? ?? My Note 4 had enough umph left so I could go on TH-cam and figure out some basics. Thank goodness for these videos! I think I'm going to have to spend at least half the day learning the phone tomorrow.

That Always-on display is a really really nice thing, I cherish my Lumia phones for having Glance display as most often I look at my phone just to check the clock, and having the clock always on the display is really handy.
Garret141076 Hi, Switching from iphone to samsung S8 for first time so can you explain what will happen by doing this? Bit of a culture shock switching from apple to samsung... Quite complex
Srbandara So I can explain it briefly, There's a smooth animation whenever you launch up a app let's say Google play store, it takes some time but it does look fancy right!, but when you change the animation scale down to 0.5 (from 1.0 originally) the phone will feel faster, start launching apps faster basically the fancy smooth experience that feel very slow if you are coming from Apple will be gone and it will feel more like a Apple device and feel faster (I would recommend trying and comparing from 0.5 to 1.5 so you feel what fits you the best) 👍🏼😊
Just switched from iPhone. This video was absolutely the best. This is 2019 and I’m not buying a high end new phone till 5g is ubiquitous. So the note 8 was my choice to get off the now down hill apple devices. I didn’t know any of these tips after a month or so with this phone. Satisfaction with Android has now increased by 200% at least and it was already high
I like to check the time on my phone and check for notifications a lot and turning on the entire display frequently will cost more mAh than using always on display
First time Samsung user, switched from Iphone, need all the help I can get because also technically challenged. This video eased me in gently and has been very helpful.
The reason why you are having a hard time using the fingerprint scanner is because you are not holding your phone with your right hand like most do... you are holding it with your left which leads me to believe you are left handed. Maybe Samsung should make it accessible for both hands to use and not in a specific place, but they wanted it to look more uniformed. I have seen the fingerprint scanner work with even half of a fingerprint by a right-handed person so it works very well.
I'm right handed and find it more comfortable to hold it with my left hand (or that is what I do most of the time), and so my dominant right hand is free, and able to do other things at the same time. Nothing wrong with it.
Left an I phone which was huge for me. Loved the comprehensiveness of this video and am grateful as it is allowing a higher comfort level and I am beginning to realize what a great move this was!
Jack Graybird it's better than iPhone I can tell you that. I've only ever had an iPhone as my phone until now. I just hate the android emojis ): but everything else is so much better on S8
Jack Graybird coming from an iPhone 7 plus. but I've been torn between the two since the first iPhone. Switched to Android when the S3 came out. Then back to iPhone with the 6. The s8 is amazing. Im happy I made the switch
Got mine Saturday on the Best Buy sale. Coming from a Nexus 6P, this phone is awesome! Yes I miss stock android and the big screen. This phone however runs smooth as butter!
You are really helpful. I'm always going back and fourth with the iPhone and android and I'm getting the new galaxy 9 in April. Because I'm getting sick of the iPhone.
I bought My S8 plus yesterday. I owned an s2, s3 and s4 then I switched. My last phone was an LG V10 witch was a great phone,,BUT the battery life was sooooooooooooo bad it was unbearable. I'd loose %25 in the first hour without even using it.. had to charge it 3-4 times a day. Now this phone...the s8 is like a dream come true. I LOVE it.. Thanks for the video,,all of your tips were very very helpful.. there's a lot to figure out on this phone....
I am so grateful for this video to come up on my recommendation list!! I appreciate your tips :D I got my S8 a few days ago, and this is SUPER helpful!!!
This is the first time I've been jealous of Samsung users. This hardware is absolutely gorgeous! But still not enough to draw me away from my Pixel and pure Android.
Great review and great style!!! Just upgraded to s8 from s5 and WOW, what a difference! Will keep this s8 for a few years hopefully and then switch in another 4 models or so to hopefully ANOTHER BIG DIFFERENCE!!!
I've wanted one of these since I first saw the news for it (in 2015) and I'm getting one next year and I am soooo excited watching countless s8 videos, and this is the most helpful so far
Maybe it's because I use a case, but I have zero issues finding the fingerprint scanner. I have an S8+, and big hands, so I'm probably an outlier. I can throw my phone up, catch it, touch the fingerprint scanner, and be good to go instantly. My case does block the area past the scanner, so I have a solid reference point physically.
On the bottom of the video viewer box there is the cog, click on that, then you will see "play back speed" click on that and then pick a slower speed. Problem solved.

I still love this desing it feels so seamless in the hand, I did not noticed until I got the s9 that is slightly thicker its not as smooth and ligth as the s8 also the back of the s8 looks so clean its my favourite desing of all time.
i have the same galaxy s8 plus as yours and its the same color but it doesnt say "galaxy s8" on the back,does that mean its a fake samsung or something ?
The new fingerprint scannerr works better but is a hassle for people with small hands. The iris scanner is an amazing feature. I can't believe he didn't talk about it.
I just ordered mine from t-mobile on Wednesday, I been with the company so I didn't have to put a lot of money down to finance mine.ill be paying off my phone I my bill monthly
Since the S9 is set to come out soon, Sprint has the S8 monthly installment at $8 for 12 months. The premium will go up after that based on your credit and how much money you put towards the phone.
Yeah it's all in settings under display. Long pressing on the home screen also brings you to the option to make the icons larger and in smaller grid patterns. Like 8x8, 6x6, 4x4
I have visual impairment. I was able to go to Settings > Accessibility and not only increase font size but selected high contrast, the keyboard is better than great. It's large, sensitive & the golden yellow color behind the letters makes it incredibly easy to read. Also the text box is easier to read. Even for a person who just wants larger font for less eye strain, this is SO much better than the iPhone.

Went from the 7edge to the s8 plus. Best phone I've ever had. Good luck apple

Jovanny Aybar Agreed. The case made it easy to find and now I just turn on it without thinking about it.
I was thinking the same thing. I have the 8plus and my finger always lands directly on the scanner. And I'm a girl, so my hands aren't super huge.

Probably not necessary. Just use it and try to take it down low, then go up to 100%.
I recommend getting the Accubattery app, charging to 100% is not necessarily good for the battery
Onwards Or Upwards
M4M R try not have your phone drop to 0 nor have your phone chargeb to 100, phine bat last longer.

You’re actually supposed to charge it to 90-95%, then let it die.

I am so grateful for this video to come up on my recommendation list!!
I appreciate your tips :D
I got my S8 a few days ago, and this is SUPER helpful!!!
I remapped my Bixby button to go straight to the camera and I loveee it!
This is the first time I've been jealous of Samsung users. This hardware is absolutely gorgeous! But still not enough to draw me away from my Pixel and pure Android.
The wallpaper is so nice can u link it somewhere pls😊😊❤
Why so many dislikes? I was very interested the entirety of the video.
Great review and great style!!! Just upgraded to s8 from s5 and WOW, what a difference! Will keep this s8 for a few years hopefully and then switch in another 4 models or so to hopefully ANOTHER BIG DIFFERENCE!!!
Thanks man
How can i find this wallpaper you have sir? ;)
Awesome video. Very concise and easy to follow. Thank you so much.
Nice, glad the info came across!
Looking forward to more in-depth reviews.
Omg this phone is insane for gaming
Just got mine. So excited. Thanks for the vid, very helpful
I've wanted one of these since I first saw the news for it (in 2015) and I'm getting one next year and I am soooo excited watching countless s8 videos, and this is the most helpful so far
Just swich from 7 edge to s8 on 2019😁
sound like the guy from Khan academy
yes!

Oh lol
A little
Why you should buy a s8?
Take a second and look at that device, admire how Fuckin sexy it looks.
Starry Live because my iPhone 6s Plus is dying. The battery decided to swell last Monday
had pixel issues but after 2 returns i have a good screen and they gave it to me for free. Best phone ever!!!!!!
Maybe it's because I use a case, but I have zero issues finding the fingerprint scanner. I have an S8+, and big hands, so I'm probably an outlier. I can throw my phone up, catch it, touch the fingerprint scanner, and be good to go instantly. My case does block the area past the scanner, so I have a solid reference point physically.
75 year old here, if you could slow your speaking speed from 100mph down to around 15mph, that would be much appreciated Tq!
Yeah I agree. Lol. Too fast
Iam 49 y/o here, and I totally agree with you Mr. Peter.
On the bottom of the video viewer box there is the cog, click on that, then you will see "play back speed" click on that and then pick a slower speed. Problem solved.

The first thing to do is to invest in a non-slip case
using s8+ for three years and still learning from you
S8 too
@@Francisco-jr1bl when should we replace?
@@harveysp5899 I don't pretended to, but maybe around ending of 2022.
@@Francisco-jr1bl good idea! today i got a new software update which is encouraging to stick with mine too
@@harveysp5899 Absolutely! Go for it!
Great job! Just switched from iphone 7plus to S8Plus...Thanks for tips. Love the phone! So many features...Too cool
I still love this desing it feels so seamless in the hand, I did not noticed until I got the s9 that is slightly thicker its not as smooth and ligth as the s8 also the back of the s8 looks so clean its my favourite desing of all time.
watching on my brand new s8+ like if same 😀
Devin Flores s8
same
Devin Flores yep
Same
angelica quirona high five dude
I wish they didn't take away the ability to remap the Bixby button.
i have the same galaxy s8 plus as yours and its the same color but it doesnt say "galaxy s8" on the back,does that mean its a fake samsung or something ?
The new fingerprint scannerr works better but is a hassle for people with small hands. The iris scanner is an amazing feature. I can't believe he didn't talk about it.
Even a baby could reach the fingerprint scanner!
This is actually a useful video. I learned and improved my phone. Wish more TH-cam was the same.
+Larry Litmanen Glad we could help!
Does the face recognition work on a photo ? Hope No ! My girlfriend is smart enough to do that 🤣
No one ever talks about the secure folder. Shit is perfect to store shit I don't want my mom to see 😂😂
Watching on my brand new Galaxy S10+!
lol Just kidding!
Saint Lucky lol
@@Leeanardis Loved the S8! Great phone!
@@Leeanardis o my daseeeee I am gonna get this in June too loool !,,
@@Leeanardis AMAZING! I will probablly get it near the end of June 😀😀😀
Literally this is the first video I have found useful as I'm planning to switch over to Samsung from iPhones!
I got mine today and i loved it.
also dont forget to set your display to 2560×1840 since it comes in 1080p from the box
Films
Thanks but I allready know that some reviews tell you that
watching on my s8+(:
I dont see why people hate the placement of the fingerprint reader
What is the best cover for thus phone? Don't want to add bulk but I'm quite clumsy and need protection from dropping it!
Best cover bar none is made by MOUS - expensive but you should watch the youtube video on it. Impressive.
Getting this over an iphone 8 for my birthday, it's so worth it
who wants this phone really badly but can't afford it!!!
im getting it next month
I just ordered mine from t-mobile on Wednesday, I been with the company so I didn't have to put a lot of money down to finance mine.ill be paying off my phone I my bill monthly
Since the S9 is set to come out soon, Sprint has the S8 monthly installment at $8 for 12 months. The premium will go up after that based on your credit and how much money you put towards the phone.
U will get there no worries
You can get it from T-Mobile or Amazon for really cheap.
loving th phone but the icons are tiny... also need some help on making font size bigger without using the screen zoom
Craig Santangelo Isn't there an option to increase or decrease your font size? S6 has it so I'm not sure why they wouldn't include it with S8.
Yeah it's all in settings under display. Long pressing on the home screen also brings you to the option to make the icons larger and in smaller grid patterns. Like 8x8, 6x6, 4x4
I have visual impairment. I was able to go to Settings > Accessibility and not only increase font size but selected high contrast, the keyboard is better than great. It's large, sensitive & the golden yellow color behind the letters makes it incredibly easy to read. Also the text box is easier to read. Even for a person who just wants larger font for less eye strain, this is SO much better than the iPhone.
watching this on my galaxy s8 five moths after i got it
Bennie Chen would you recommend it?
yep!
Bennie Chen is that an X-box logo
Finally getting my s8 tomorrow! 😁👌
Thank u for making this video I had so much Trouble figuring out this phone with this video it helped me a lot
