The edge sense navigation is what you should be concentrating on.  Others are more or less the same here and there for most flagship. Love to see if Samsung is willing to reinvent the way they think the edge should works. Rubbing either edge to trigger one hand operation is quite interesting depending on how it actually works in the final product.

Actually s7edge can rub edge to wake the phone. Then touch finger print sensor. No need to hard press thr home button.

Yes. Many hated samsung. I am not sure why.

Maybe they are looking for best bang for buck. Which only xiaomi or huawei can provide (2 years ago. Not now)

after reading few forums on the web..general consensus are s8/s8+ DAC are quite good..

though its still a step below v20/G6/Axon 7 level.. the snapdragon version of s8 sounds similar like HTC 10 as its using the same Aqstic dac..

Exynos will/might be using Cirrus Logic CS43130 which is rumoured to be quite good..cant compare tu ESS quad Dac on the V20/g6 or Axon 7 AKM Dac setup but would be leap and bound improvements of the abysmal s7edge DAC.

can't wait to try it out with my BA iem this thursday..
*
To be frank. I use s7e with mojo on the go and centrance on my desktop.

Nothing bad about s7edge .

And those that bs you read as if it is day and night difference. They need to stop being a fanboy and get themselves a mojo or dap.

I mean. Either you go full audiophile with bricks or you just plug your iem in and enjoy on the go


Unless you using ie800(need more power). Other wise. These audiophile bs thing at most 5% difference.

Sos:
Hd700. Thx00.
Xba z5. Xba a3. Triple fi.

( i dont list below 1k stuff)

Edit: those audiofool did not enable adapt sound. Great underrated stuff from samsung

Finally get to hold s8+.

Was surprised because i was playing with s8. Without knowing s8+ is right in front of me. both are very similar.

Feels very very good in hand.

Now the problem is the price ( still cant get over myself for the price). And the screen.

The phone is 100% feels good in hand naked.

But go naked = cry.gif





Yes. It lags when scrolling. doh.gif im a 50% fanboy. But i cant deny it.

doh.gif

Edit: midnight black is boring. Just like another iphone jet black and feels a little....toylike.

Orchid gray/grey feels ok. The silver on the frame is negligible. Maybe i need to go and play for a little longer.

Im an old fashion guy so i am more to taking still picture instead of video.

Gear 360 i have no idea how to appreciate the result photo. 360degree photo is too new.

If gear 360+ vr = rm999+rm499 *50% = 748

Rm3699+ rm748 = rm4447 ( happiness which last until note 8)

:omg:

Bro u used s7e with an external dac/amp .. Of course it will sound good.. Out of the box, no add on external dac.. Its one of the poorest sq on a smartphone.. The sound stage is quite narrow..

And i enabled adapt sound in the sound setting, still cant match my htc 10 interms of soundstage..

I like to carry one device on to go when i'm listening to music..  So i'm comparing out of the box experience.. When u add external dac/amp in the mix, there are outside influence already..

Just look at pocketnow real audioreview.. Shows the output between s7,s8 and v20.. S7 is the worse, puny output.. While v20 can drive any freaking cans thrown at it..

For me i like convenience.. Carrying my phone and iem.. Since i go out with my jeans and no bag.. Putting phone + dac.. It will make my pocket look huge..
*
Appreciate your reply.

Sorry that i did not make myself clear.

S7e + mojo vs s7e , not big difference.

For iem. The difference not big enough to justify the bulk.

Means ok ok la s7e. Headphone is more obvious cos the amping.

Make sure you try Adapt sound once you got your s8 bro.

haha, while I'm the type that goes there 11am hoping there's still slot  doh.gif  sweat.gif

but honestly, since it's a pretty huge event, best go there early just to make sure. I guess the queue might probably even start the night before on certain locations, but reaching around 7am should be quite safe for the 200 units

If there are malaysians foolish enough to queue overnight to spend 4k to 5k. Then i am speechless.


And samsung fb full of disgruntled pre order customers. doh.gif


Lets hope 2 months later lazada dont sell at 20% off( happened to s7e)

yeah ..will do.. i tried the Adapt sound s7e previously..it does improve the sound..but the output is still considerably weak compare to other phones..

but reading regarding s8.. things are heading in the right direction.. retiring from this toxic audiophile thing.. really can drain money..lol..

as long as the phone can drive my xba-z5 and sounds good.. should be ok by me for my listening on the go..
*
Since you using z5. So understandably you want the best possible from your source.

S7edge is just good enough to power easy to drive headphone/iem. Samsung dont prioritise dac in favor for better battery life i guess.

hi guys, im planning to get a S8+ on the roadshow itself this friday, just wondering if anyones know any info on where do we line up for it and stuff? and wonder how early do we need to be there to be in the first 200 customers.

additionally, anyone can recommend any sp for the 8+?

No better sp for edgr screen other than clear coat. The rest cant stick. Tempered glass might have air pocket ( quality issue of tg)

btw bro...is the clear coat case friendly?
*
If you case is high quality. Means dimension is very fitting.

You can remove the clearcoat sp ( at 4 corners) or the sp at the back to have a better fitting.

I would advise against going for case friendly to save some.money. because in future you might want to go naked. Then you can ask them to apply it back.

all this sp imported are good

benefit you need apply yourself and if spoil you have to spend money to replace it while clear coat as long as your phone live a professional giy will replace/recoat for you for free even after screen crack replacement.

so it depends or those sp can guaranteee a long period of time it wont damage or crack but i know tempered glass minor knock also can crack

Happy to know there are tempered glass that is good for edge screen.

Always good to have more options.

Demand > Supply. They are the only korean glass manufacturer that can produce this tempered glass.
It is sold out everywhere by the way. With cash in hand also can't find one

Or maybe they cant make it good enough.

Edge is 1 thing.

To match the curvature of the edge is another.
