QUOTE(andrekua2 @ May 6 2017, 08:06 PM) Uninstall Facebook and messenger would help a lot. That's the only two I wouldn't install back in any android phone. One wouldn't believe how much it takes the toll on the battery despite what was reflected in the battery status details. Use Edit: I'm lying... I just did for my wife S8+. However there's no Fb nor messenger on my phone. Therefore I really noticed how much better the battery consumption was after I removed both from my S6e. Metal to replace FB |

QUOTE(sramesh @ May 7 2017, 08:48 AM) This wasn't the case when I did the comparison test yesterday. The S8 screen was a tad less bright than the S7E. Even the salesman couldn't answer me. He just said "S8 display is upgraded, can't compare with S7". The salesguys really don't know their products in depth these days. adapt display.set both to adapt display. |

QUOTE(sharpman @ May 7 2017, 11:19 AM) There's nothing wrong with the pic but the problem is let's say u use Instagram to take a pic of pasta in a plate, the end result is the pic zoomed in on the pasta eliminating the plate i tried, i know what happened.instagram using different aspect ratio. when i post to my story, it is ok. when i tried to share my post, it asked me to crop photo. QUOTE I guess 1:1 is better for PC and tablet... and 4:5 vertical is better for phones? I love cropping my photos to 16:9 landscape... but I gather that looks really bad on instagram. Maybe i'll just do what you do and pick between 1:1 and 4:5 vertical for all my photos. That seems to work well. https://www.reddit.com/r/photography/commen..._for_instagram/ This post has been edited by big[1]: May 7 2017, 11:26 AM |

QUOTE(Max2006 @ May 7 2017, 11:22 AM) Some reports saying that there's some chances where the 3rd party accessories aren't compatible to S8, especially the wireless charge pad. Some suspected that it's due to the new battery setup in S8. I guess Samsung wants to play safe as much as possible after the previous fiasco. s8 can stand, my s7e cannot change standing, have to let it lie down. tried again, now ok.

QUOTE(Max2006 @ May 7 2017, 11:27 AM) It's not about the display setting. It's about the brightness level. The note 5 is brighter than s8 in the same level of brightness, no matter it's adaptive or cinema or basic. I can confirm that because I personally compared them side by side. sorry. i mistaken.I believe s8 will be much brighter than note 5 in outdoor since the report said s8 can crank up to 1000 nits outdoor. But of course I didn't have chance to test that since cannot bring out the demo unit to outside. both using set to automatic brightness. automatic can go higher than manual. [QUOTE]First things first, the screen has a maximum brightness of around 447.70 cd/m2 (nits) in manual brightness setting, and 693.21 cd/m2 in auto brightness. At the dimmest setting, the screen can go as low as 1.88 cd/m2 in auto brightness mode, and as low as 1.96 cd/m2 in manual brightness.[/SPOILER] https://www.sammobile.com/2017/04/20/samsun...creen-analysis/ but what is the purpose of you knowing?

QUOTE(Max2006 @ May 7 2017, 11:38 AM) No. Every demo unit are dimmer when compared to note 5 & s7 edge. So you said every s8 demo unit is defective? That's impossible. If you don't believe, you can go to Samsung store and see for yourself. i just tried my s8 & s7e.As bro big[1] said, auto brightness may have different result .but when it comes to manual brightness, note 5 and s7 edge are brighter. both manual brightest. s8 is brighter. and comparatively. my s7e is redder/pink let me show you photo, brb This post has been edited by big[1]: May 7 2017, 11:42 AM |

QUOTE(Max2006 @ May 7 2017, 11:46 AM) Really? Then you have different result with one of the forumers in few pages ago who said his s8 is dimmer than s7 edge. As for me, I only had note 5 to compare. Note 5 is definitely brighter. No wonder people always said note 5 drained battery a lot. I always thought it's 2K screen. Actually it's too bright. So battery drained faster. Lol. nothing conclusive in this photo ![]() |

QUOTE(Max2006 @ May 7 2017, 12:22 PM) Now come to think of it, could it be your S7 edge display is getting weaker, so that's why it's dimmer? As we can see from the pic, your S7 edge is quite reddish. While everyone is worrying about they S8 red tint issue, actually the same thing also happened to older devices. I also found out my ex-Note 5 got some reddish too, but not very obvious. It makes me wonder that the red tint is not a problem, but it's more like a characteristic of the Amoled screen. Everytime they made the screen, the reddish is definitely in there. it's just a matter of either it's very reddish or little reddish. Do you agree? comparatively, it seems like s7edge is getting weaker, but it is still very bright, i can only using about 35% of the bar, for s7edge.yea, can go to setting, play with RGB (Red Green Blue) setting. Blue light is the one to avoid ![]() |

i find that s8 has less curvature/surface on the edge, it should make it safer (less likely to crack/damage on the edge)
below photo shows the edge on s7e(bottom) is easily double) of s8 ![]() This post has been edited by big[1]: May 7 2017, 12:31 PM |
