Handling an S8 will make any other phone look ugly.

You got that right. Especially if the phone has a white bezel. rclxub.gif

You again? Where did you see this? laugh.gif

Yeah, I think orchid gray is a better choice. It would either be black or gray. I chose gray this round.

Yup.. Took delivery of 3 units of S8+ on collection day and 3 units had different levels of red tint. rclxub.gif I got the worst one exchanged for another set.

LoL... I get where this is going. Anyway usb-c powerbank charge faster IINM but I still prefer micro usb. As for fast charging, well, Samsung fast charging only works when battery reach certain percentage. If you're going to top up every now and then, it really didn't matter fast charging or not if it didn't trigger fast charging.

For me, the price is a turnoff, along with the size given the capacity. If you are willing to buy, I'm really willing to sell. Samsung selling for 250? I'm willing to part with it for 150.
*
Thats the features of fast charging. Fast charging only starts after certain percentage and stops when it reaches around 80%+-. Its the same with huawei's quick charge and OPO's dash charge.

Are you sure it's 80% for Fast Charging? I thought it was more like 50-60%.
*
Yes. Try again and see. Slows down after 80%+-.

Not really submerged but full splashed wet.. I was watching netflix while shower.. then forgot that it was wet, plugged into charger.. the phone gave the notification below and refused to charge.. lucky its smarter than me.. hahahaha
Now that it is dried, can charge as normal..

I saw somewhere (try googling it) about IP68 protection, only against normal water, not saltwater or seawater, not against coke, coffee, alcohol, high pressurized water since it may break the water seal..

[attachmentid=8811630]

Yes, there is a sensor detecting moisture around charging area. So when moisture is detected, charging is automatically turned off. The IP68 protection is only against plain water and not seawater.

Im waiting to see if Samsung will honour water damage warranties. Sony had a hell of a time honouring water damage as there is not way to check how deep the phone went into prior to damage.

As usual, Public Bank and their sub par deals. laugh.gif

in the phone itself, there are 3 paper-like-sensor located at around charging port, earphone port and speaker (If not mistaken) once the paper changed color, even though is under warranty, samsung wont let you to claim the warranty,

under normal circumstances, those paper wont change colour even though u submerse your phone under water.

more than the depth and duration, due to pressure, water will go in and the paper get wet, colour changed, warranty gone.
*
That is why I said, there is no way to prove how deep your phone went into. A small leaky part of the seal would have got the said litmus paper to change colour. Same case with Sony with their xperias, they will tell you when you claim that this is only a one time water damage claim.

If one do not need good ping for online gaming, either one also okay. But if ping is important, I have to say only Maxis and Celcom made the cut.
*
I would be to differ. I think only Digi and Maxis makes the cut. Celcom is like lagging behind now with their poor network and slow connections. For me, Celcom is no 3 now.

Huawei crappy ? Seriously have u used any
My opinion HW makes very good phones having used the 6.1, X1, Mate7, Mate8, Mate 9 pro n Mate9.
It can easily rivalled most high end phones these days
U make this conclusion just on its recent p10 series storage type issue ???

Btw the S8+ isn't that great for its price vs the much cheaper LG G6. I am using both now

Well, you have to expect abit of fanboism in their respective threads. rolleyes.gif
