Well those who don't mind spending for sp can try Whitestone dome, the installation is pretty technical but since it's UV glue it has full coverage not just crappy stickers on the side edges.

I think I'll still go naked this time as phone usually a yrly purchase don't want to sayang this and that put thick casing and protector in the end feels like using another phone. My iPhone 7 plus also yes I sold it at a lower price but I enjoyed using the phone.

QUOTE(yadea @ May 8 2017, 12:34 PM) Noticed when using battery monitoring app. The S8 charges at only 2A max compared to most modern type c chargers. My guess is either because type A->type c or samsing is playing it safe. Anyway the phone charges to full from single digit percentage to 100 using powerbank at around 2 hours and wall charger yesterday from 17% to 100% in 1.5 hours. The s8 follows quick charge 2.0 specs, u c their product page and power bank it's all same as s7. |

QUOTE(yadea @ May 8 2017, 01:19 PM) Samsung fast charge only goes up to Qualcomm quick charge 2.0 spec, u use higher output it will just roll back to quick charge 2.0 spec.I trief tronsmart power bank USB c to USB c port it doesn't even say fast charge...... If I use USB c to USB a like the cable that comes in the box fast charge is enable, so I'm suspecting Samsung locked it down so it doesn't get another exploding problem. |

QUOTE(cyewe @ May 8 2017, 05:10 PM) Unfortunately, I didnt check properly when i unboxing the phone in the store, i went back and next day i found a chip/hole on the center of the screen. it is very hard to notice that, but in outdoor or strong lighting condition it is noticable, at least for me, I find it VERY annoying and for a phone that costs almost 4k, it should not expect this kind of thing to be happened right? Just tell them u want speak to manager and explain that under the store light u didn't noticed it. And the hole is very smooth not like normal scratch where it looks rough. Anything has defects u buy a MacBook Pro that cost over 10k also has keyboard defects and other issues..Question: anyone know how long would samsung approve for 1 to 1 exchange? i went to service center yesterday and lodged the report, just now i check it's still pending for approval from management. ![]() ![]() |

QUOTE(mydragoon @ May 9 2017, 11:54 AM) this is s8/ s8+ thread, right? oh, need to spell it out clearly, isit? Every product has those disclaimers to protect the company from components change since one component supplier might go bankrupt, fail to deliver the amount they agreed too etc. And u need to chill its a phone not the end of the world....basically, it's a "disclaimer" by Samsaung that whatever they indicated on their website is just an indication and it can change... example: UFS2.0 vs UFS 2.1, etc... even features, hardware specs may be changed. |

The freebies is worth more than 300, the power bank itself when u visit Samsung store is 2xx, charging stand is another 2xx, extended warranty and also screen warranty. There is also the back cover and the lowest cost item the screen protector.
