yeap! I love love love SE 8.1, the icons fonts logos everything looks more matured and professional.

Nova Launcher just looks too childish and kiddy now.

Actually for me this time Samsung did far better look than stock. What Samsung need to do now is polish more the launcher to make it super smooth animation. smile.gif

That the reason I not using food mode, also due to laziness to switch. I find normal mode already nice and vibrant enough.

Your phone is naked? May i ask why u anti sp? Haha.

I use back case but no screen protector. I didn't use it since 10 years ago.

When Tempered glass and clear coat out I do try it but all is removed after few days usage and never bother it anymore. As for that keep promoting that one i surely won't plan to test it, extremely over price product.

idk if this have been shared before (sorry if it has been posted before)or not, but I found out that we can disable the nav bar and status bar (either both or either one) using add command,it will still be there by swiping up from bottom for nav bar.am using it in testing phase.if there is anyone who like this maybe TS andrewtst can pin the link at OP.
SOS or use this SOS
I know the first link is from Nexus 6p thread but it works for S8 as well.for the 2nd link they use an app but also require to use adb to push the command. And the best of it ,no root is required.
Cheers.

SP is an  individual choice. Some are cheap while some others are pricy.
Here I see many justify why is a must to spend up to rm200 for a SP. Well if this make them comfortable just go ahead.
Personally I will not spend money on such SP anymore. As it comes with the phone I tested Samsung SP but I had now removed it as I still prefer feel of the naked display.
I had been warned many times I am being foolish by not applying any protection. Well in my past 8+ years using so many smartphones most of them I do not have SP applied. I had yet experienced even a hairline scratch. I am a very careful person and take good care of my phones. Pessimist will say " you just wait for an accident" !! My phone is always protected with a flipcase and I use only a backcase with phone in car with it on a holder.
Furthermore I rarely use a phone more than 6 months and I don't see point to spend extra on the phone. Even cases I buy cheap types.
Touch wood here - I had never ever even drop my phone before. Most drop cases I believe is due to user carelessness and habit to use phone single handedly. Unless I am taking calls I always use both hands - left to hold and right index finger on display. Personally I am shock to see many users using their smartphones single handedly  while standing up on a moving LRT and they had themselves only to blame if they drop the phones.
*
Exactly, the only scratch is my S6 Edge due to the clear flip case did by Samsung that scratch it. Others than that I don't see any hairline scratch also in my past usage.

QUOTE(haziqmck7 @ May 21 2017, 08:09 AM)
Why dont use totally naked. Haha..im in dilemma. After a while using it naked but considering how fragile s8 is. Wanna put a case on it. But seen the dust particle seep through the case n accumulate n mayb coz scratch make me think twice. Hmmmm.

Too slippery, without case anytime drop, can't la. Haha!

unker. we are Gen Y using smartphone single handed lo. i even always replying wasap when on ride. mobile phone is meant to be simple n easy. one hand operating phone, another can do many other useful activity. proactive & multitasking. we protect the phone bcos is pricey yet fragile. im healthy now & touch wood hope won't masuk hospital. that doesnt mean we can skip health insurance.
*
Single hand usage also not means you will drop the phone unless you had difficulty to hold the phone, if that is the case, it is wise to hold it with two hands.

It is danger to multitask (doing others job) when using phone, you see so many accident happen due to multitask when using phone.

What's  the main advantage of dual camera? Is it for different aperture?
*
For me that gonna be how the dual lens work.

LG - 2nd lens is Wide Angle, this is very useful and I hope Samsung did this because wide angle is not something normal angle lens can get, it is very nice to see wide angle view landscape photo.

Huawei - 2nd lens is black sensor lens, this make the black and white photo very awesome as it is pure black and white, Huawei also use the black and white sensor to improve the photo quality but this part is not necessary as single lens already can get even better photo quality. It is fun to have black and white sensor but I feel bored on it unless you love black and white photography.

Apple - 2nd lens is different focal lens, which means you get no distortion and clear photo up to 2x zoom. It is not a real zoom lens but due to it different focal lens, it act as zoom.
