Bro if it's just too slim why not slap on a bulky case like UAG, Otterbox or Spigen Tough Armour? I had the Note 5 before as well and the S8 battery is just better although it's also 3000mAh.

I just dropped my s8+ at my eye level (about 1.6m) while taking some shots. Luckily it was survived by the neo hybrid case and TG. Only some sketches on the casing. Whew...

tempered glass crack very easily previously even accident knock on table also can crack so sometimes i also doubt does tempered glass protect it? I take the phone smack on table also crack. So its your case protected the drop not the TG

s8 or s8+?
and how much? Is it new set or 2nd hand?

pay attention to the red-tint issue and also physical condition of the phone. Make sure no scuffs/scratches and no red-tint issue. If red-tint is present, depends on how obvious and whether you can accept it or not. I would suggest if you cant accept it, dont take it. If you find it good, then go ahead.

To answer your ques above:
1) go to the dialer, key in *#15987# and set the Reddish to 0.
2) next go to Settings > Display > Adaptive Display and check the RGB sliders, make sure all at MAXIMUM. and all the other sliders are in the Middle.
3) next under Display Settings as well, turn auto-brightness off and set the brightness to anything above 50%, or higher if you dealing under hot sun, etc. Basically just make sure the screen is bright that u can see colours and stuffs properly.
4) next go to dialer again, key in *#7353# and select TSP Dot Mode, it should show u a FULL white screen. Then proceed to check properly for any reddish tint on the white background.. Check the curved edges of the screen as well!
example of what a red-tint on white background look like:
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


Ok next steps will depend on whether you can accept the phone condition IF red-tint is present or not-present..
red tint Not present:
5) If no red-tint is present or you find the screen acceptable and to your liking, proceed to dialer and dial *#0*# and run ALL the tests available. This tests the hardware to make sure everything is working, the menus should be pretty self-explanatory and easy for u to understand..
6) check for any dead pixels under full Red/Green/Blue/White and Black background. For White it will be "receiver" for Black it will be "Vibration".
7) once done hardware check, exit and go back dialer and type *#06# to check the phone IMEI number, make sure it is the same as the STICKER which should come on the back of the phone.
8) next check the receipt, if it is indeed 2 years Samsung + 1 year senheng, the receipt date should show proof.
9) depending on your deal with the forummer, pre-order set comes with:
a) starter kit (wireless charger, TWO pieces of screen protector and phone case)
b) 5100 mah fast charge usb type-c powerbank
c) samsung protection plus.

if red tint PRESENT:
1) before doing steps 5-9 above, go to dialer and key *#15987# and set the Reddish to Level 1 (Reddish at -2 or -3) or Level 2 (Reddish at -4 or -6).

2) I suggest never set it to the last option Level 3 (Reddish at -6 or -9), cause that is too extreme and frankly if the device needs to be at level 3 (-6/-9) to hide the red-tint, its better off going to the bin.

3) I also suggest not touching the RGB sliders under Adaptive mode in Display settings to solve red-tint issue. As it may fuck the other colours balance up..
4) if adjusting the Reddish can solve the red-tint issue, then you are good to go to proceed steps 5-9 above.
5) if still reddish tint present, save yourself the trouble and kindly reject the forummer. Its COD after all, not CONFIRM buying. Thank the seller for his time, but kindly reject it. Its not the same as FFK-ing him.
6) make sure you are not rushed into closing the deal, take the necessary time do the necessary checks. The hype or excitement may get you to not check everything properly and I dont want you to regret anything later. As such, make sure you tell the seller you want to check everything properly so that he can allocate his time for your deal, and not be rushing for either party.

Good luck.
