QUOTE(ace-user @ May 31 2017, 09:27 AM) My point is that the standby is really poor. I'm can leave my phone for a while not touching it and it drains quite quickly, hence less battery to get better SOT. I was expecting better standby time given Samsung even have their own battery optimisation and nougat got doze feature but still the standby time is terrible. I recalibrated my battery yesterday by draining it to 0 and recharge back to full. Will see how it goes. Hmmm, my experience with the S8 is quite the opposite actually. Of all the Samsung devices I've owned before, this one seems to be the best in terms of standby power consumption. Could it be something to do with Android Doze? Anyways, the standby time is not spectacular by any means, but for a 3000 mAh Android device from Samsung, this one has better battery performance compared to the Note 5 which I previously owned.

QUOTE(kevin23 @ May 31 2017, 10:57 AM) Price drop like a rock. Now its a good time to buy 2nd hand . Which could explain why Samsung had the audacity to put a retail price of 2,999 for the Tab S3, ha ha.

I'm using the S8+. I'm staying in a condo, and I unplug from charger before I get out of home, so it's fully charged 100%. By the time i reach condo carpark, already drop to 99%. By the time I reach office which is half hour away, 98%. Simply not acceptable. I'll let it settle for few more days, today ady 4th day using.

QUOTE(aaron1717 @ May 31 2017, 09:58 AM) so the marks they get from dxomark is not really accurate for daily usage?  so far i see mate 9's EMUI Machine Learning Algorithm seems to be fulfilling their promises... gaming for few months already.... performance and battery standby still going strong.... Truth to ne told. The best phone you can have right now.everything is perfect. But i do miss wide angle for front camera from s8.

Yes, non believers especially Iphone fanboys would never believe how far android has come since their note 2 note 3 times.

That's really strange. It's like a 1% drop in standby in less than 5 minutes? Mine doesn't drop that much and it's a regular S8 and not even an S8+.

What your brightness setting? auto manual? usually manual will give you a more constant battery life because the sensor dont keep changing based on environment lighting. Any running apps in the background? You want an even longer battery life switch to power saving mode.. The problem is never android is you. If you understand lithum ion battery people dont use 100% to 0% they charge when a charger is available it prolong the battery further.

Because u are an android fanboy.  But honestly speaking, the android ecosystem was really weak then. We had to root our phones, install custom roms and stuff. With android nowadays, I dont even bother. I have even forgot how to root my phone already. QUOTE(haziqmck7 @ May 31 2017, 11:41 AM) Ya. Imagine one of them ask for trade their 7plus with my s8plus.

I have even forgot how to root my phone already. in a way the touch wiz back then reli still need improvement... the good thing of note series over the iphone during that time is the battery capacity and s-pen... haha... rooting a phone is a must during that time just like most iphone users jailbreak their iphones... haha... but then seems like alot of the android phones going back to as close as the basic android version already.... which is a good thing nowadays...
