Note 3 was good in the beginning. 6 months down the road I had all sorts of problems with it. Battery drain, software issues, Overheating, etc. It was a half-baked product then, but I certainly would not call any Android flagship a half-baked product now. The ecosystem is just a matter of individual preference.

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...

TBH, after returning my Note 7, I went on to try the OPO 3 an OPO3T and I find that their Oxygen OS (which is quite close to vanilla android) is actually quite good in terms of fluidity and performance. Of course you dont find as many features as you do on TW but hey, it gets the job done and most importantly it is smooth as silk. That is why I still have my OPO 3T with me as a daily driver.

Because u are an android fanboy.  tongue.gif 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. tongue.gif
Are they mad? For f@cks would I wanna trade my S8+ with an Iphone 7 + and with top up of Rm 2.5k somemore?  rclxub.gif

Yala. Add another 600 i can buy another s8plus doh.gif ..qoo10 proce 31xx oni. Haha

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+.

Ya, doze like didn't kick it. I'll use gsam battery to monitor app usage.

Its actually quite common especially when you keep powering it on to check the battery. Just leave it alone and let it settle for 20 to 30 mins and see if there is any difference.

good luck bra! maybe you can try to use the package disabler pro or greenify,both does a very good job. just to make sure the apps no longer in use are hibernated.

The OPO 5 doesnt come with the improvements I was looking for. So a bit dissapointed. Most important of all, they didnt even change the outlook of the phone much. shakehead.gif
