You still harping on your S6E till now huh.... laugh.gif

Just get rid of it. 32GB is just not good enough these days. laugh.gif

Huh?

I already bought one from Butterworth mobile... I dont really care about storage and camera that much. I want performance and some battery life.

Those who have storage problem should learn how to organize their stuffs instead of dumping everything into their phone. whistling.gif

Then quickly switch over, there is nothing that the S6E can win over the S8 in terms of performance. Maybe the only advantages of the S6E has would be its smaller size.

Files and apps are getting bigger and bigger by the day. Picture files are getting better and better because of technological advancement in camera performance. You can be living in the past.

I already switched over la...

Otherwise how I know the battery life good? Same game on my S8, battery can last 3-4hours... more if on wifi

S8 is smaller than S6e... width wise...

Was told Samsung would took a while to update it in their system. So don't bother to check. It will come eventually.

I already got my 2 years warranty cert from Bintang Maju.

After a week's test on the regular S8, my overnight battery drain (11pm - 7am) looks like this: -

Max Power Saving Mode - 2%
Mid Power Saving Mode - 3%
No Power Saving - 6%
*
I get about 3% drain with no power savings. I don't use FB and I also turned off auto updating for both Galaxy App and Play Store.

Guys,

may i know how much balance left for storage once you reformat S8?
Im thinking running dual sim card with dual whatsapp, wechat, facebook in S8 using the secure folder feature. So it's impossible to add new micro sd card.
*
Managed to find my previous reply on this.

It's 54gb for my wife S8+. Should be same.

I'm having at least 15% battery drain overnight, wth la Samsung. Will try to factory reset when a new update is released

Then you should leave your phone on wireless charger overnight.

I think you should at least try disabling things that would autorun like auto updating apps on Play Store and Galaxy App.

I don't think it matters. Just set it at a level you're happy with. I don't think it must be 0 to be perfect screen.

check their red slider settings under Display and also dial *#15987# and see the Reddish value set at 0, -3, -6, or -9.

Most display units had their units updated already, and also the settings adjusted to hide the red-tint for those units that had it.

In Gardens during pre-order and launch day got 1 or 2 unit had red-tint, then after 1/2 weeks all of them doesnt seem to have anymore red-tint. Then when i check the settings, it appears they have adjusted it. So yeah..

Do what LordDenning suggested, use BASIC mode and check haha.

Basic mode will be yellowish white. The red tint would be more apparent like on my wife S8+. I really don't see a point because most likely you won't be using basic mode if you're so picky. Even I who uses basic mode on my S6e can't stand how the basic mode look like on S8. I'm using Amoled photo.

ask andrekua2 help you.

he also experienced lag, and found out the lag is not caused by the phone, but caused by your LTE line..
Unless you are playing your game with wifi...

I'm playing another game. Mobile Legend should be less demanding in graphic compared to what I'm playing.

First, you need to download Game Tuner. There's no device that would run 2K gaming smoothly. I had mine set to Qhd+ in Display Settings, but for gaming, I set mine to Balanced Power Saving with Game Tuner which lowered it to 720P 60FPS. This allowed me to bump the graphic settings to medium for some eye candy.

Secondly, if you're on Maxis, you might want to set your preferred LTE band if you're not getting 4G+. S8 seem to prefer Band 7 for whatever reason. Band 7 offer higher speed but wall penetration is poor. You would need to set it to default to Band 3. To do so, you need to dial *#2263#.

Select the Stack for your data sim. Then Band Disable>LTE. Press reset. You will see an asterick next to all the LTE. Press everything once EXCEPT FOR LTE 3. That would tell the phone to pick Band 3 first.

Tested a simple snapshot of my living room with S8 vs Pureview 808.

S8 brighten the shot a lot, more appealing. Colours looks great. Focusing seem good on nearer object and getting worse as distance increases. The clock on the wall 20 feet away looks awful and the wall detail is gone. One word for one of the box was captured as black instead of red.

808 shot looks dull but is exactly like what my eyes saw. Details were better on the walls, clock and captured the red words correctly. Less sharpening and noise reduction, can see it's a bit noise but more details.

Maybe one need to download third party camera app to try and see how much Samsung is destroying its own camera software.

I just realized my S8+ uses Samsung's Isocell sensor instead of Sony IMX.

All SME set use Isocell?

All Exynos use ISOCELL.

Something's not quite right then, unless you are into some heavy gaming? I'm getting 4-5 hours SOT on my regular S8, but with no gaming, of course.

Looks like S8 over doing noise reduction is true... less details... on the table surface...

I also took a pic versus 808 and the wall looks awful.
