Meaningless reporting without saying which other smartphones were tested too . Is say the LG G6 , Xperia premium, HTC U11 considered too in the evaluation?

Its consumer reports dude.. They test every consumer products out there in the market, in this case smartphones..
HTCU11 and the new Sony not yet fully tested. but LG G6 was tested as well and is in top 10 I think. Too bad for you you rate the G6 over the S8s right? No wonder your feathers got rustled loool.
1) S8+
2) S8
3) S7 Edge
4) LG G6
5) iPhone 7+

Sorry you are wrong. Why should I be bother about how S8 or G6 rate? Btw I had sold off my G6 and prefer the S8+ over it. Such reports do not represent the fact as everyone viewed it differently

Great phone ...my only complaint is I find it too slim. I much prefer the width of the G6 or Mate9.
Battery life is good with minimum 6 hours SOT up to even 8 hours ( mainly wifi) on internet stuffs with no gaming
Great display ( I use max resolution) and great camera too
Have no significant problems with it till now. Phone is super smooth with no noticeable lags.
My unit doesn't have the pink tint problem

You set the higbest resolution? Is it necessary or are there any visible difference?

Yes ...why not use the best since is there. There is a slight difference but that depends on individual assessment

Is Hard Reset is a must for s8/s8+ ? mine haven't hard reset yet..and do hard reset will wipe out all my data ?
*
I had never even bother to hard reset since day one. Some said is best during any firmware update but I don't believe in such stuffs. I had been using android since first nexus one and I don't see such need. Yes hard reset will wipe all your data. I will only do hard reset if phone is acting weird with example frequent freezes

testing new samsung wireless charger convertible...

Result:
Charging time: 12a.m. - 6.a.m.
Battery charged: from 1%~~~~~~39% only

OMG
*
Are you using original charger N cable ?
That is terribly bad. For me it takes about 2.5 hours from 5% to close full.
BTW what does 'convertible ' mean
Your charger could be defective??
I am still using the fast wireless charger with built in fan from Note7 days
The unit that came free is still inside the box

Personally point 5 I am not too agreeable with him. I find the edge sense dissapointing to use and I had now disable it. It isn't fast and responsive as I would like it.

I would like to keep the U11 as my main daily driver if it's display size is at least 6 inches. For now it will be still the S8+

What is edge sense?

That is the squeeze of the sides to launch certain selected app. I find it a gimmick only and not so practical
