QUOTE(squall_kay @ Jul 17 2017, 08:36 PM) I switched from Pixel to S8. After 1 month bought another S8. Indirectly shows that I'm kinda satisfied with the phone. Does it lag? At least for me, it's comparable with Pixel and Mate9. Comparable? Indirectly saying pixel and mate 9 more superior. Haha

QUOTE(TOMEI-R @ Jul 17 2017, 07:10 PM) In the first place, get the latest Digi LTE simcard. Second, get CS on Helpline to activate it for you. I've had the VoLTE on my S7 Edge and now on my S8. Looks like Digi chat personnel dont even know his stuff.  The digi live chat people are lazy bums. Just say not compatible. I have to call hotline subsequently to activate

Hardware specs wise are comparable. Samsung doesn't want a competitor chip superior to its own house chip. LOL

Does playing game on the s8 e.g mobile legend/王者 or Waze make the phone warmer to like 40 degrees? Does the battery drain fast or feel laggy when its warm?

But the 835 was actually a codeveloped chip by both qualcomm and Samsung using Samsung's 10nm technology tho. hence, why they actually got dips on the initial stock.
