i haven't buy it yet. interested to buy it since the price for S8+ drop so much now. been reading some reviews that they're experiencing some lags and stutters. that's why i'm asking if the those things are bearable or maybe can covered by other features.

price dropped alot meh??? i asked around all 3.5k like that. second hand unit around 3k

Anyone using ringke invisible defender sp? How is it? Been using naked for 2 weeks... biggrin.gif
*
Using xone sp here. For me it need some time to adapt coz it will have some minor "grainy" screen when u have white background like forums and also whatsapp. Other than that it is clear.

My phone has been naked for 3 days while waiting for the order to arrive. So the transition from naked to something on screen needs time to adapt. But the good thing is it is softer to touch and easier to clean. Coz it is tpu sp. Quite hard to find a good nonglass sp that is clear as naked

Mine naked since mid may . Tested the supplied Samsung SP but took it off after less than 2 weeks. My phone is in flipcase and seriously I dont like having any SP on all my phones. I had been warned zillion tines that I am taking a risk. Well I had never had any hairline scratch for past 8+years on all.my phones. Some users even go to extent to protect camera n finger print ??? Seriously just unbelievable to me!!
*
Well im actually one of them. Getting a tempered glass for camera. End up broke it while trying to apply it. So i am consoling myself that putting a glass could only reduce the clarity of the camera. So nono.. thanks to u i felt bettee even more biggrin.gif

but its all depends on the person on how abusive he is to his phone..

Clearing cache does help to improve smoothness in the phone. I did mine yesterday and was my first time since early May I got the phone. No data is lost clearing it.
Press vol up n bixby button first follow by power button simultaneously. Release power button once you see bootup. Release both bixby and volup buttons once you see android mascot. You might sees command error. Just press volup to access the recovery menu. Select wipe cache and press power button to select.

Hope can pin this on first page. Good sharing from uncle benny

QUOTE(benny888 @ Jul 30 2017, 09:58 AM)
This only clear cache. Device maintenance does more I think. Anyway is a way for those who just need to clear cache. I use another app sd maid pro for cleansing too - corpse files removal, system and app leftover junks
*
Wah i never know sd maid still alive. I remembered i used last time was my htc sensation era


Any best charging cable u guys can recommend ? Budget less than 30myr

They have their own charger. Some bundle with cables, and some only charger.
Myself using Qc3.0 dua port aukey charger with blitzwolf and additional cable from aukey.

Search lazada from seller unipro.my; Official authorized distributor for aukey, anker and tronsmart.

Blitzwolf can be purchased Banggood website.

blitzwolf, aukey and tronsmort. which is better? or just same?

i see blitzwolf from banggood slightly cheaper

Aukey braided cable kinda hard/stiff compared to Anker and Blitzwolf.
Durability not sure coz I just owned it like 2 months but all feel like can last for very long period of time.

It seems i read some reviews claiming that "choose the right USB type C" or not u might fried your phone..

I just entered to type C zone... care to enlighten me about this? what they trying to say? I thought all type C cable are compatible to all type C supported devices? laugh.gif

It won't fried your phone but your charger only
This is just an old issue that cropped out during first USBC phones such as Nexus6p. I don't think modern cables these days had such problem anymore

I bet most of the S8+ users here will not able to resist their temptation to buy the new Note 8 in 3 weeks time due to much better camera specification. Maybe now is the best time to sell your S8+. biggrin.gif
*
based on the "near to real" rumours, the second camera is 3x zoom lens. Even most of phone enthusiast are mindf*ck literally of what samsung trying to do.

Otherwise the hardware spec of note 8 is similar to the s8/s8+

Just extra camera, stylus pen , perhaps bigger screen / battery.

estimated note 8 would be 4k range
