Thanks. Will.check it out!

This is very handy edge shortcuts! I love it so much. thumbsup.gif

Using it for a week plus!

Smart Select edge panels can also do screen capture but not full screen like in Tasks Edge.

The old smart gesture, palm swipe to full screen capture still works.

I wonder if the phone can actually use all 6gb RAM... Like my P9 Lite previously, it has 3GB RAM but it can't really use more than 1.5GB before the CPU actually get overwhelmed by the process and start terminating background process...
It does feel good... Initially I dont really like it, but I guess at that time my finger was sticky... After a while, I came to love it...
I dont even understand how to use edge lighting other than it looks fancy when receive whatsapp while browsing or something.... turned the screen off facing dow , no lighting comes up...

though, I didn't face similar issue of retina unlocking...
*
Edge lighting not compatible with Whatsapp.
So far, I noticed that it works only on SMS - built-in Messages app.
I have turned it off! doh.gif

Iris unlock is also a pain in the ass for me.
I can't make it working smoothly for me.
I disabled it also. sweat.gif

Edge lighting works for me on WhatsApp and Gmail.

Third party apps?

Gmail app or Inbox app?

I'm using Inbox.

After trying, i think i prefer the stock task's edge which have more functions compared to this softkey. both also fullscreen one click capture.

I don't like the Task Edges as I seldom use those shortcut tasks they defined. laugh.gif

The fp scanner on s8 really a huge letdown. Very prone to scratches. even tho just wipe with a microfiber cloth, can scratch it already. Shud have used metals like huawei or other manufacturers.

Got picture to show? blink.gif

Im paranoid when it comes to phone  laugh.gif  laugh.gif  Just few Ringgit if i remember clearly. Btw i just bought one unit since im not entirely convinced if the fp is still going to work after applying the protector. If it works well, then i can order more and just share the shopping fees.

I bought the cam and its LEDs SP. Cost me RM 10.
Never heard of FP SP also. sleep.gif

Anybody actually pays any attention to the stock headphone?
From the review I read, it's decent above average headphone.
It's AKG tuned set. I haven't try it yet as I'm not a headphone person.

Dexterity & Interaction - Asisstant Menu is pretty handy as well.

This feature is like Apple (don't know what they call). biggrin.gif
MIUI calls Quick Ball.

use face detection to unlock.

Face unlock is less secured compared to IRIS/FP scanning.

Strength is ok with this glass. Scratch is not ok. S7e is more scratch resistant than s8. Both curved. This is common complaint of GG5

S7e is curved one side.
S8 is curved both sides.

Using samsung official SP now. So far liking it.

Tried tempered glass before but with only sides have adhesive didnt really last long.

Then also tried cheapo TPU soft type screen protector. Screen pulak not clear.

Then now using samsung official, screen is clearest i used so far. I think material is better quality TPU plastic
*
How much for Samsung SP?
I'm surprised that it performs better than 3rd party.
