I would still rate the S8+ as my favourite phone this year vs current HTC UI, Mi Mix and ex LG G6, V20, Mate9, M9 pro, U Ultra , One plus 3T etc

any comment on the upcoming ONE PLUS 5?
*
Not attractive and appealing to me...some more with so much negative reports on LCD jelly effect, wifi issues ETC
One plus 3T however was a great phone and I would still highly recommend it

coming from htc fan boy,
the battery always draining that fast,
thats the reason i bought s8 without taking consideration for htc u11
*
I am facing high drain on U11 on overnight standby only. However on SOT I got higher by an hour+ vs my S8+
I will be doing a factory reset on U11 soon as I find strange such high drain on standby overnight.

I don't really know why you guys are wiping it few times a day only to complain it scratches later. Why not leave it just like that? I have been using my S6e fingerprint since day 1 and there's no paint chip off. My cousin who are using S7e fingerprint also have no problem.

Most definitely is user getting too paranoid about smudges and start wiping every now and then.

+1. My unit till now is pristine. I had never even bother to wipe it

I realised alot of apps running in background eating my RAM, with 1.2 free RAM available only, seriously?  sad.gif
Is that possible extend my SOt by disabling some RAM consuming apps in the background?

I never bother to check my ram. 4gb is more than enough. Unlike windows Android os will auto adjust your ram. If this concern you try use package disabler pro to freeze app you don't use at all. It will help increase free ram but I doubt it will improve SOT significantly

Currently using Mi Mix... But wanna add another collection.. U11 or op5 or xz premium or s8 plus... Any ideas?
*
OP5 too much negative reports - wait for 5T?
XZ premium looks good on specs n reviews too but I had yet to test it. I had order my unit yesterday
S8+ follow by U11 will be my current recommendation
Final decision depends on what features are more important to you

guys, exynos S8 does not support quick charge right?
Thinking of getting the Anker Powerdrive instead of Samsung's dual port car charger.
Or any other recommendations?
*
My S8+ shows fast charging with my Anker 3.0 fast charger and Anker 3.0 car fast charger too
Where did you get such info fast charging not supported?

S8+ or OP5 suggestion anyone?
S8+ price in qoo10 quite attractive for me.....

Just decide based on your needs and not your wants.
I dont have the OP5 but based on previous OP series their strengths is better smoothness and in a close pure Vanilla android OS and you will love it if you like to flash roms. Other than this I dont see how it can be better than S8+??

Guys I've attach screenshot of my s8+ battery life
"Android System" is hogging to much battery life
Battery life is a lot poorer compare to my previous 7plus
*
At 4.5 hours SOT with 24% battery left I would say is quite good already for Android. You simply cannot compare it with ip7+ which I get usage about 11 hours. Anyway the S8+ has a higher resolution display and bigger too vs ip7+. This alone will consume more power.
I had never bother with analyzing such stuffs as long as I could get minimum 5 to 6 hours on all my Androids.

Anyone using ringke invisible defender sp? How is it? Been using naked for 2 weeks... biggrin.gif

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!!
