QUOTE(Max2006 @ Mar 4 2018, 03:12 PM) Nothing new. Samsung always conserved their own processor Exynos power in order to match with Snapdragon variant. This practise will continue until Samsung ends its contract with Snapdragon. once it ends time to unleash the hidden power

Sorry, Quick noob question, for the Samsung trade up program right. Do we need to have the box and accessories as well or is the phone alone enough?

QUOTE(taf89 @ Mar 4 2018, 02:09 PM) Whatever processors they throw in, it will be more than good and fast enough for the usual FB, Intagram, Whatsapp, Emails and handling calls. Its only how power efficient they make their processor to be which would be the main concern. This post has been edited by TOMEI-R: Mar 4 2018, 04:14 PM

QUOTE(attw @ Mar 4 2018, 11:29 AM) When I see the 128GB one hit 3.1k then I’ll fire  Wah.. that would be pushing it. People just bought and haven't even got their phones yet leh. QUOTE(kding2 @ Mar 4 2018, 01:47 PM) Indeed. Since I always holding my phone with my left phone, using my left finger to unlock the Note 8 is extremely fast and convenient. I once saw my friend opening his J7 with finger print in front, the gesture of his finger looks awkwardly funny to me. Left hand holding the phone and his right thumb putting on the front sensor to unlock the phone. Don't look very elegant to me.  I don't see a need for the on screen fingerprint sensors as well.

QUOTE(attw @ Mar 4 2018, 02:35 PM) Benchmarks don’t mean anything. As long as the phone works for you with no lags running the apps that you frequently use, then I don’t think you should worry too much about this type or article.

Most normal users will not see or feel any difference Our senses limit us to how fast we can feel or see It only gives a feel good factor to those using a higher powered chipset.

I’m using a phone that’s currently on top of all the benchmarks and to be honest the experience isn’t noticeably faster than the phones five or six levels down the charts.

QUOTE(Kagekiyo @ Mar 4 2018, 02:22 PM) As a Pixel 2 XL user, i was able to have a quick hands on demo with the Samsung S9+ in person while at Gandaria City Mall (Jakarta) at the flagship Samsung Retail store and i walked away pretty impressed by the variable aperture setting.During my short time tinkering with the pro mode, i have to say i was pretty impressed with how it handled white balance although sometimes it was a hit or miss. Time will tell how this new hardware feature will ultimately play out to the average and pro consumers hands. What's nice about it?
