  • Welcome to the massive Samsung Galaxy S8 Review. This might be the longest video I've ever uploaded. Will you be buying the Galaxy S8?
    The Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus is likely the current Android champ but no smartphone is perfect... In this review I aim to show you the good, the bad and the ugly when it comes to the Samsung Galaxy S8. The goal with this review is to give you as much information as possible.
    This review should apply to both the Samsung Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus as I'm referencing both throughout. The Only difference between the S8 and S8 Plus is screen size and battery size.
    Thanks for watching my Samsung Galaxy S8 review!

    This is one of the longest (if not longest) video I've ever uploaded to RUclips. Thanks for your support on this, I wanted to put together a comprehensive video to offer maximum clarity regarding my thoughts on the Galaxy S8. If you guys would like to see these comprehensive breakdowns on future high-profile products let me know by leaving a thumbs up on the video. Also, please try to watch as much of the video as possible before leaving a comment... There's a good chance I covered whatever you're wondering about at some point in the 30+ minutes. Lastly, positive stuff is in the first half of the video and negative stuff is in the second half sooooo if you're a brand specific fanboy/girl please view accordingly.

      Unbox Therapy you're at a point in life where you need to take criticism from the ones that you look up to and not the ones who look up to you. You are an icon and everything you'll do will sometimes be criticised for no reason at all. But don't care bro. I love the content and I love the enthusiasm. This channel makes me updated with a world of tech and that too without all the bullshit technical jargon.

    Hey, I thought the video was very good and gave a well rounded opinion. The only problem I have as a viewer and subscriber of your channel is that you and every other tech RUclipsr aren't giving the Bixby assistant a chance. I believe the point of the video was to review the phone in it's entirety. I want to know more about Bixby assistant and see if it may actually be more useful to me based on how I use my phone. Nonetheless, this was still a great video and I will keep watching.

    I honestly don't know why everyone gives him so much hate for being truthful and honest if he kept lying about different phones then people went out to buy the phone then he would also get hate for that. Let him be honest without criticism or he will feel pressured to lie about different phones.

      The S7 just dropped in price btw and is almost the same thing as the S8. Just badder. It's still considered an almost flawless phone though. I got it recently and it's pretty great. Especially with Nougat. Try it if you don't want to pay as much for the S8. It's pretty expensive and I won't be getting it unless there's some deal.

    I actually have s8 since last month and i really enjoy it, its big, right but the fingerprint button is such a nerving thing for me cuz sometimes it works properly and sometimes not, and it has a bad spot so thats - for me.
    But display is just wow, cant say more because display is godly level and its so beautiful.
    Up to camera, its sharp and really great in making normal photos or selfies so im amazed.
    But the worst thing is the durability when dropped, its so thin glass you need to watch out for it, it can crash really easy so hold it tight in your hands and dont let to drop this phone.
    This is my first samsung in my life because i have mostly used sony xperia phones and thats my first flagship phone too, after i started my work career i was able to purchase one s8 too and until now im really happy with this phone.
    I rate this phone 9/10 because the only one - is the fingerprint button. If you want this phone, then buy it cuz its worth it.

      Michael Panggabean There's a huge difference there; you require jailbreak to do that on the iPhone, the third party app to remap buttons on the S8 is readily available on the play store and doesn't require root. You choosing to pointlessly limit yourself doesn't make it not a selling feature of the official S8...

    • @gandaruvu
      @gandaruvu 7 лет назад

      Asprob 25 fuck dude. I was at the electronic store and I forgot to check it out. While the industrial design is not as "nice" as the Sammy, the xz prem does sound like a badass phone.
      I'll have to check it out.

      Asprob 25 very true, up to this point the xz is likely the best, but sony doesn't have the billions for marketing, in fact only apple does spend more than samsung for advertisement

    I love the way he does videos. I just got an S8+ today and wasn't so sure how I felt but after watching this I feel more confident. Plus there was a deal I got it for 500

      GorillaTech or so that for people that don't know the difference automatically have it at the lower setting (for battery savings like you said)

    Lou, even though the S8 packs a bigger faster processor, it won't be as power hungry since the process is smaller and newer. It will use less power than the previous generation.

    • @cesararzola8380

      Lambda the problem is not the processor but the screen. Bigger means more power consumption

    • @wwesuperstar1100

      cesar arzola super amoled uses almost no power compared to older screens

    • @madiebon_5440
      @madiebon_5440 7 лет назад

      The difference is extremely minimal due to AMOLED technology. In essence, since the resolution is no bigger than the S7s screen, and since the screen can shut off individual pixels, battery life isn't affected. Lew didn't even mention the screen when talking about battery. He mentioned the processor. Which, again, as I said, has a smaller process making it SAVE battery life. The only reason the S8 will have less battery life than the S7, is that because it packs a smaller battery due to its thinness.
