Correct me if im wrong, but they put out those warnings for brightness before the whole note incident. It's not a lack of confidence, its a genuine warning because people like better battery life, and it also warns you that is can cause eye strain.
IlIlI too much bright and too low bright is not good for the eyes. Straining your eyes with too low bright is not also good because you are trying to see the text on your phone even it is really hard to see. Anything too much is not always good :)
Still using my S8+, and loving it. Verizon keeps wanting me to trade it in on the S9+. Why? This phone is still working fine. And the latest update.... awesome.
@@uno9331, now I'm getting a pinkish color toward center of the screen, and down the edges. Like a thin pinkish line. Barely noticable, but noticable. My wife has the same phone, but doesn't have this problem yet. Probably something covered by my warranty. Still love the phone.
@@Frank-jg4tq Unfortunately that happen's ALL THE TIME with AMOLED displays. I've been a Galaxy user since the S3...also the Note line, and almost every one of them develop burn in at some point in their life span.
The thing with the brightness bar is also in the s7. Its gets red to warn you that it will consume more battery and that it can strain youre eyes. Thats why it gets red.
i just converted to an s8 after strictly only using the iPhone, and i don't think I'm going to use an iPhone for AWHILE. this phone is fantastic! it blows my mind everytime i fuck around with it. so glad i made the switch.
just got the s8 probably 2 hours ago and the video aspect ratio has been fixed, this is probably super old news to everyone but I just wanted to say coming from an iPhone user, having the whole front be a screen is stunning!
Thinking of making the switch as well. I have an iPhone 6 I've had an iPhone since the iPhone 5 came out. But I really love the way this phone looks and the features it has.
Dude you sound like you hate the device. The S8 is currently the best phone out there as far as I know. You always have some kind of issue with the phone. But when you review other phones, you don't critique them the way you critique this phone. Idk, it just seems unfair to samsung when it's currently the best phone out there.
OP is obviously very biased towards the S8, S8 provides that option to push for maximized customization and truly personalize your own device. Whats wrong with that? it gives new benchmark device users an idea on how their phone operates. Some users may not even know that turning on brightness on max could effect their battery life, educating them by displaying a simple warning is just a friendly reminder and could be educational to most minorities. what the fuck is this guy complaining about? Any small innovation is still an innovation, isn't that what android is all about? at least its better than apple marketing outdated technology. and yes, with new technology, comes with high price. Is not for everybody, but it sure is better than buying an iphone for around the same price.
Most people who have iPhones love it because is simpler than android. If you know how to optimize your android device it never gets laggy or slow, is just that people is too lazy to do even that, get the fuck out that laziness and think.
I think imma switch to Samsung way cheaper and looks so much better than iPhone shit if only apple made the notch sooner I would of stayed but they expensive af now might have to switch to the s8
It's David No ! What I think XboxPlays742 means is that Apple asked Samsung to build and install the panel in the iPhone X . Also that was my point in the first place
Also, they used slightly smaller batteries *because* of the note 7 issues... and these advanced warnings about battery life and optimization are to squeeze more usable time out of a slightly smaller battery.
the warning is just with the new update android 7.0 on my s6 edge, he is not even trying to find out, is like he got pay to talk trash about the phone even before he got it he was complaining about it
SirFrag32 these are lithium polymer batteries hook one up to something and discharge it at a faster rate and then see what happens for yourself. Shitsung themselves are not confident in their products but they want you to pay for them still.
The question is why that warning appears in the first place. No other phone manufacturer has done this... Kinda makes me subconsciously think its gonna break if used at max brightness
He made it sound like you were damaging the phone or reducing its lifespan which is not true. As most people know the brighter the display the more batter power you use therefore you will need to charge it more often. You technically would be reducing the actual battery lifespan but not the phone itself. Batteries are cheap compared to the cost of a new S8.
I'm happy they have the high performance button, if I'm playing a game and it lags I can decrease resolution. No phone has ever done this before. Edit: Y'all can atop telling me that other phones have it. I know now
If you send me that galaxy s8 i'll take you fishing on my boat here in the Florida Keys. Cmon you know that's a fair trade! I just had mine stolen and need it for my fishing videos! Cheers =)
Hey man, AirPods cost $160 and are not so expensive comparing them with other truly wireless earbuds. Not to mention all the sensors and technologies put into them. Have a nice one.
Meanwhile at Apple : the removed headphone Jack gave us so much money ! let's remove the charging port and tilt the camera and let the front of the phone look like a cheap Alcatel from 2012
One would think after all that unboxing this guy might know resolution downscale is a brilliant idea cause no one needs 4k for texting, tweeting or spotify.
Congrats, this is the stupidest comment I've ever seen. You can text and tweet on a monochrome LCD display too. But we don't use those anymore because people want pretty, high=resolution user interfaces. Nobody in their right mind is going to choose to make their phone look shittier by turning down the resolution.
DeFy Noah You need to go back to school, screens are based on, isoptics and panoptics for perfect eye acuity.. which this device exceeds by a huge marging.. the only moment you can take advantage of those numbers here, is while playing off focus HiRes media.. designed to have the phone located at 2 inches from your face which account for less than 0.1% of the usage and content all around.
probably most usefull for VR, which is probably the reason they put the high resolution display on it even if its not driven at that resolution during normal use. Would not be surprised if it automatically increases the resolution if you launch a VR application.
The only time Lew gives an honest review is when he doesn't get money from Amazon Associates (Amazon link in description= $$$ from each buyer that uses that link) :( this show became all about money now, even the "Does it Suck" series is super fake now. #BringBackTheOldLew
Such a weird title, Does it suck? That title would make sense if the Galaxy S8 had been getting critical reviews. Take for instance Mass effect Andromeda, which had been receiving many critical reviews. It would make sense to have a title called "Mass effect Andromeda does it suck?" Since most people are probably asking that exact question. However when you have an smartphone which has been the top android device(revenue wise) for years, it just seems odd to have that as a title. It's like saying "The iPhone 8(or 10 whatever)how bad is it?"
If by options you mean iPhone clones ... sure. I've been with Samsung for generations of Android phones and only lose options in favor of a sleek iPhone competitor at every iteration.
No No what Savage phone are you even using? Even a second hand android phone I got for like 40$ lasted a week when idle when I was out of town with just 5% battery loss and it lasts a whole day with medium usage!
this is my input on the screen resolution(Please don't be offended ) I think that it should be released at fhd because most people that buy phones are mainly for work so they want best battery life it's all for daily use last through the whole day but most people won't know unless your a geek about phones and watch videos on it then u can change it if putting it up helps you out more. but for the people that don't know they will complain about battery life and not know that u can change it down to save even more battery that's why I think they have it released like that
Well, how about this novel idea... being that it's a "smart phone", it could have been programmed by those brainiacs at Samsung with an optional feature to "auto-friggin-dymamically" adjust its resolution on the fly based on certain woodoo-magic parameters. In simpler terms, to be able to adjust its resolution on the fly possibly per app based on the screen usage/demand parameters set by the user. For example your're composing a text message, downscale it. Watching some incredibly exciting porn, well UP scale it, if you get my humor. Any takers?!
If you have a case on the S8, for me personally atleast it helps you guide your finger to the finger print scanner so you fall right onto it automatically everytime, and there are also apps in the Google Play Store that allows you to remap the Bixby button.
I know right. He's complaining about battery size, but not about the relevant, which is battery life. If battery life is better than S7 edge for instance, then who gives a fuck if the battery's smaller? Also with the screen aspect ratio, RUclips videos are going to look fine, but watching movies on it will be even better now that the black bars are smaller because the screen is wider. What I'm trying to say that he was only giving the negative side of things without even considering the positive, which just makes it obvious that he just wanted to give a negative impression of it.
I've had Samsung Galaxy S6 for 3 years now and in a week I will finally get a new one. Will be so weird not to have the original home, back, and the overlay button, but I just cannot wait! Thank you for making this video, helped me a lot of choosing the S8
All Apple fanboys coming here with excitement due to the 'title' of the video, but returning disappointed due to the conclusion: "NO, It does NOT suck"!!!! :)
AlphaChaser it actually is but most are misinformed. like for example the s8 camera actually is a different camera sensor then the S7 . S7 had imx260 the s8 is the imx333 other then that Bluetooth got upgraded to 5.0 first phone with that, the Snapdragon chip was upgraded to 8835 first phone with that, the front camera was upgraded to 8mp ,the image processing was upgraded, the chasis of the phone is upgrade and more polished ,the USB connection was upgraded to type C , the screen size was upgraded, touchwiz was upgraded and more like the pixel ,,iris and facial recognition was added ,bixby was added, the Dex pc experience was added ,the headphones are akg headphones ,the screen resolution was bumped up to QHD+, and a few more things but I'm tired of typing lol 😂
Just because it's a galaxy doesn't necessarily mean that it's better! I currently have a galaxy but im looking for innovation and accessibility. So I'm curious to hear what Lew has to say about them both since he has been fiddling around with both :) The possibilities are endless! 🙂
Before making a review video, maybe you should be more knowledgeable on the topic. For instance, 80% of your video was software features which are already present in the S7 and S7 Edge due to the Nougat update; i.e. WQHD, Performance mode, +10% brightness, Screen filter, etc. Although you did mention some hardware components which is fine. Next time, try to focus your review more on things such as performance, hardware, camera and actual daily usage results such as battery, temperature and the alike.
The only drawback I've heard so far about the 18.9 aspect is the video black bars. Seems trivial considering the many added benefits. Plus it's not a shortcoming of the hardware just a discrepancy in media formats. There was a time when 16.9 was new. Bummed they didn't add a second speaker tho.
Phreshmints I've never actually had lag on an android phone when it came to RUclips. even on 720. It could just be the Wi-Fi connection moreso than the actual phone. With a VPN I get no lag and without a super fast VPN I still have not experienced any lag. only lag I've seen is usually on weekends in the early evenings. That's mainly due to the wi-fi router competes with other routers for bandwidth. Which happens in areas where everyone is using Wi-Fi
Using this phone for almost two years... haven't faced any issue that you pointed out. And have never felt that the fingerprint scanner is out of place. Its a little getting used to, that's it. That's the problem with this generation. Everyone wants everything tailor made for them. Great phone and not planning to change any time soon.
I have the Galaxy S6 edge+ for almost 2 years and the other day I left it on my car's roof and drove a half mile until I heard something...my phone had hit the road and cracked! I am so sad bc it was so perfect before that and now it's time to get a new one bc the LCD and front glass are fucking up. I think the S8 is worth it bc they're trying to charge me $350 to fix it and I told them yeet.
ok so 1440p is no ground breaking resolution its on every Samsung phone sense 2011, also apple had a worse problem than Samsung when it came to "exploding" phones look it up. On that topic lets not forget apple covered it up because they didn't want their name damaged, Samsung however admitted there was a problem for the sake of their customers safety.
Malik Jardine no they never fixed it seeing as even the 7 is doing it too apple has no concern for their customers except for the money in their pocket

Not Poisoned Aleks true my s7 edge has the warning which it tells you why it's warning you about eye strain and the screen resolution is for battery life too,give me the s8 and I'll make a decent review instead of this pointless effort.
Would you ever consider flying out a fan so we could make a video together? I admire your video edits, and you know how to just speak to the camera without being awkward and Id like to find a way to get used to that, plus loads of other things to learn. Keep up the amazing work man, best tech channel Im subscribed to.
Why aren't any reviewers talking about how the thinner phone width makes for a better one hand experience. Literally none. Isn't that the whole point to why Samsung even made this aspect ratio? Seems like a huge thing to not talk about.
The point is the grip during one hand typing. You don't have to pull down the notification for every instance you use the phone. Regardless though, not a single reviewer has demonstrated one hand operation on the S8.
O at least samsung is being innovative rather than ifruit's "innovative" way. lol "let's make a red color for this phone. this will change the world!" -ifruit
Sadata Raju Delos Santos Stop using the word innovative. The original iPhone was innovative and was the buildingbrick for every smartphone ever since. Stfu Sheep
Yada Yada go watch the red iPhone video please,he actually criticize apple more than any android device,and he also likes Google pixel the most,plus his last two phones were android.
I have this phone 1 year later. It is a really good phone. He complained so much that it bugged me. One thing that does bugs me about the phone is the lack of stereo speakers. I'm happy that he appreciated it in the end. ❤
I've used the s8 for so long now, I never accidentally put my finger on the camera, I never accidentally toggle the edge panel while on other apps, very good phone.
stop complaining, still remember the first time iPhone 5 released? yup there's black bar on top on the screen because apps still doesnt support of them.
I work at Best Buy & I always find myself playing with this phone in my spare time. It feels great in the hand and the design is startling. Great phone!

DeFy Noah You need to go back to school, screens are based on, isoptics and panoptics for perfect eye acuity.. which this device exceeds by a huge marging.. the only moment you can take advantage of those numbers here, is while playing off focus HiRes media.. designed to have the phone located at 2 inches from your face which account for less than 0.1% of the usage and content all around.
probably most usefull for VR, which is probably the reason they put the high resolution display on it even if its not driven at that resolution during normal use. Would not be surprised if it automatically increases the resolution if you launch a VR application.
I'm watching this on a galaxy s8+
I said the same thing about the galaxy s7 but now I have a galaxy s8+
Francisco torres would you mind sending me 900 dollars of your money? thank you
Same
S8 plus or s9
The only time Lew gives an honest review is when he doesn't get money from Amazon Associates (Amazon link in description= $$$ from each buyer that uses that link) :( this show became all about money now, even the "Does it Suck" series is super fake now. #BringBackTheOldLew
To clarify I'm talking about other videos where he's fake, this video he seems honest but surprise surprise there's no Amazon link in the desc.
Such a weird title, Does it suck? That title would make sense if the Galaxy S8 had been getting critical reviews. Take for instance Mass effect Andromeda, which had been receiving many critical reviews. It would make sense to have a title called "Mass effect Andromeda does it suck?" Since most people are probably asking that exact question. However when you have an smartphone which has been the top android device(revenue wise) for years, it just seems odd to have that as a title. It's like saying "The iPhone 8(or 10 whatever)how bad is it?"
Taon Sauls clickbait, maybe??
Lou has done a series for a while called 'does it suck'. he actually did one on a Dyson v8 slim vac which... you know.
it's a series
Taon Sauls your a tool
AdsorbentBoot3 ok cool, I did not know that.
Tom seems to be dead inside
And outside
same
Dead on the inside and outside? That's dead!
Renaissance Ear-Candy but that's me
Dear diary,
today I learned that I'm actually dead.
I watched this on the s8 and it was fine even without the bezels
He refers to the S8 Plus. On the normal S8, it's fine.
@@zacvee7255 S8, S8+, S9, and S9+ have the same ratio
I see.
undertaker retires...oops wrong video
salman afzal I'm sad that Undertaker retired
salman afzal You said whaaaaaaaaaat
and Hardy Boyz back
salman afzal good one 😂😂
Look at his age man..
The whole point of Android is giving us various options...... Sooooo
If by options you mean iPhone clones ... sure. I've been with Samsung for generations of Android phones and only lose options in favor of a sleek iPhone competitor at every iteration.
Paul Meyer Samsung is the only Android manufacturer?
yeaaaa by not giving you what they actually advertise and what you buy for.......and if you use it, its a battery killer...
in 10 min the battery goes down 10% gg.
No No what Savage phone are you even using? Even a second hand android phone I got for like 40$ lasted a week when idle when I was out of town with just 5% battery loss and it lasts a whole day with medium usage!
this is my input on the screen resolution(Please don't be offended ) I think that it should be released at fhd because most people that buy phones are mainly for work so they want best battery life it's all for daily use last through the whole day but most people won't know unless your a geek about phones and watch videos on it then u can change it if putting it up helps you out more. but for the people that don't know they will complain about battery life and not know that u can change it down to save even more battery that's why I think they have it released like that
char _8 good point
That is true. No point of using the full resolution at all time.
char _8 hope you know that you now have an option to lower the resolution to 720p
Well, how about this novel idea... being that it's a "smart phone", it could have been programmed by those brainiacs at Samsung with an optional feature to "auto-friggin-dymamically" adjust its resolution on the fly based on certain woodoo-magic parameters. In simpler terms, to be able to adjust its resolution on the fly possibly per app based on the screen usage/demand parameters set by the user. For example your're composing a text message, downscale it. Watching some incredibly exciting porn, well UP scale it, if you get my humor. Any takers?!
Bill A b
STILL USING MY S8+ I LOVE THIS DEVICE
I have the s7 edge and I don't think I need to upgrade. I think I will wait until the s9 tbh
js
Marcos Amparo I wish I had the S7 but I'll wait till the S11 myb I'll be able 2 afford it then 😧
Sinenhlanhla Shange Nah just wait till the S20. I heard it was very affordable
Marcos Amparo hmmm yeah myb 😞
Same
If you have a case on the S8, for me personally atleast it helps you guide your finger to the finger print scanner so you fall right onto it automatically everytime, and there are also apps in the Google Play Store that allows you to remap the Bixby button.
Just ordered the S8 I'll have it delivered from Ups tomorrow I got it in midnight Black
I got silver 😍😍
Bradley Jones I ordered mine today and im getting it in arctic silver.
Asasinboyplayz ENJOY! ? At least it’s better than an iphone
Stuck between getting midnight black or orchid grey 😫
Bradley Jones how do you like it??
There's actually a way to disable the swipe feature for Bixby ......
Crack the whole screen until it doesn't work......
Or setting if you want but I prefer your method
All I have to say is LONG LIVE THE GALAXY NOTE 4!
cruzernator I'm using one right now lol
cruzernator Note 4 and LG G4 for the win most under rated phones.
E Pupz the battery of the lg g4 sucks
you won't say that anymore after Note 8 release, it will be double of Note 4
4 x 2 = 8 _recognize that??_
Athaariq Ardiansyah ummmmm you mean minus the IR blaster and removable battery :)
Wow! This video isn't biased at all! -_-
3.14159265359 samsung use to sponsor him last year...but this year they cut him off..now he's mad and talking shit
3.14159265359 PI ❤❤
I know right. He's complaining about battery size, but not about the relevant, which is battery life. If battery life is better than S7 edge for instance, then who gives a fuck if the battery's smaller?
Also with the screen aspect ratio, RUclips videos are going to look fine, but watching movies on it will be even better now that the black bars are smaller because the screen is wider. What I'm trying to say that he was only giving the negative side of things without even considering the positive, which just makes it obvious that he just wanted to give a negative impression of it.
3.14159265359 ikr
Hurrah! Thank you! They're shit, overpriced phones. Glad you regret your life choice!
Samsung has kicked apple's ass
And apple gotta do something bigger and worth money not the shit the r doing
like putting back the headphone jack?
Lemme guess, still using a wired mouse and wired keyboard, right?
Was that supposed to be an insult?
lol what, best mechanical keyboards and quality mice are wired.
Gary just got pwned. prolly a hipster that doesn't know shit. rofl
I've had Samsung Galaxy S6 for 3 years now and in a week I will finally get a new one. Will be so weird not to have the original home, back, and the overlay button, but I just cannot wait! Thank you for making this video, helped me a lot of choosing the S8
Why do a Does it Suck video instead of S8 first look?
The MalWare Could it be to attract attention from the viewers?
Not really much of a difference, it's more exciting in a way.
Cus making video with the caption 'First Look' is the most generic shit there is on RUclips.
The MalWare II
Z.
I'm here with the
I can do
With this youtube ad situation it's probably more important than ever to have an eye catching click worthy title now
low key hating
Jovann Ray he an apple fanboy
rafael lariosa he doesn’t use iPhone
No he use cricket phones af
rafael lariosa he basically blew out the iPhone X hahahahaha. I think he is neutral or he is just objective.
A little late but the GS8 was his daily and he even recommended it over the s8+ and note 8
All Apple fanboys coming here with excitement due to the 'title' of the video, but returning disappointed due to the conclusion: "NO, It does NOT suck"!!!! :)
But it ain't Great either 😂😂😂
^
Ethan Huntt fuck apple and all its fans, just dummys pumping apple full of cash, all apple does is take trash and put and apple stmap on it
Android is million times better than the Quantity over quality iPhone
Why do people who like apple have to be upset just because another phone is also decent? That makes no sense man lol.
You've got a LOT of personality. Love your videos and I will be watching more!
The blue light filter is on Nougat...Has nothing to do with the S8.
first came with Grace UI .... before Nougat
Really? Where is it? Please tell me.
K Black I have the s6edge+ and I just pull the notifications screen all the way down and you'll see the blue light filter .
Najalene oh I see, I thought it was on vanilla Android. thank you by the way. ^^
It looks great, but I think I'll stick with my S7 for now
ThatOnePCGamer I still have a s6 lol id like the s8 though
Emmanauel Wood there's not really anything too new on the s8 if you are a current samsung owner
i'll say wait for the s9
Emmanauel Wood s6 is still a awesome phone in every aspect.
AlphaChaser it actually is but most are misinformed.
like for example the s8 camera actually is a different camera sensor then the S7 .
S7 had imx260 the s8 is the imx333
other then that Bluetooth got upgraded to 5.0 first phone with that, the Snapdragon chip was upgraded to 8835 first phone with that, the front camera was upgraded to 8mp ,the image processing was upgraded, the chasis of the phone is upgrade and more polished ,the USB connection was upgraded to type C , the screen size was upgraded, touchwiz was upgraded and more like the pixel ,,iris and facial recognition was added ,bixby was added, the Dex pc experience was added ,the headphones are akg headphones ,the screen resolution was bumped up to QHD+, and a few more things but I'm tired of typing lol 😂
My question is, S8 or Pixel? lol I'd love to hear your comparisons between them Lew!
JoJo Richards me to
the S8 costs 50 bucks more just buy it
Pixel 2 coming later this year
Just because it's a galaxy doesn't necessarily mean that it's better! I currently have a galaxy but im looking for innovation and accessibility. So I'm curious to hear what Lew has to say about them both since he has been fiddling around with both :) The possibilities are endless! 🙂
JoJo Richards well he still chooses to daily a pixel
It's funny in 2020 that he calls the aspect ratio "bizarre"
this vid was from 2017
I'm so excited I preordered the s8 plus
Adventure is Great That's cool man. Hope you enjoy your brand new s8 plus. I'm getting the S8 soon as well.
Maleek Diab awesome what color are you getting
idk, probably black! 😉
Maleek Diab Nice that's what I'm getting 😎
ok cool 😉
Before making a review video, maybe you should be more knowledgeable on the topic. For instance, 80% of your video was software features which are already present in the S7 and S7 Edge due to the Nougat update; i.e. WQHD, Performance mode, +10% brightness, Screen filter, etc. Although you did mention some hardware components which is fine. Next time, try to focus your review more on things such as performance, hardware, camera and actual daily usage results such as battery, temperature and the alike.
Lew Doesn't Even Game on it. Starts Review 50% Ends Review 43% As a Samsung Fanboy I'm Scared..
When watching on youtube you can zoom in on s8 lol
Placing the new S8 on the "does it suck "series is real mistake.
I have ordered the s8 plus in orchid gray 😀
wtf
same
I have it
Same, just now!
same :D
Still love my S8! It's fast, battery life is still really good and the screen is awesome.
I just got the galaxy s8 and so I watched this video again so that I could feel good about myself.
Lmao at 6:58
"I heard McDonald's is hiring. You ever flip a burger?"
The only drawback I've heard so far about the 18.9 aspect is the video black bars. Seems trivial considering the many added benefits. Plus it's not a shortcoming of the hardware just a discrepancy in media formats. There was a time when 16.9 was new. Bummed they didn't add a second speaker tho.
Mike Franklin yeah and the s8 can zoom in RUclips videos to fill the screeb,
Mike Franklin what benefits? Not being able to reach the top of the screen when using one hand?
Ban Ashrack allready cant so idc
Lee Cason Yeah but that stretches the videos, so you won't be able to see the full size of the video as intended.
I have a question..
should I upgrade from an iPhone 6s+ to an S8+??
ΚVП yaes
ΚVП Sure
Phreshmints I've never actually had lag on an android phone when it came to RUclips. even on 720. It could just be the Wi-Fi connection moreso than the actual phone. With a VPN I get no lag and without a super fast VPN I still have not experienced any lag. only lag I've seen is usually on weekends in the early evenings. That's mainly due to the wi-fi router competes with other routers for bandwidth. Which happens in areas where everyone is using Wi-Fi
Spazbandicoot I never had a problem watching RUclips with my Xperia Z2, super smooth. One of the best phones i ever had btw.
ΚVП Yes
Using this phone for almost two years... haven't faced any issue that you pointed out. And have never felt that the fingerprint scanner is out of place. Its a little getting used to, that's it. That's the problem with this generation. Everyone wants everything tailor made for them. Great phone and not planning to change any time soon.
"Does it suck"?... well for 900$ it better do ...
sagar mishra its 750.
joe in us?
it's 750 for s8, 850 for the +.
Leon Camero and there is option 64 gb or 1... 256?
I have the Galaxy S6 edge+ for almost 2 years and the other day I left it on my car's roof and drove a half mile until I heard something...my phone had hit the road and cracked! I am so sad bc it was so perfect before that and now it's time to get a new one bc the LCD and front glass are fucking up. I think the S8 is worth it bc they're trying to charge me $350 to fix it and I told them yeet.
Tomiņš Are you still deciding. Because I could give you unbiased reasons as to why pick samsung.
I WAS FINE UNTIL I SAW "YEET." I LOST IT FROM THERE.
HOW THE F PHONE GOT ON ROOF !?
Demre093 wtf is yeet
i can get new S6 EDGE plus with that ridiculous price. lol
ok so 1440p is no ground breaking resolution its on every Samsung phone sense 2011, also apple had a worse problem than Samsung when it came to "exploding" phones look it up. On that topic lets not forget apple covered it up because they didn't want their name damaged, Samsung however admitted there was a problem for the sake of their customers safety.
But we fixed it , without having to pull the phone 😃
What was wrong with the apple phones back then?
Malik Jardine no they never fixed it seeing as even the 7 is doing it too apple has no concern for their customers except for the money in their pocket
Malik Jardine no they never fixed it seeing as even the 7 is doing it too apple has no concern for their customers except for the money in their pocket
Samsung is honestly better than iPhone and I have an iPhone and I regret it badly so now I'm getting the S8
Bryson Hoaglin i’m getting the galaxy note 8, hope it’s good!
Same
Why is he focused so much on the resolution and screen thing on the S8? My S7 edge has this mode and ability to change the resolution as well.
Not Poisoned Aleks ikr
This is actually a nice feature. You can provide less gpu usage, and therefore, your battery will drain slower.
Not Poisoned Aleks wtf. it is not the option that's the problem, the problem is that the phone comes in fhd out of the box instead of qhd
Had to stop watching at that point, like its not an s8 thing, its already on s7 xd
Not Poisoned Aleks true my s7 edge has the warning which it tells you why it's warning you about eye strain and the screen resolution is for battery life too,give me the s8 and I'll make a decent review instead of this pointless effort.
S8 out like a week ago.... Lew finally uploads a 'video' perfectly about it...
The brightness warning isn't the phone it's the version of android the phone is using. My S7 Edge had an update recently and it does the same thing.
The battery/resolution thing and the blue-light filter are also the version of android in the new update I got those features for my S7 Edge.
Apple paid him,he is not doing true reviews anymore
TheOnsat not version of Android. it's a shitty Samsung thing. my pixel doesn't do that
Denis Pahor I haven't really been watching his videos recently.. how so?
James Zanghi 😂😂😂👍
1:42 Nowadays, every major tech channel fits my S8 perfectly
Good unbiased video, exactly what you'd hope to get from this channel. Keep it up Lew!
I'm here from 2yrs into the future...you not gonna believe this!
Im happy with my s8, the screen and camera are realy good.
Would you ever consider flying out a fan so we could make a video together? I admire your video edits, and you know how to just speak to the camera without being awkward and Id like to find a way to get used to that, plus loads of other things to learn. Keep up the amazing work man, best tech channel Im subscribed to.
Why aren't any reviewers talking about how the thinner phone width makes for a better one hand experience. Literally none. Isn't that the whole point to why Samsung even made this aspect ratio? Seems like a huge thing to not talk about.
tiramisu327 That aspect ratio is anything but good for one handed use. Do you realize the stretch it would take to pull the notifications down?
The point is the grip during one hand typing. You don't have to pull down the notification for every instance you use the phone. Regardless though, not a single reviewer has demonstrated one hand operation on the S8.
And I'm still stuck with a Samsung Galaxy s4
TechMasterSamsung any S3’s?
😂
Why?
"Wqhd+ isnt enabled right out of the box" fix it in 3secs, go to settings / display and put it on wqhd+?
the s9+ speakers are so so so good i personally don't need to use a bluetooth speaker anymore. even at high volumes the audio doesn't go at all crispy
Still better than the ifruit phone
Spark99 Gaming lol
Spark99 Gaming Tell us that in September when the iPhone Edition pops up and all the S8s have been recalled due to batteryproblems 😂
O at least samsung is being innovative rather than ifruit's "innovative" way. lol "let's make a red color for this phone. this will change the world!" -ifruit
My question is why people buy a locked phone
Sadata Raju Delos Santos Stop using the word innovative. The original iPhone was innovative and was the buildingbrick for every smartphone ever since. Stfu Sheep
Does anyone actually watch the video all the way through? stop whining because he said a few problems
Yada Yada go watch the red iPhone video please,he actually criticize apple more than any android device,and he also likes Google pixel the most,plus his last two phones were android.
Yada Yada no need to,I've watched his videos and his last two or three devices were android devices
Already 2019 and this appears in my recommendation but still broke asf
I have this phone 1 year later. It is a really good phone. He complained so much that it bugged me. One thing that does bugs me about the phone is the lack of stereo speakers. I'm happy that he appreciated it in the end. ❤
THE BEST SMARTPHONE that I ever used was S6 EDGE ........and stil using IT
wajahat rehman that was mines too
wajahat rehman I'm still using it right now
wajahat rehman s5 bro
s5 the best
Wait till you get your hands on the s8
Why does this dude keep hating and talking shit abt literally every phone he reviews
I feel like they should have put the s7 active beastly battery in the s8.
exactly
Makistoys they didn't want to risk anything
Aaron Cross then it would over double the battery life. The active' s battery is just amazing
I've used the s8 for so long now, I never accidentally put my finger on the camera, I never accidentally toggle the edge panel while on other apps, very good phone.
Still using man?
Why do you have a problem with your face "being out there", you make RUclips videos.
It senses depth through the camera, So you can't use a photo.
I'm buying this baby for real !!
stop complaining, still remember the first time iPhone 5 released? yup there's black bar on top on the screen because apps still doesnt support of them.
I work at Best Buy & I always find myself playing with this phone in my spare time. It feels great in the hand and the design is startling. Great phone!
I watched this and because of it I bought one. Thank you so much for doing the video!
