      unfortunately, snapdragon 835 still lacks in single core performance compared to iphone 6S. I love vanilla android but they need better and more efficient CPU's.

      photinoman That may be true, but the S8 performs better than the iPhone 7 in multi-core performance.
      At the end of the day, no one is buying an iPhone or an S8 for their benchmarks. You buy a phone for the overall experience, including OS, camera, display, customization, cool features etc.

One for me and one for my wife. This phone kicks ass. It's better than my Note 5. Yeah, I know, I can get the same, if not better, features in the Note 8. I have been an avid Note user since they came out but one thing I never actually use is the s pen and screen write features. So why note just go with the S8?....lol

    The finger print reader is the most overblown feature people are complaining about! it's literally in the perfect spot for my hand as soon as I grab my phone. You should just get a smaller phone if your hands aren't big enough. If you put a case on it too it's even more easily identifiable, because it sits right on the edge of the case where the opening is.

      Srbandara So I can explain it briefly, There's a smooth animation whenever you launch up a app let's say Google play store, it takes some time but it does look fancy right!, but when you change the animation scale down to 0.5 (from 1.0 originally) the phone will feel faster, start launching apps faster basically the fancy smooth experience that feel very slow if you are coming from Apple will be gone and it will feel more like a Apple device and feel faster (I would recommend trying and comparing from 0.5 to 1.5 so you feel what fits you the best) 👍🏼😊

    The reason why you are having a hard time using the fingerprint scanner is because you are not holding your phone with your right hand like most do... you are holding it with your left which leads me to believe you are left handed. Maybe Samsung should make it accessible for both hands to use and not in a specific place, but they wanted it to look more uniformed. I have seen the fingerprint scanner work with even half of a fingerprint by a right-handed person so it works very well.
