I want to upgrade so bad but my S7 edge is holding up well. Plus the laziness on the camera specs and fingerprint scanner placement was a letdown. Maybe next year
Honestly I don't see a reason to upgrade every year. Fingerprint scanner was thrown in just for people's sake, iris scanner is a much better technology and is safer too.
Isa Arkan camera's the same. battery's the same. no removable battery. looks ~the same. fingerprint reader is on the BACK!!! it's way heavier. it's thicker. same RAM.
same,my mum and dad bought it for me on christmas but we pay it like some money per month so i have to wait but i will wait for a very good note 9 or 10
S8 in my opinion is the greatest phone out right now, if your contract is up or you need a new phone, its perfect. But if you've already got an s7 edge, realistically there isn't much new warranting an upgrade unless you need more screen real estate. Love both the phones but if you've got the s7 edge, you know yourself its a monster, you should just wait for the s9.
Saleh Sinokrot new processor, better image processing (new sensor check phonearena), iris scanning, facial recognition, 64gb internal,new AI which is promising,8mp AF front facing can, 99usd earphones by AKG bundled, Samsung Dex along with the futuristic design. And if you think S8 doesn't bring anything new then good luck with other brands.
deeptesh basak the new processor is just 10% faster 😑😑 and the camera hasn't improved expect the image processor and the other differences are not necessary...
Saleh Sinokrot There's a big improvement in terms of 3D performance. Camera was already great in S7, it only improved with S8 due to improvement in processing. And if Samsung puts all the upgrades in S8 what will they do to Note 8?
well you could actually use the iris scanner cuze you are not gonna cover your face till the eyes right you are gonna leave your eyes so its best either way but for other phones you have to use your fingerprint which may or may not work if you wear a glove
Amazing comparison as always! I didn't know about Bluetooth 5.0 on the S8 Plus so I learnt something new there. I've got my S6 Edge still so I'm hoping to upgrade to the S8 Plus, just because S6 Edge is showing it's age now with a deteriorating battery life and the camera isn't as good anymore. Keep up the great work.
The international variants will always be better than the US carrier brands. If you have the GS7E international, your really not considering an update based on a few minor changes, your doing it justs because you want too. The one thing I hate about Samsung smartphone reviews is that reviewers never mention how well Samsung has been in the past at correcting or updating their devices with software and firmware updates. If you have the international variants with the faster processor, you literally have a new device with Nougat. I have never had lag issues ever with any of my Samsung phones (All International). Maybe it's because I purchased them directly from Samsung...? My only gripe is and will always be with case makers, rather that is premium case makers. After one year there is not a single decent high end protective case for the S7 edge! I am using a pelican cloak which protects the back and body but not the screen. The only other full phone protector was Ghostek, but it was constructed very poorly. The only stable/proven screen protector I have used for all my high phones have been from Zagg! All my phones from the S2, S3, S5, and now S7E screens have survived high drops on concrete, falls down steps, falls down subway stairs meters deep, and even an attempt by 2 racist to broke my phone on purpose by sitting a arbor press on it and using the press for several hours-- GS5! Every phone I mentioned is still working without any problems. I gave them to new owners with the original Zagg screen protectors I bought with each phone at the time of purchase. I wish Zagg would get into the case making business. If it wasn't for Zagg, a company called Turtleback, and pelican I would not have decent protectors for my high-end phone purchase. Turtleback makes the only phone holder with a all metal belt clip and swivel to keep your phone from breaking off your side doing regular stuff. Otter box has not figure this out yet and frankly their products have been shytty since time of the GS3! The turtleback is a phone clip carrier that allows Your device to breath on your side. If your balls can't breath in skinny jeans why would you expect a 3600 Mah battery powered device to? I will finish with if I like high-end and will pay roughly $700 - $900 for a phone, there should be a $50 -$90 case somewhere to protect it. This is why I jump on people who bad mouth Zagg screen protectors....I know personally they have protected my phones $150 screens!
If you've got an s7 edge, I reckon that there is no need to upgrade because the s8 is not much different from the s8 (except for the screen and software) but if you're coming from an older android phone or an iPhone (as I am) you should definitely upgrade. At the end of the day though, it's all completely up to the person.
it's hot,it's new and if you need a status symbol phone then it's either the latest galaxy phone or the latest iphone,is it practical to buy with so little upgrades from the S7 edge...not really...obviously samsung have panic released a device becuase of last years failure with the note fire scandal,it's obvious that upper management needed to be appeased same as the stock holders....and if you have even the slightest bit of sense you will hold back a month or two upon release,not only for the usual price drop but because the S7 price,(new and second hand),will drop considerably. right now you can purchase a new or second hand one for around £350-450 here in london depending on memory size once the S8 is officially released i would take another hundred or so off that price another thing i find crappy about samsung is their ability to decide which CPU versions go to which regions...you either get the exynos or SD depending on where you are in the world nowadays i would prefer the SD myself as it will give you the ability to add a custom rom if that is what you desire and lastly saf if you bother to read this comment...have you factory reset the S7 and has this brought the performance and battery life back to it's original state or even near to it as these devices are essentially small computers and that's the first advice any tech person will give you if your p.c. or laptop is slowing down...would be to make a clean install of the OS maybe you can make a video about doing this and it's pro's n cons for an older degrading device
I think galaxy s7 edge is the best product of samsung from s6 to s7 was the biggest jump after s7 almost changed nothing u can notice on visualy change but it depend peoples oponion and little bit faster then s7 like 1 sec in games so i prefer s7 edge because now difference with s7 edge and s9 is 400 $ and samsung dont improved s9 to pay extra 400 $ in it because now with 300 $ i can get almost identical result !
I have an s7edge and I want at least 10 points to upgrade to s8+ and I have got only this much so far 1. Stunning display 2. better processor 3. Samsung Dex Help me with the rest 7
Arjun Das 4.It looks better. 5.You can get a free VR 6. Software refinements. 7. Better ISP so the photos should be better 8. Gorilla Glass 5 9. Bixby 10. Aspect ratio will be great for multi-tasking
4.It looks better. ---- My point 1. Stunning display....looks better...infiniti display etc 5.You can get a free VR ---- Got it with the S7Edge 6. Software refinements --- YES/MAYBE/Maybe not 7. Better ISP so the photos should be better ---- YES 8. Gorilla Glass 5 --- YES 9. Bixby ---- Google will kill this in no time 10. Aspect ratio will be great for multi-tasking ---- YES Thanks @Rudy Villarto got 3 more points from you :) What could be the other 4?? :)
@Rudy Villardo My friend thanks....I am getting that shit man!!! and thanks to you! @SuperSaf TV and Rudy my only concern now is.....hope it doesnt blow up! :( :( I love sammy for their innovations!
When you open up the camera on the S8, why don't they have it like the S8 ads where the whole screen shows the camera as if it's transparent basically? Why the black part on the bottom?
I'm using dual sim but I do have concern on the memory too. So Apple products won't suit me even they provides up to 256gb of memory but lacking in dual sim capabilty. Luckily Samsung introduced the 128gb version of S7 Edge Black Pearl & its been couple months already I'm using it. I'm happy with it & I think I'll wait for Note 8 or S9 thou for upgrade. peacee!
I got the S7 edge when it came out and it's been a great phone. I've taken good care of the battery in not letting the charge go below 40% or above 85% and not charging it with more than 1000 ma of current. My phone battery has never gotten excessively hot, I have an app that continuously monitors all these things, and so my battery life has not declined appreciably. For me, there is no justification in spending the extra money on a S8+, but I will look at the S9+ and Pixel 3 XL when they come out.
Just awesome run down on the S8 mold ... I really expect 2 have one in hand later this Summer or early Fall as I like 2 be patient as everything by then should be eligible and fine with the S8 molds ... so thanks again on this and so let's "Boldly Go Where No Man Has Gone Before" ST :-)
dude i have s7 edge for a year and i wont change it till s9 or s10 came out.. coz am not sleeping on a bed made of money.. and the trees in my garden gives me apples not money ok!??!
I've got the Note 3 and it's time to upgrade, i'd like to wait until the next note but i've been saying that since the Note 4 came out. So, I making a pick and based on my time between upgrades I'm looking forward to the S14☺
no improvement in Mega Pixels of rare camera of s8 & s8+, no improvement in RAM, battery is also smaller compared to s7edge... due to high resolution & big display of s8 & s8+ the phones doesn't get battery backup of 1 day! my opinion is to all is move on with s7edge... it depends on personal preference of Samsung user n fans
i have the s7 egde and its a superb phone , s8 doesn't offer much that i should upgrade. Definitely looking forward to a substantial upgrade so looking forward to the Note 8. S8 is a good phone for the ones who have anything less than S7/S7edge IMHO.
supersaf.. you are the best review are the most unbiased I have ever seen so far definitely my favorite.. you probably know this but I will give you some advice about your S7 Edge battery. I've been fixing electronics for 30 years I'm a certified computer technician and network engineer with my own certified computer and phone repair shop. the worst thing you could ever do for any lithium ion battery is continuously Let It Go to zero!!!! you will decrease your battery life very quickly within the first year if you do that. that's why the fast charging is amazing never let your battery go below 25% if you can help it I keep mine over 30% I've had my phone for 13 months the Galaxy S7 Edge and I have not noticed almost any battery life difference in the nougat operating system also helps out a lot!! I have fast charging in my car, I have a battery that's a fast charger battery etc..... that's how I can keep it at 30% the S7 Edge charger so freaking fast....
you missed out on some points: bluetooth 5,0 vs 4,1. imx 333 sensor on the back camera instead of imx260, stereo speaker vs mono(the earpeace acts as an speaker on the s8) also a docking unit that turns the phone in to a computer
Jose Rivera i think note 7 was the same price when it was released so note 8 i don't think it will be more expensive. even "if" it will be .. it will be slightly more or not !
Kirbycatcher first .. note have the ( S pen ) it has good features ..for me important they might use 6gb ram may be the camera screen might be slightly wider all that "might" but for me the S pen enough to choose the note against s8 or s7+
I can see baby steps for improvement. The speakers can go stereo and fingerprint scanner can come on screen too. since i have s7 edge running flawlessly and within warranty still, definitely wanna wait for s9. cant wait to see what samsung draws up next.
I got an S7 edge last November, but that infinity display is sooooooo gorgeous. For me it'll be hard, but I'll wait and see what they do with the Note 8, and if not, then the S9.
s8 is definitely worth to upgrade. your videos are clear and straight. I honestly love them. You have taken your shot from part time to full time,very few take that risk. i hope you go really well. love from india
I never found the glass to be slippery on my S7 edge. In fact it was way less slippery than the metal back of my iPhone 6s or the previous plastic backed smart phones that I owned in the past.
in terms of how much of an upgrade it is....Samsung is doing "Apple style" here. Benchmarks and speed tests already confirmed that S7 and S8 are essentially the same in terms of speed i.e. iPhone 7 still is a king of speed tests and RAM management. As an Apple fan (not fanboy) I appreciate "new" design and direction that Samsung is going. BUT I do not like Edge screens. It is a personal preference and I see no use or convenience of having it. Just adds up price and shatter likelihood if dropped on a side.
Stop obsessing over benchmarks, modern flagships are fast enough already. It looks like they went for efficiency with the new chips, so to power those large displays. AnTuTu shows the S8 right up there with the iPhone 7 anyway, and that's on a preproduction unit. Geekbench 4 looks very suspect with the way it rates the A10 chip.
That s8+ is a beaut but look at the s7 edge, I own it and it has held up like a champ I'll be holding on to it , I'm sure s7 edge has a better battery performance same camera good hardware buttons and it has all the goodie goodies like ip68 resistance wireless and quick charging just dex. And a few other features like newer design and better display doesn't quite make it for me to upgrade
I went in my local best buy and played with one. Very nice. The only thing I didn't like from playing with it is that bar with the on screen buttons. It's feels like a bezel when it's dark o most screens. Nothing major just something small I noticed
2 Speakers On Front Or On Both Sides (Like The Tab S 10.5 LTE), IR Blaster And The Fingerprint Scanner (Circle) On The Bottom Of The Camera = Perfect Phone!!! Bonus⤵ 1, Should've Added Dual Camera's. 2, Better Camera (Upgrade) 3, A Non Edge Variant 4, S-Pen 5, Larger Battery
Haseeb Khan The LG V20 has most of what you're looking for man. it also has a removable battery. no water resistance but military grade construction so it's pretty shock proof instead
Random Subscriber Nah lol I'm A Note User (Samsung Galaxy Note 4) I'll Wait Until The Note 7 Is Back In The Market.. Worse Case, I'll Buy The Note 8 Or Simply Take It Under Contract Because I Have A Perfect Plan With Unlimited Talk & Text Followed By Unlimited Data + Unlimited Tethering ☝👊💯... LG, Sony, Huawei, ZTE, Motorola, HTC Are Great! Especially ONE PLUS Considering It's Price And A Flagship Killer... But Samsung Is Innovation And Today's Leading Technology!!! My First Samsung Phone Was The Galaxy S3 Followed By The Note 3 Now Note 4.. Before That I Was Full iPhone (Only The iPhone 4) But I'm In Love With Samsung #TeamGalaxyNote FTW ☝👊💯
Haseeb Khan Hahahaha ik what you mean man. I too loved the note 7. it was the best of last year if it didn't explode :( but just saying the V20 has 6/8 of the things you wanted in your dream phone also a few more like a quad dac for way better audio listening and stuff
Is it suspicious that Samsung drops the resolution to 1080 HD out of the box instead of its full potential display.... That means that the battery life sucks. I have no trust in Samsung anymore because they are playing games. I wouldn't be surprised if they gutted the returned Galaxy Note 7 and salvaged the iris scanner, speaker, camera, headphone jack, etc to be placed in the S8 to optimize profit. I have been a galaxy owner since the S3 but now I'm thinking of switching because of their bull shit. Probably their last innovative phones were the edge displays, Notes and the Galaxy S5. After that they seemed to just want to follow the iPhone path instead of their own. The Galaxy S6 was basically an IPhone clone. Then people complained and they changed it up with the S7 and edge. How come the camera is the exact same? No green 14 mega pickles, no duel camera, depth of field or zooom just the same and that is wrong. Also they need to optimize their phones, better ram management and take of the touch wiz layer on top of android.... maybe they need to drop android and create their own or get with Google to figure it out. We need to complain to Samsung that they need to stop with the bull and be leaders again and not followers. They need to bring back removable batteries or have a longer lasting battery. They need to bring back the remote function so I can be lazy and use my phone to control my TV. They need to fix the problems they been having with the optimization since the birth of the galaxy. They need to place the figure print scanner in a better position. They need to look at Moto and their Mods.The mods we can change the galaxy to our liking for example mod for a bigger battery, duel speakers, projector, game controls, boost speed mod, work profesion mods, projector, dsr camera mod, duel screen mod and the list goes on. Maybe even a 3d screen to watch and view 3d content without glasses. Really I don't know what they need to do they just need to do better than the S8 and S8 Plus cough stop with the iPhone naming at least Google switched it up with the Xl. Maybe S8 and S8 Tower or S8 Elite. Sorry about the rant.
Kowho Ojaide the S6 was not a copy of the iphone 6. a 2k display on a smartphone? also, people complained that samsung didn't look cool with the plastic backing, so Samsung had to go glass to be more premium. They listen to that choice and had to sacrifice for it. that's why the s5 is totally different from the s6 in terms of looks.
Ricky N Thank You Ricky for the reply. You have some great points from the plastic back of S5 to the change to the S6. The reason I said it was an IPhone clone was because Samsung followed I PHONE'S design loook. Some people may say that Apple took the look from HTC, but Samsung followed apple because they were popular at the time. The Galaxy S6 sealed their baterry similar to how Apple does their phone battery. Removing the option of expandable storage and only offering 3 storage sizes simlar Apple. The S6 also removed a lot of extra features too like the IR TV blaster and the water resistance. They basically took 2 steps back for removing those things. They also moved the head phone jack to the bottom exactly how Apple placed their head phone jack. They moved their speaker from the back to a similar position similar to the IPHONE. They went from a slide finger print from the S5 to an exact duplicate of Apple Touch ID with the S6. Aluminium case with a brushed metal finish similar to the IPhone 6. Also plastic antenna bands similar to Apple. The Galaxy also has protruding camera assembly like the IPhone 6. Even their inbox headphone has a white moulded earbuds similar to the IPHONE. So from the sides and bottom to the look and material makes the s6 so similar to the IPhone 6 making it a clone. The similarities are too much from the leap from the S5 to the s6. I hope you see the point I am making as well and hope this more detailed comparison helps.
Kowho Ojaide The S6 does have the IR blaster. While some of these may be true, they aren't copying Apple directly. They are copying other companies because like you said apple had copied other companies. The camera lens wasn't really a copy, because Samsungs was in the middle while apple has it in the corner
Ricky N Thank you for the correction it was my mistake on the IR Blaster. Also I understand what you mean. For me I will just have to wait for the Note 7 or buy the discounted S7 when the 8 comes out to save money. Hope your day is going well and enjoy the remainder of your weekend.
yes camera comparison with the 2 would be great. the S8 does have upgraded sensor on the back. Its not the exact same sensor as the S7, even if their physical spec is the same.
The only thing that is stopping me from pulling the trigger on this phone is the camera. I would be trading in my iPhone 7 plus for it. I also own an S7 Edge and greatly prefer the iPhone camera. Unless the software tweaks in the camera have some serious tricks up its sleeve I can't see this outshooting the iPhone.
Raveen Bikha understood, the way they're making it sound though is that they added tech almost like the Google pixel to process the photos better. we all know that distinct look the Google pixel camera has and some of the shots I've seen that are supposedly from the s8 have that same look which I quite like.
If you go out with your friends and family. Portrait Mode on 7 Plus can get way awesome pics than any other phone. And pics from main camera on 7 Plus are pretty good.
Yasser Piedi well, iPhone 7 plus is cheaper, has dual cameras, stereo speakers, iOS and better battery. And 1080p screen with great color reproduction. Higher res is only useful for VR which is still nothing great honestly. 7 plus is 100$ cheaper then s8 So it is appealing for many now. Honestly, s8 has only improved screen from s7 edge and cost 100$ more than iPhone! Wow...
Bernie Valter S8 is an S7 with a bigger screen of course. But Still I don't want to sound like a Samsung fanboy, I phone's are usually faster, But when it comes to battery, customizing, display etc. Android is just way better than Apple...If I had an s7/s7 edge I wouldn't update...The thing I hate about the s8 is that the Physical button is gone...That is bs IMO
TheLegendaryEyeMouther at least you edited your original isheep comment. Im a fan of tech in general so ill read up on anything exciting and new, and if you look at other reviews you see that this one in particular appears heavily biased towards samsung. That was my only point.
I have a s7e and like it and what I see from the s8p is all good stuff for premium money!Its a winner no doubt and if I need a new phone I would very seriously think of buying it - it does not hurt to look over the competition before buying to fit your budget.
Have always owned an iPhone but I put in my preorder for the S8 and my first android phone as we'll. really excited to see what it has to offer if not I'll wait till September and get the iPhone 7s or 8 or what ever they call it.
I will wait 3 or 4 more years for new Galaxy series. I am happy with my s7 edge. On that time the technology and feature can be change more than what I expected.
screen+bixby+looks+peocessor=worth upgrading. I would still love to watch Supersaf style camera test and the further release of note 8 and Apple device as well before upgrading.
I still absolutely love my S7 edge!! I do not see much difference enough in the S8+ to upgrade except for the few listed. I do want as many voice commands for my phone though. Keeping my edge a new version comes out that can get up and walk over to me!
Everyone is saying that the cameras are the same. NO !!!! They both are using different things right now, though the pixels are same but the camera on S8 has definitely been improved. We want Supersaf comparision to prove that. Please do that ASAP to clear the confusion.
Having S7 Edge, my next upgrade would support 5G cellular network(Expected in 2018) ;) 5G cellular network is the next biggest move in the world of communication, read about it and you will be amazed to see how fast it compare to 4G/LTE.
I bought my S7 Edge back in February knowing there would be an S8+, but I still got it because it's price dropped and it even then was heavy on my student funds, so I can only imagine another 200 GBP leaving me broke until the next term. Seeing the comparison here made me feel ensured about having made the right choice of phone after four years of Galaxy Ace II :) Faster processor, but same RAM, same rear camera, same level of waterproof, S7 Edge has more battery life, fairly similar resolution. With price taken into account as well, I really don't regret getting the S7 Edge for this year, and maybe for the next two/three. Also, next year when the S8+ drops like the S7 Edge did, there will be next the S9+, so either you pay extra 200 for a year of the best phone, or you pay 200 less and get the second best phone similar to the successor. I chose to go down the latter lane.
I have the S7 edge(exynos) and it is still buttery smooth since the day I got it except the battery life and if only Samsung put usb type-c on the S7 edge.
I'm also a little curious about the battery life on both devices Mister Beard Of Knowledge. Since both the new devices not only have faster processors. They each have a higher screen resolution. Which could drain the batteries pretty quick.
Should I? Nope.
Will I? Yes.
Brandan Robinson exactly
Hahaha I was thinking the same lol
Same lol
Brandan Robinson galaxy for life plan already so may as well
exactly the same
I want to upgrade so bad but my S7 edge is holding up well. Plus the laziness on the camera specs and fingerprint scanner placement was a letdown. Maybe next year
Cousin Chris plus still 4gb ram. s8 does look nice tho
lloyd t it really does. But the battery being practically the same size as the S7 kinda concerns me. That screen looks demanding
Cousin Chris the improved processor, will help with battery life
Cousin Chris they changed the sensor to sony mx333
Honestly I don't see a reason to upgrade every year. Fingerprint scanner was thrown in just for people's sake, iris scanner is a much better technology and is safer too.
i wait till s9 , happy with my s7 edge
same here, not too much of a difference to make the upgrade
That Bixby button is cool thooooo. I have the s7 edge now it's a perfect phone. But the S8 is so nice bruh I want to upgrade so bad hahha
Isa Arkan camera's the same. battery's the same. no removable battery. looks ~the same. fingerprint reader is on the BACK!!! it's way heavier. it's thicker. same RAM.
i will wait at least until s10 just bougjt the s7 edge
same,my mum and dad bought it for me on christmas but we pay it like some money per month so i have to wait but i will wait for a very good note 9 or 10
Simple answer is no you shouldn't upgrade. S7 is still a screamer of a phone. People these days upgrade phones like pairs of socks.
You change your socks every year or two.
Clem Elwyn no, I change it everyday. I don't change my phone every year though
Xarc Factor That's not what he meant... so you're saying you buy new pairs of socks every day?
Was imagining someone wearing a pair of socks for several years or more
Sebas O. Yes, indeed I do
Sup Mister Beard Of Knowledge
Food Stamp 😂😂😂lol
m planning to buy s8+ but m emotionally attached with my s7 edge... like if same with u
S8 in my opinion is the greatest phone out right now, if your contract is up or you need a new phone, its perfect.
But if you've already got an s7 edge, realistically there isn't much new warranting an upgrade unless you need more screen real estate. Love both the phones but if you've got the s7 edge, you know yourself its a monster, you should just wait for the s9.
5 is the highest score.
S8: score 4
S7: score 3
The difference is minimum. No upgrade needed. I have the S7. I will wait for the S9.
Abdullah Unal same
Abdullah Unal agreed I have s7.. I'll wait
Reasons to upgrade to galaxy s8
1. New design
2. That's it
Saleh Sinokrot Nope, not new, same as S7 and Note 7
Saleh Sinokrot new processor, better image processing (new sensor check phonearena), iris scanning, facial recognition, 64gb internal,new AI which is promising,8mp AF front facing can, 99usd earphones by AKG bundled, Samsung Dex along with the futuristic design. And if you think S8 doesn't bring anything new then good luck with other brands.
deeptesh basak the new processor is just 10% faster 😑😑 and the camera hasn't improved expect the image processor and the other differences are not necessary...
Son Goli how is it not new? not trying to be defensive or anything, just curious to your reasoning behind that
Saleh Sinokrot There's a big improvement in terms of 3D performance. Camera was already great in S7, it only improved with S8 due to improvement in processing. And if Samsung puts all the upgrades in S8 what will they do to Note 8?
is that chrome coating again outside? sad if it's true.
You Tech I was wondering the same thing -i think it's just dark polished aluminum -from what I can tell anyway.
You Tech take 4000 grit sand paper and fix it
andrew kb Yeh,great suggestion.
You Tech and....... YouTech here...
It's on the other side of the glass not the outside
will it scan my face if im wearing a bandit mask? gotta be sorted for them bank robberies
Lol. I am a New RUclipsr. I write stories. Can you take out two minutes and watch my work. Thank you.
Shantanu Sharma 😂😂😂
محمد الزين hahaha xD
well you could actually use the iris scanner cuze you are not gonna cover your face till the eyes right you are gonna leave your eyes so its best either way but for other phones you have to use your fingerprint which may or may not work if you wear a glove
neeraj sai thank you so much...gotta run and prepare my load out
Amazing comparison as always! I didn't know about Bluetooth 5.0 on the S8 Plus so I learnt something new there. I've got my S6 Edge still so I'm hoping to upgrade to the S8 Plus, just because S6 Edge is showing it's age now with a deteriorating battery life and the camera isn't as good anymore. Keep up the great work.
S7 to S8 is pointless.
S6 to S8 is a good switch.
The international variants will always be better than the US carrier brands. If you have the GS7E international, your really not considering an update based on a few minor changes, your doing it justs because you want too. The one thing I hate about Samsung smartphone reviews is that reviewers never mention how well Samsung has been in the past at correcting or updating their devices with software and firmware updates. If you have the international variants with the faster processor, you literally have a new device with Nougat. I have never had lag issues ever with any of my Samsung phones (All International). Maybe it's because I purchased them directly from Samsung...? My only gripe is and will always be with case makers, rather that is premium case makers. After one year there is not a single decent high end protective case for the S7 edge! I am using a pelican cloak which protects the back and body but not the screen. The only other full phone protector was Ghostek, but it was constructed very poorly. The only stable/proven screen protector I have used for all my high phones have been from Zagg! All my phones from the S2, S3, S5, and now S7E screens have survived high drops on concrete, falls down steps, falls down subway stairs meters deep, and even an attempt by 2 racist to broke my phone on purpose by sitting a arbor press on it and using the press for several hours-- GS5! Every phone I mentioned is still working without any problems. I gave them to new owners with the original Zagg screen protectors I bought with each phone at the time of purchase. I wish Zagg would get into the case making business. If it wasn't for Zagg, a company called Turtleback, and pelican I would not have decent protectors for my high-end phone purchase. Turtleback makes the only phone holder with a all metal belt clip and swivel to keep your phone from breaking off your side doing regular stuff. Otter box has not figure this out yet and frankly their products have been shytty since time of the GS3! The turtleback is a phone clip carrier that allows Your device to breath on your side. If your balls can't breath in skinny jeans why would you expect a 3600 Mah battery powered device to? I will finish with if I like high-end and will pay roughly $700 - $900 for a phone, there should be a $50 -$90 case somewhere to protect it. This is why I jump on people who bad mouth Zagg screen protectors....I know personally they have protected my phones $150 screens!
If you've got an s7 edge, I reckon that there is no need to upgrade because the s8 is not much different from the s8 (except for the screen and software) but if you're coming from an older android phone or an iPhone (as I am) you should definitely upgrade. At the end of the day though, it's all completely up to the person.
Why I love this channel??? He gets out a super saf camera test quickly. Usually before anyone else. Good video.
Please Do a Camera comparison Between S7 edge and S8+
I just found out about your channel and I LOVE IT, BRIGHT COLORS, good camera and presentation... thumbs up to your channel

Bryan D First same 😂
Bryan D First same here 😢😂😂
still using Galaxy s2 ✌✌✌
where has this youtuber been in all my life? Welcome to le familia of favorite youtubers. keep up the good content.
it's hot,it's new and if you need a status symbol phone then it's either the latest galaxy phone or the latest iphone,is it practical to buy with so little upgrades from the S7 edge...not really...obviously samsung have panic released a device becuase of last years failure with the note fire scandal,it's obvious that upper management needed to be appeased same as the stock holders....and if you have even the slightest bit of sense you will hold back a month or two upon release,not only for the usual price drop but because the S7 price,(new and second hand),will drop considerably.
right now you can purchase a new or second hand one for around £350-450 here in london depending on memory size
once the S8 is officially released i would take another hundred or so off that price
another thing i find crappy about samsung is their ability to decide which CPU versions go to which regions...you either get the exynos or SD depending on where you are in the world nowadays i would prefer the SD myself as it will give you the ability to add a custom rom if that is what you desire
and lastly saf if you bother to read this comment...have you factory reset the S7 and has this brought the performance and battery life back to it's original state or even near to it as these devices are essentially small computers and that's the first advice any tech person will give you if your p.c. or laptop is slowing down...would be to make a clean install of the OS maybe you can make a video about doing this and it's pro's n cons for an older degrading device
Waiting for S7 Edge vs S8 video. Thanks Saf
Mister Beard Of Knowledge will RUclips videos play higher than 1440p on these 2 devices?
Food Stamp My S7 Edge goes up to 1440. Not higher.
Isa Arkan Same here. The S8 and S8+ have a higher resolution. Which is why I asked that question.
Isa Arkan hey mine stays only till 10800 why is that no i havent scaled down the display resolution
Voltage You mean 1080p?
Food Stamp yes 1080p it was a typo
I think galaxy s7 edge is the best product of samsung from s6 to s7 was the biggest jump after s7 almost changed nothing u can notice on visualy change but it depend peoples oponion and little bit faster then s7 like 1 sec in games so i prefer s7 edge because now difference with s7 edge and s9 is 400 $ and samsung dont improved s9 to pay extra 400 $ in it because now with 300 $ i can get almost identical result !
i still using the best phone of 2016
Samsung Galaxy S7 edge
Mario Hermawan Setiadi pls about the battery life can last me full day pls reply for me

Thanks @Rudy Villarto got 3 more points from you :)
What could be the other 4?? :)
Arjun Das
USB Type C
ip68 water and dust resistance (S7 had ip67)
The ergonomics are better so it feels more comfortable in hand than the S7E
@Rudy Villardo
My friend thanks....I am getting that shit man!!! and thanks to you!
@SuperSaf TV and Rudy my only concern now is.....hope it doesnt blow up! :( :(
I love sammy for their innovations!
S7 - S7 Edge actually have IP68 water and dust resistance....
When you open up the camera on the S8, why don't they have it like the S8 ads where the whole screen shows the camera as if it's transparent basically? Why the black part on the bottom?
i bought a broke screen Pixel XL for $220, fixed it for 130, i'd say i got a steal there.
I'm using dual sim but I do have concern on the memory too. So Apple products won't suit me even they provides up to 256gb of memory but lacking in dual sim capabilty. Luckily Samsung introduced the 128gb version of S7 Edge Black Pearl & its been couple months already I'm using it. I'm happy with it & I think I'll wait for Note 8 or S9 thou for upgrade. peacee!
o have an s5 should i upgrade
ben hoang yes, s5 is soon not getting updates anymore
ben hoang I have an s4...
ben hoang i have s5 to which phone should i upgrade
Mouttabi Imad me too. Should I get a s7 edge or s8+
ben hoang u need s4 😂
Great job man !!!! loved the points of comparison and the simplicity of the video
you have not answered the main question. should you upgrade or not?? we wanna know that.
I got the S7 edge when it came out and it's been a great phone. I've taken good care of the battery in not letting the charge go below 40% or above 85% and not charging it with more than 1000 ma of current. My phone battery has never gotten excessively hot, I have an app that continuously monitors all these things, and so my battery life has not declined appreciably. For me, there is no justification in spending the extra money on a S8+, but I will look at the S9+ and Pixel 3 XL when they come out.
Best looking phone I've ever seen.Truly worth owning
agree
Just awesome run down on the S8 mold ... I really expect 2 have one in hand later this Summer or early Fall as I like 2 be patient as everything by then should be eligible and fine with the S8 molds ... so thanks again on this and so let's "Boldly Go Where No Man Has Gone Before" ST :-)
dude i have s7 edge for a year and i wont change it till s9 or s10 came out.. coz am not sleeping on a bed made of money.. and the trees in my garden gives me apples not money ok!??!
I've got the Note 3 and it's time to upgrade, i'd like to wait until the next note but i've been saying that since the Note 4 came out. So, I making a pick and based on my time between upgrades I'm looking forward to the S14☺
no improvement in Mega Pixels of rare camera of s8 & s8+, no improvement in RAM, battery is also smaller compared to s7edge... due to high resolution & big display of s8 & s8+ the phones doesn't get battery backup of 1 day! my opinion is to all is move on with s7edge... it depends on personal preference of Samsung user n fans
M K M M The front camera went from 5mp to 8mp....
Benefiting yes i no that but there is no improvement in the rare facing camera its just remains same 12MP
i have the s7 egde and its a superb phone , s8 doesn't offer much that i should upgrade. Definitely looking forward to a substantial upgrade so looking forward to the Note 8. S8 is a good phone for the ones who have anything less than S7/S7edge IMHO.
I would upgrade if the S9 will be out. For now I am so glad to have the S7 Edge :)
supersaf.. you are the best review are the most unbiased I have ever seen so far definitely my favorite..
you probably know this but I will give you some advice about your S7 Edge battery.
I've been fixing electronics for 30 years I'm a certified computer technician and network engineer with my own certified computer and phone repair shop.
the worst thing you could ever do for any lithium ion battery is continuously Let It Go to zero!!!!
you will decrease your battery life very quickly within the first year if you do that.
that's why the fast charging is amazing never let your battery go below 25% if you can help it I keep mine over 30% I've had my phone for 13 months the Galaxy S7 Edge and I have not noticed almost any battery life difference in the nougat operating system also helps out a lot!!
I have fast charging in my car, I have a battery that's a fast charger battery etc..... that's how I can keep it at 30% the S7 Edge charger so freaking fast....
Meanwhile I'm still using a S6 Edge
BXNJI i m using s4 😂😂😂
BXNJI Note 7!
me too.
BXNJI i'm still on my htc one m9 :)
Rahul Ronaldo ff
Can we get a camera comparison between the S8 Plus and LG V20? Thank you for considering!
I should start thinking whether i really need my kidney or not...
You do need your kidney.
you missed out on some points: bluetooth 5,0 vs 4,1. imx 333 sensor on the back camera instead of imx260, stereo speaker vs mono(the earpeace acts as an speaker on the s8) also a docking unit that turns the phone in to a computer
The real question is when are you going to do a giveaway? Lmao
at 4:52 , the feature you're talking about was on the S3 if you remember.
all s8 is s7 with bigger screen. I will wait for note 8.
People On wait for iphone 8
but that note 8 probably will be more expensive than the s8
Jose Rivera
i think note 7 was the same price when it was released
so note 8 i don't think it will be more expensive.
even "if" it will be .. it will be slightly more or not !
Negan Lannister There's actually quite a bit I think they can improve from the S8 to Note 8, especially that dreaded fingerprint sensor.
Kirbycatcher
first .. note have the ( S pen )
it has good features ..for me important
they might use 6gb ram
may be the camera
screen might be slightly wider
all that "might"
but for me the S pen enough to choose the note against s8 or s7+
I can see baby steps for improvement. The speakers can go stereo and fingerprint scanner can come on screen too. since i have s7 edge running flawlessly and within warranty still, definitely wanna wait for s9. cant wait to see what samsung draws up next.
after S8, iPhone 7 is now look like an old iPhone 2G😂😂😂
WorldTube All iphones has almost the same design!😂 Shitty phones..
Which color is the right one at 2:02
I upgraded to S7 from iPhone 5, will be using my S7 for another 3-4+yrs :)
Nino Ez Same here dude. Great ass phone!
Lol
So are you still using s7 till now?
I got an S7 edge last November, but that infinity display is sooooooo gorgeous. For me it'll be hard, but I'll wait and see what they do with the Note 8, and if not, then the S9.
I have a s7 edge and I don't feel there is any need to upgrade.
Im still rocking the s6. Im considering getting this since i didn't get the s7 and its time for my upgrade.. But im still satisfied with my s6 tho.
The S7 looks like a baby next to the S8 😰
s8 is definitely worth to upgrade.
your videos are clear and straight. I honestly love them.
You have taken your shot from part time to full time,very few take that risk.
i hope you go really well. love from india
I have a Oneplus One, should i get S8 or not?
Barry Allen hell yeah
Twerksations Haha! I'll see!
Barry Allen wait for the oneplus 5 or get 3t lol
i had a oneplus one and i would say wait a fewmonths for the release of the iphone 8 and then decide between the two
lord and savior gaben Okay, thanks for the feedback :)
I never found the glass to be slippery on my S7 edge. In fact it was way less slippery than the metal back of my iPhone 6s or the previous plastic backed smart phones that I owned in the past.
in terms of how much of an upgrade it is....Samsung is doing "Apple style" here.
Benchmarks and speed tests already confirmed that S7 and S8 are essentially the same in terms of speed i.e. iPhone 7 still is a king of speed tests and RAM management.
As an Apple fan (not fanboy) I appreciate "new" design and direction that Samsung is going. BUT I do not like Edge screens. It is a personal preference and I see no use or convenience of having it. Just adds up price and shatter likelihood if dropped on a side.
iSheep detected! Those are fake benchmarks. Feels bad that you believed them!
TheGamingFireUltra
well.. he is not wrong is used to own the iphone 6s and then i switched to the s7 but the 6s still faster. not huge difference tho
Lmao I like how Android users get triggered af and start attacking. Insecurities lol
Neil Christian Teodoro they're children who can not take the slightest bit of criticism which just makes me laugh
Stop obsessing over benchmarks, modern flagships are fast enough already. It looks like they went for efficiency with the new chips, so to power those large displays. AnTuTu shows the S8 right up there with the iPhone 7 anyway, and that's on a preproduction unit. Geekbench 4 looks very suspect with the way it rates the A10 chip.
That s8+ is a beaut but look at the s7 edge, I own it and it has held up like a champ I'll be holding on to it , I'm sure s7 edge has a better battery performance same camera good hardware buttons and it has all the goodie goodies like ip68 resistance wireless and quick charging just dex. And a few other features like newer design and better display doesn't quite make it for me to upgrade
i am happy with my s6!
im not 😒😒 the batterie its the worse thing in the world i will break him someday
It is 2500mh
Not bud!
2500 mah with qhd display ?? Are u fucking kidding me its die in 1 hour
Really! Mine 6 hours with heavy use!
The display res is wrong in the video at 0:25 for the S7 edge, its actually 2560 by 1440 on all s6's and s7's
Got s7 edge. ill be waiting for S9
Hey saf, I think you made a mistake on the s7 edge resolution @0:25 . Shouldn't it be 2560x1440
love my coral blue s7 edge no need for change
david smith mectoo i am using blue coral s7 edge
david smith mine is rose gold 😍😍😍
I went in my local best buy and played with one. Very nice. The only thing I didn't like from playing with it is that bar with the on screen buttons. It's feels like a bezel when it's dark o most screens. Nothing major just something small I noticed
2 Speakers On Front Or On Both Sides (Like The Tab S 10.5 LTE), IR Blaster And The Fingerprint Scanner (Circle) On The Bottom Of The Camera = Perfect Phone!!!
Bonus⤵
1, Should've Added Dual Camera's.
2, Better Camera (Upgrade)
3, A Non Edge Variant
4, S-Pen
5, Larger Battery
Haseeb Khan The LG V20 has most of what you're looking for man. it also has a removable battery. no water resistance but military grade construction so it's pretty shock proof instead
Random Subscriber Nah lol I'm A Note User (Samsung Galaxy Note 4) I'll Wait Until The Note 7 Is Back In The Market.. Worse Case, I'll Buy The Note 8 Or Simply Take It Under Contract Because I Have A Perfect Plan With Unlimited Talk & Text Followed By Unlimited Data + Unlimited Tethering ☝👊💯... LG, Sony, Huawei, ZTE, Motorola, HTC Are Great! Especially ONE PLUS Considering It's Price And A Flagship Killer... But Samsung Is Innovation And Today's Leading Technology!!! My First Samsung Phone Was The Galaxy S3 Followed By The Note 3 Now Note 4.. Before That I Was Full iPhone (Only The iPhone 4) But I'm In Love With Samsung #TeamGalaxyNote FTW ☝👊💯
Haseeb Khan Hahahaha ik what you mean man. I too loved the note 7. it was the best of last year if it didn't explode :( but just saying the V20 has 6/8 of the things you wanted in your dream phone also a few more like a quad dac for way better audio listening and stuff
Haseeb Khan personally I'm gonna wait till the iPhone edition/X, note 8 and the V30. this isn't revolutionary enough for me
lol I know, fuck the curved edge bullshit
i loved your review . last year only you count camera instant focus speed in feature. its a very big feature don't know why people not counting it
Thanks for saying, "attracts fingerprints". I'm so tired of hearing "fingerprint magnet". It's overused and old at this point.
0:24 I think you mean 2560 x 1440 not 2860 for the S7 Edge
Is it suspicious that Samsung drops the resolution to 1080 HD out of the box instead of its full potential display.... That means that the battery life sucks. I have no trust in Samsung anymore because they are playing games. I wouldn't be surprised if they gutted the returned Galaxy Note 7 and salvaged the iris scanner, speaker, camera, headphone jack, etc to be placed in the S8 to optimize profit. I have been a galaxy owner since the S3 but now I'm thinking of switching because of their bull shit. Probably their last innovative phones were the edge displays, Notes and the Galaxy S5. After that they seemed to just want to follow the iPhone path instead of their own. The Galaxy S6 was basically an IPhone clone. Then people complained and they changed it up with the S7 and edge. How come the camera is the exact same? No green 14 mega pickles, no duel camera, depth of field or zooom just the same and that is wrong. Also they need to optimize their phones, better ram management and take of the touch wiz layer on top of android.... maybe they need to drop android and create their own or get with Google to figure it out. We need to complain to Samsung that they need to stop with the bull and be leaders again and not followers. They need to bring back removable batteries or have a longer lasting battery. They need to bring back the remote function so I can be lazy and use my phone to control my TV. They need to fix the problems they been having with the optimization since the birth of the galaxy. They need to place the figure print scanner in a better position. They need to look at Moto and their Mods.The mods we can change the galaxy to our liking for example mod for a bigger battery, duel speakers, projector, game controls, boost speed mod, work profesion mods, projector, dsr camera mod, duel screen mod and the list goes on. Maybe even a 3d screen to watch and view 3d content without glasses. Really I don't know what they need to do they just need to do better than the S8 and S8 Plus cough stop with the iPhone naming at least Google switched it up with the Xl. Maybe S8 and S8 Tower or S8 Elite. Sorry about the rant.
Kowho Ojaide the S6 was not a copy of the iphone 6. a 2k display on a smartphone? also, people complained that samsung didn't look cool with the plastic backing, so Samsung had to go glass to be more premium. They listen to that choice and had to sacrifice for it. that's why the s5 is totally different from the s6 in terms of looks.
Ricky N Thank You Ricky for the reply. You have some great points from the plastic back of S5 to the change to the S6. The reason I said it was an IPhone clone was because Samsung followed I PHONE'S design loook. Some people may say that Apple took the look from HTC, but Samsung followed apple because they were popular at the time. The Galaxy S6 sealed their baterry similar to how Apple does their phone battery. Removing the option of expandable storage and only offering 3 storage sizes simlar Apple. The S6 also removed a lot of extra features too like the IR TV blaster and the water resistance. They basically took 2 steps back for removing those things. They also moved the head phone jack to the bottom exactly how Apple placed their head phone jack. They moved their speaker from the back to a similar position similar to the IPHONE. They went from a slide finger print from the S5 to an exact duplicate of Apple Touch ID with the S6. Aluminium case with a brushed metal finish similar to the IPhone 6. Also plastic antenna bands similar to Apple.
The Galaxy also has protruding camera assembly like the IPhone 6. Even their inbox headphone has a white moulded earbuds similar to the IPHONE. So from the sides and bottom to the look and material makes the s6 so similar to the IPhone 6 making it a clone. The similarities are too much from the leap from the S5 to the s6. I hope you see the point I am making as well and hope this more detailed comparison helps.
Kowho Ojaide The S6 does have the IR blaster. While some of these may be true, they aren't copying Apple directly. They are copying other companies because like you said apple had copied other companies. The camera lens wasn't really a copy, because Samsungs was in the middle while apple has it in the corner
Ricky N Thank you for the correction it was my mistake on the IR Blaster. Also I understand what you mean. For me I will just have to wait for the Note 7 or buy the discounted S7 when the 8 comes out to save money. Hope your day is going well and enjoy the remainder of your weekend.
Note 8
yes camera comparison with the 2 would be great. the S8 does have upgraded sensor on the back. Its not the exact same sensor as the S7, even if their physical spec is the same.
can u give me phone please I'm poor I can't buy one
Would love to see a SuperSaf camera review of these.
The only thing that is stopping me from pulling the trigger on this phone is the camera. I would be trading in my iPhone 7 plus for it. I also own an S7 Edge and greatly prefer the iPhone camera. Unless the software tweaks in the camera have some serious tricks up its sleeve I can't see this outshooting the iPhone.
robert haibi software is basically a camera app tweaks. U need upgrade the hardware to see the difference

Raveen Bikha understood, the way they're making it sound though is that they added tech almost like the Google pixel to process the photos better. we all know that distinct look the Google pixel camera has and some of the shots I've seen that are supposedly from the s8 have that same look which I quite like.
If you go out with your friends and family. Portrait Mode on 7 Plus can get way awesome pics than any other phone. And pics from main camera on 7 Plus are pretty good.
S8 has the newest sensor by Sony. Only phone arena has pointed that.
I already pre-ordered the S8. Upgrading from a Note 5, so the phone will feel a bit smaller which is what I wanted. I am very excited!
Hes such a samsung fanboy
fenderman21guitar ikr? why would you buy an s8? or even Samsung phone if there (Cr)apple phones, Goddamit the iPhone 7 rocks I love the 720p display!
Yasser Piedi well, iPhone 7 plus is cheaper, has dual cameras, stereo speakers, iOS and better battery. And 1080p screen with great color reproduction. Higher res is only useful for VR which is still nothing great honestly. 7 plus is 100$ cheaper then s8 So it is appealing for many now. Honestly, s8 has only improved screen from s7 edge and cost 100$ more than iPhone! Wow...
fenderman21guitar I'd make the same assumption about you plus if a person wants a phone they will get it and if not they don't or they wait
Bernie Valter S8 is an S7 with a bigger screen of course. But Still I don't want to sound like a Samsung fanboy, I phone's are usually faster, But when it comes to battery, customizing, display etc. Android is just way better than Apple...If I had an s7/s7 edge I wouldn't update...The thing I hate about the s8 is that the Physical button is gone...That is bs IMO
TheLegendaryEyeMouther at least you edited your original isheep comment.
Im a fan of tech in general so ill read up on anything exciting and new, and if you look at other reviews you see that this one in particular appears heavily biased towards samsung. That was my only point.
0:26
S7/edge does not have 2860×1440 Pixels. It's 2560×1440
Always great quality videos
I have a s7e and like it and what I see from the s8p is all good stuff for premium money!Its a winner no doubt and if I need a new phone I would very seriously think of buying it - it does not hurt to look over the competition before buying to fit your budget.
Have always owned an iPhone but I put in my preorder for the S8 and my first android phone as we'll. really excited to see what it has to offer if not I'll wait till September and get the iPhone 7s or 8 or what ever they call it.
I will wait 3 or 4 more years for new Galaxy series. I am happy with my s7 edge. On that time the technology and feature can be change more than what I expected.
I still have Note Edge. Their 1st curved display. I had it for the longest time and had gone through a lot of drops and throws. Still perfect ❤
screen+bixby+looks+peocessor=worth upgrading.
I would still love to watch Supersaf style camera test and the further release of note 8 and Apple device as well before upgrading.
Just bought my S8+ this month and man, I'm lovin' it!
I still absolutely love my S7 edge!! I do not see much difference enough in the S8+ to upgrade except for the few listed. I do want as many voice commands for my phone though. Keeping my edge a new version comes out that can get up and walk over to me!
I'm loving your thumbnails 😂
Everyone is saying that the cameras are the same. NO !!!! They both are using different things right now, though the pixels are same but the camera on S8 has definitely been improved. We want Supersaf comparision to prove that. Please do that ASAP to clear the confusion.
Having S7 Edge, my next upgrade would support 5G cellular network(Expected in 2018) ;)
5G cellular network is the next biggest move in the world of communication, read about it and you will be amazed to see how fast it compare to 4G/LTE.
Do you have 5g yet?
I bought my S7 Edge back in February knowing there would be an S8+, but I still got it because it's price dropped and it even then was heavy on my student funds, so I can only imagine another 200 GBP leaving me broke until the next term. Seeing the comparison here made me feel ensured about having made the right choice of phone after four years of Galaxy Ace II :)
Faster processor, but same RAM, same rear camera, same level of waterproof, S7 Edge has more battery life, fairly similar resolution. With price taken into account as well, I really don't regret getting the S7 Edge for this year, and maybe for the next two/three.
Also, next year when the S8+ drops like the S7 Edge did, there will be next the S9+, so either you pay extra 200 for a year of the best phone, or you pay 200 less and get the second best phone similar to the successor. I chose to go down the latter lane.
I have the S7 edge(exynos) and it is still buttery smooth since the day I got it except the battery life and if only Samsung put usb type-c on the S7 edge.
hey, does the S8 Plus have a IR Blaster?
I'm also a little curious about the battery life on both devices Mister Beard Of Knowledge. Since both the new devices not only have faster processors. They each have a higher screen resolution. Which could drain the batteries pretty quick.
i have samsung galaxy xcover 3 should i buy cheaper s7 or new s8 or just keep my phone
PLUNGEE just keep it don't spend money on upgrading that's just waste of money
Great review, thank you!
dope review...supersaf😉
