- The S8 has the best display on the market. The phone is lightweight and powerful. Gaming and video playback are very smooth.
- Awesome display and smooth interface.
- I just bought a phone and first thing i liked was display with edge and sharp colors! Also when you watch videos on youtube, video will take full screen on phone and show you more view!
- The edge to edge display further enhances the screen. Perhaps the best feature of the phone.
- Love the edge display and how it works very well with the phone both locked and unlocked.
- A 5.5-inch Retina HD display with wide color and 3D Touch is also impressive. Performance of the 7+ is much faster, colors more gradient and sharper.
- The display is exceptional quality with 401 PPI resolution I love watching videos on the screen and using Hi-Res apps.
- The retina HD display with 3D touch that allows users to press the pressure sensitive display that allows you to access shortcuts faster.
- The Retina display is the standard 401 pixels per inch for the Plus series, and it is still a better looking display than the 326 pixels per inch of the regular iPhone 7.
- One of the last great things about this phone is the display. When I first placed my order, I wondered if the display would live up to the claims. Wider-color gamut, 25% brighter.
- Love processor speed, resolution and everything in general.
- The graphic is amazing and processor of the phone is fast.
- It has fast ram that makes it efficient to run many apps at the same time. It also has enough memory to download several apps.
- Zero lag due to 4gb Ram and QS835 processor. Definitely the best video quality in the market right now.
- The processor is nice and fast, and I feel that the storage space is adequate. Should storage ever become an issue it's upgrade-able with Samsung bringing back the SD mini card holder again!
- It has the A10 fusion processor which enhances its performance and balances the battery consumption.
- This is the pinnacle of the IOS software experience. The 2GB of RAM, the A10 processor, and the implementation of IOS 10 is great. Everything runs well and quickly.
- The processor, its amazing, but so is the processor in just about every phone now a days. But considering this phone is more powerful then any MacBook or MacBook Air, or Even iPad ever created, its pretty remarkable.
- The processor seems slow. I was looking forward to these fast speeds that eliminating the headphone port was supposed to alllow. Again, I don't seem to notice any improvement over the 6.
- The phone lags and heats up for no reason.... I dont think the phone is smart enough to handle the fastest processor on the market! Sorry and it's waaayy too overpriced.
- Amazing camera quality.
- The camera is a lot better than s7 edge. It is a lot faster too.
- Great camera with super class picture and nice design. Easy to handle, fast processing.
- Have the best camera ever. Pictures are stunning.
- The S8 has an awesome camera, very easy to use. Screen is difficult to see in sunlight but picture quality is wonderful.
- There are definite upgrades. This features two 12MP cameras for high-resolution zoom and an ƒ/1.8 aperture for great low-light photos and 4K video. This was a biggie for me
- The advantages are the dual camera that has a 12 megapixels with 7 megapixels for the second camera with DSLR quality, which enhances the colors and quality, has 2x the optical zoom and records 4k videos.
- The Dual camera- it takes really sharp pictures much sharper than my iPhone 6 Plus up to the 2X magnification.
- It has a wonderful camera, and the pictures are much clearer and sharper than my V10, which had a pretty good camera.
- The camera on the iPhone 7 is exceptional. The phone actually has two rear facing cameras. One is for normal range photos and the other is for longer range photos.
- Great phone. Love the iris scanner. Not impressed by location of the finger print scanner and the curve of the phones edges.
- Excellent smartphone, with ip68 protocol for water issues.
- Great Phone, Samsung has a lot of great features especially their Samsung pay feature.
- I love the personal assistant "Bixby", the camera is fantastic, and the Samsung health feature lets me record my vitals and keep track of eating and sleeping habits.
- I dont like how the speaker sounds. It´s a poor mono speaker.
- It's a great phone, but wish Samsung would allow this phone to have the dual SIM card feature for their US version.
- The touch ID and home button are on the front at the bottom. Both of your volume and power buttons are on the side.
- Siri is definitely the best assistant out there, and I'm going to use her a lot.
- The dual speakers are wonderful. I've had many different brands of phones, and the speakers on this one are finally loud enough to where I can have a phone conversation with them on, and hear perfectly.
- I like the fact that one can still assign photos and specific ringtones to contacts.
- I hate the home button. It's really irritating to have to press that thing instead of swiping left or right when I want to access something. In this respect, they're way behind Android.
- This is my first Samsung phone. I love it. The display is crystal clear. One full charge of battery lasted for > 24hrs.
- I particularly like the long battery life and the cordless charger.
- The other things are perfect but my only issue is regarding to the battery performance and it's not as I saw from the reviews and some YouTubes.
- The only weakness I can find from S8 is the battery life. It cannot last for one whole day without charging. But the functionality is really much more powerful compared with iphone.
- As for the phone itself, it has a battery that lasts for several days (depending on usage), far superior to my now aging iPhone 5, and is super fast!
- Nothing to say as it is IPhone just go ahead to buy this time battery is too good from Apple
- This 7+ also has the longest battery life.
- The only thing that bothers me is the battery charge time. It's a 3 hour charge compared to a 1 hour charge on my S7 edge.
