In my opinion the s pen and the telephoto lens doesn't worth that huge amount of money, and since the 6.2" of the s8+ vs the 6.3" of the note 8 is such a huge deal to you, what about the additional 200mAh of battery life you get in the s8+

    IPS has its advantages sure, but it being the cheaper of the two, yet the iPhone is typically more expensive, less function and cannot be cross compatible with other OS devices without the need of software...

    Try replying with a mature...hell I'll even accept a mature-ish reply...

      S5 is a solid phone. It would be great to have it upped one more version of Android, but if security is still being updated, is all good

          ONLY shows people that u r tech-illiterate & stupider than ur looks...

          File manager HAS BEEN an ESSENTIAL & most vital feature in mobile phone since early 2000's.
          Palm, Symbian, windows mobile (the VERY old, not WP/W10m), linux montavista (motorola linux), meego, even feature phones HAD this feature since it is the MOST USEFUL besides the ability to transfer files via bluetooth before those Xender or Shareit crap are born!

          To think there will come a day where SMART-ASS icrap fanboys who knows nothing about smartphone OS, PROUDLY saying shit about file manager shows that iphone and its owner are in the same league: DUMB. No question asked. Period.

Be it performance wise or update wise, Samsung can never beat an iPhone. iPhone rocks, Samsung sucks. Samsung is always playing number games like octacore, decacore, 4gb ram, 6gb ram etc etc. But in reality a dual core iPhone having 2gb ram is far far better & faster then an octacore 6gb Samsung lag droid like note 8. I am not saying every droids are worst in performance. But almost every droids except pixel & Nokia 8 are shitty in real life scenario.

People trolled about iPhone's no Bluetooth sharing functionality and still it's functions are limited in ios ecosystem. Xender & shareit have replaced the Bluetooth sharing feature.Now no one uses Bluetooth sharing feature available in Android. Similarly file manager is a useless feature Android is providing.

I gave this shitty iphone 6 plus to my little sister because it was unusable, very slow. Take 10 sec to open messenger app or facebook app. Freeze when opening mobile data and lag. Apple brainwashed you and you think iphone don't lag. Iphone 6 plus lags so i think 5 or 5s the worst. So what is the advantage to have latest os if it make your phone laggy and bored. Brainwash by apple to isheeps.

                                        I agree about the Note 4, they don't make them like this any more. It's a serious, productive phone, and it never had a proper, globally available replacement. I even like the "faux leather" back, the S-View cover on my S5 has a similar look and feel. There's the Note8 now, but it's made of glass. And for people who need a stylus it's the only option available.
