QHD is just marketing for most part.
just dont say S8 and S8+ screen is big, just about 5.2" and about 5.5" when viewing 16:9 media content.

    Like I said iphones rarely reload and that's a fact, androids in general but even sony in particular does reload apps. I have owned two Sony phones thus far, I know what I'm talking about. They're fast for android phones, but they also reload ... I guess it comes with the territory.

        So the iPhone 8 sales ARE weak... If people aren't buying them, that means the sales are down.

I thought Apple didn't care and didn't talk much about the specs because what matters is the experience. But as you don't have the device yet (neither gonna have it until the end of the year probably), you don't have any experience with it, you don't know so better to stay quiet.

                          AnonD-402029, 27 Sep 2017funny. ppl are facing with iphone x and ppl like it. period... moreFirstly.. you definitely CAN see the difference between full hd and quad hd .. and quad hd Definitely is the sweet spot in mobiles showing 4k content. (Watching 4k recorded video on 1080p?.. no thanks!)..
                          Secondly.. many apple loyalists really do not like this weird '2 horns' screen that tries to fool people into thinking its truly without bezel.. it's ugly. If you also look at the screen- device ratio.. the S8 duo are actually less bezel! Almost 84%

                              from your perspective, samsung also ripped ppl off by selling S8 with QHD screen (more expensive than 1080p), as most ppl cant even tell the difference between 1080p and QHD screen, unless for VR, which only few ppl using it.

                              i dont understand what do you mean by component inside S8 is cutting edge? u can say all flagships has cutting edge internal. do u mean A11 Bionic is a weak component?

                              after all, this is business. if u provide something to someone, even if it is ridiculous but they like it, u'll get rich.

It's more about how the OSes are set-up. I actually prefer Android's way BTW. IOS's is more managanable in an environment of low resources. So basically only the front end app is allowed to take most resources. That's good because it allows it to appear swift even back when iphones had dinky processors (it's no longer needed for that anymore) *and* it basically disallows background processes to get wild. THAT is why IOS is still relevant. It basically means scarce battery bugs, far lower ram needs...

                                      It's why you get twice the amound of apps in memory despite using the same ram amount as android (3GB in IOS = 6GB on android), and more battery two (2700 MaH on IOS ~ 4000 MaH on Android) .... That's all fine and dandy, but it makes customization much harder ... which is why I'm not pulling the trigger still on Iphone X ... else it's 90% of what I expected any flagship (ever) to be (all screen, powerful as a destkop, ~2-day battery).

                                      I guess I'll wait for a jailbreak before pulling the trigger. If it never comes , or if it comes yet the customizations are meh I won't buy it. But if the customizations allowed by Cydia are as powerful as they used to ... then yay! Whether I'll give $1000 or $500 makes little difference too as I don't change my phones very frequently...

                                      This phone is a beast, saddled by a semi-bad OS. Hopefully Cydia tweaks would fix the OS...
