            The good about the prices of smartphones is what they fall fast.The s8 launched here in Brazil was 4299 R $.Now is 2800 R $.

              Good gsmarena now is showing stars in reviews. Just words is vague, just a dissertation. Stars or numbers sounds more concrete. Congrats gsmarena

                          My 64GB Note 5 is more than two years already and there is no battery degradation ever.
                          Still working fine as it is when it's new.

                          I often use wireless charging at home and in office.

                                  Alhamdulillah i pick s8+ 4 months ago. In my opinion s8+ better than note8. Especially for battery endurance.

                                    We need to charge that thin slab we call a smartphone because the tiny battery capacity inside of it can't store enough energy. We are spending over $1000 on smartphones now and have so many features that would make us use the smartphone more, yet manufacturers seal the battery to make it hard for us to replace it.

                                    If they are going to go sealed batteries, give us at least 5000 mAh capacities.

                                      What's the point of having 6gb of memomey when only 2 is available, like every other phone! Lol
