So far 3 year i used Samsung Galaxy S8
My opinion is
1. S8 has a low battery capacity :( even though S8 has wireless charging & fast charging
2. Bezel- less the bezel is very thin
3. Even though it only has 1 camera the results are still pretty good in 2020
4.I think the s8 and Note 8 have a strange fingerprint location because if I want to use it I always accidentally touch the camera
5.Good news this phone is water and dust resistant
6.Bixby
7. With $238 (ebay) you can only get 4GB Ram , while Samsung Note 8 have 6GB Ram
8.Beautiful design i love itttt
9.Super-Amoled Screen , 5,8 Inch Full HD
10.Equipped with fingerprint and iris scanner
11.Also eqipped with NFC
Yea i guess that's all i'm still trying s20 i'm gonna review it

I am sorry if i should not be taking the name of iphone here, but I am sure these phone companies do this wantedly. After a period of time, the phones slowly stops working with various issues. Same happened with my iphone 6s as well. It was very good and i used it for 3 years and kept it aside for some time, as i was using s8. After some time when i tried using this 6s, it gave me similar trouble which you are facing with your phone. Also, your phone might not be receiving updates due to some technical issues. Its been more than 4 years since its launch, so we cant expect more from this phone at this point of time

idk if im the only one facing this but the s8 to me has been really frustrating to use. the phone was perfectly normal then all of a sudden, i wanted to use the phone and there were tons of bugs. when i press the volume button, my phone freezes and then sometimes, the screen becomes black and then it says system ui stopped. I cant play audio files and when i try to play normal vioes it says audio codecs not working. my phone is suddenly mute no game notification sounds, etc. When i try to access volume from settings, either my phone freezes and later says sytem ui stopped or the setting app freezes and goes black till i quit. Playstore apps downt downloa or update anymore too. I hard factory reset the phone many times coz no other options were working and still it didnt solve the problem. Samsung brought an update later and if fixed it but now its back and its very frustrating. I cant even record vidoes and calls dont work. please help. I confirmed its not a hardwaare problem and after reporting through samsung menbers for sometime, the app doesnt work on my phone anymore idk why. Please help if u know what this is.

Moving on ... yeah it would be an exaggeration to say that burn in issues are as common as implied. I too have had no issues with burn in on the S8 Plus (after 3 years) and previously the S6. To see a few posts or watch a few videos of owners that have had issues and then to assume that this is as common as implied would be a distortion of the truth.

You shouldn't either because you will look equally ridiculous. If you hadn't acted the same as he did, I wouldn't have commented "both of you".

I think the popularity of OLED should be telling how far the technology has come. No need to "disprove" claims violently.

Anonymous, 27 Dec 2020You are most definitely 12 or below because you are arguing... moreI hate to break it to you but this is a Galaxy S8 opinions page where people come to express opinions and debate and discuss. Can I also point out that the S8 is still used by many people today. So to come here and discuss anything in relation to the Galaxy seems logical and does not mean that you are 12 years old or have "some serious mental issues" I would think quite the opposite in fact.

To summarise :

I believed that the original poster implied that burn in issues on the S8 were the norm and people should avoid the S8 because of its an 'Achilles heel' of the S8. I disputed this. That's all.

I asked for proof and I never denied that the S8 could suffer from burn in but I pointed out that because you see a relatively small number of videos on YouTube compared to the vast majority of numbers sold (over 40 million) This is not proof that a vast majority of S8 owners will suffer as was suggested.

That's all that's happened here. A debate/discussion, agreements and disagreements on an opinions page about the Samsung Galaxy S8. A phone that is still used today.

So what's your contribution to the discussion. You have contributed nothing. So far it seems to me that you just throw insults. To sit in judgement of people.

Do you have anything else to offer?

Anonymous, 25 Dec 2020Come back when you turn 20, so in 8 years.You are simply highlighting your own immaturity with these comments.

Says it all really. You should take a wee chill pill, relax, lighten up and grow up. If you want to debate/discuss the S8 then hey, I'm open to you but if all you can do is resort to insults then I have better things to do with my time than to engage with you.

So let me make it clear to you, the S and Note series all using the SAME screen amoled technology.and that very SAME technology has the SAME inherent problem which is the very SAME risk of burn in.
that's why there are some apps that are developed to lower the burn in screen risk
( i.e ambient mode, immersive mode, dark mode etc)

which are used by newer phone that's why the number of "victim" of burn in in S8 lower than previous generation amoled phone.

but it does not mean the burn in risk does not exist anymore because like I said it is inherent problem of amoled, That's why I post my opinion for everyone that using amoled phone to learn why it happen and how to avoid it. I am here to give suggestion for longer usage of amoled screen and you gave those nasty word :smh.

And ofcourse I know the S8 sold with good number, I own one and I can say it's a solid phone.but still people need to know how to use their phone for longer purpose. believing blindly to "manufacturer who main purpose to sold more and the more frequently sell things better will gain more profit" is DUMB.

I am getting out of here, do as you wish. I have done my part to educate as a fellow owner of S8, You sir just continue defend this manufacturer blindly as you want like I care :smh
