Feel no rush to go out and buy the latest 'thing' right now. Used to change phone fairly frequently but just dont feel that same urge as I did before which says a lot for the phone.

Had this phone 3 years now and undoubtedly the best mobile phone I've ever had. 24 month contract ran out and I just went on Sim Only contract. Battery still good. Never had any issues with it. Just going to keep it until it gives up the ghost.

Well, the Samsung Galaxy S8 kinda feels good, except for one thing. The Phone was bought 2 years ago and on the bottom-right corner, when my phone had small cracks, a few months ago, the screen adhesive was wearing out. And It still has that worn out adhesive on the bottom-right corner, so the screen may not feel too good, for some reason. :(

Hi Guys
Just thought I'd update you all after having heating and battery drain issues since the April 2020 software update.
1. I cleared the phone cache - it didn't seem to help.
2. I did a reset - it didn't help.
3 I then switched the phone to safe mode and the phone went cool and battery drain was minimal! So I figured it's 1 of the apps which somehow was doing this. I still do not know which app/s this was because I pretty much have the same apps installed again.
So what I did after that back going back to normal mode, was uninstall all the non proprietary apps from the phone. Remember to clear cache for each app before you uninstall it.
Restart your phone, and install only the apps you require, a few at a time and check how the phone performs. If it starts heating, then you will be able to figure out which app it is.
This was a most frustrating exercise but I'm happy to have the phone back to working well. I get standby time of up to 14 hours with a few hours on screen time usage of the usual. I also have mail syncing every 15 min in the background.
So Good Luck!

Charliesuu, 10 May 2020can someone please tell me how many hours can ur samsung ga... moreVery hard to say how long your battery will last as it depends how you use the phone and what the signal strengh is in your area and whether you use a lot of mobile data, screen brightness setting, playing games, videos or use wifi etc i know that's not the answer you are looking for but it's an honest answer.
This may help

Another thing to consider is that if regular updates are important to you then the S8's have now been moved to Quarterly Security Updates from monthly updates and will not see any updates to the OS, features etc
I know this probably all sounds very negative but its important that you consider everything before you purchase and weigh up the pros and cons. IMO the S8 is still a decent phone overall for the price it's on offer for right now but as I've said there are other things to consider.
