ngoma, 30 Oct 2023how is the battery power usageWhen my S8 was brand new with a healthy battery, I got 6 to 8 hours of screen-on-time per charge. Not bad when compared to others at that time in 2017. Now the battery only lasts 50% as long as it did when brand new, if I'm lucky.

Ive owned almost every Galaxy model ever made lol. I loved the S8, yes it got cracked and had a Black spot at side of screen but still works fine today. I went from S,S2,S3,S5,S6,S7+,S8 to S20 and i must say im glad that i did. S20 is an awesome phone 12GB ram and 64MP camera which even the S23 hasnt got. Android Rocks!

Leson 2 get a good wallet type protective cover for your phone. It will give you peace of mind and as a bonus you can use it as credit holder in the pockets inside the cover. I've also dropped my s23 several times without damage.

ChristianNerd, 05 Dec 2023I have one since 2017 terrible battery gotta charge twice a dayMy s8 is now 4 yr old and I have to charge it twice a day as well. Despite being a fantastic phone, $70 to replace the battery is not practical. Wish theydbring back user replaceable batteries. Just replaced it with an s23fe which is also very good.

It was a small crack at first but after 2 more drops, a chunk of the screen fell off and after another drop it cracked on the top right, again it was a small crack but it didn't matter because i got a new phone
Phones with curved screens always crack at the curved part so i'm not surprised

This was my first brand new flagship smartphone. I got it before the S9 came out. It was a great phone for me, and I'd probably still be using it if it had come with more RAM and a bigger battery that could still hold a charge. If I had gotten the S8+, I'd probably still be using it today. My S8 still works fine, but the battery doesn't last anymore and the RAM isn't enough anymore. Overall an 8/10 phone in my book!

You can install a custom ROM if Android 9 is too old for you, or sometimes downloading the "incompatible" app through F-Droid (open source apps) or Aurora Store (play store fork) and spoofing the device may let you at least download the app. Maybe all the features won't work though. I did this with an S7 to spoof the model into an S20 or something to download some GoPro app and it actually worked fine, despite not being available on the official store for that S7. I didn't test all the features but it seemed to mostly work at least. Great idea for old phones!
I'm not responsible for damage to your device or data loss. This very likely won't happen but in case it for some reason does, do this at your own risk. I use Aurora and F-Droid exclusively (no google play) and have no problems though!

All of these that come into my shop ALWAYS crack about 60% up the right side on the curved part. They are all north american versions though. Do the Exynos ones crack there too? Have you ever seen a cracked one where it didn't crack there?
