Just in case anyone did not see this.
"Samsung promised to extends its One UI on Android Pie program to the 2017 flagships back in January and today it's delivering it to the Galaxy S8. Units across Continental Europe are getting an update to the latest user interface and Android OS"

V.K, 20 Feb 2019Is it worth to buy samsung s8 in feb 2019 at 30999 in india?Go with your preference, its value for money, but if you are a gamer and want top processor and huge ram, then don't buy,
For daily use, watching movies, videos, normal gaming etc, its a best choice

V.K, 20 Feb 2019Is it worth to buy samsung s8 in feb 2019 at 30999 in india?If you are okay with the fact that Pie is the last major OS update and you are entitled to security updates only, it's a deal.
Otherwise, the only pros are camera and IP rating which you can't find in the same price range.
Other than that, the SoC is old and you can find better hardware specs currently and in the near future.
My personal opinion is to wait for newer devices with better configuration or pick one which was launched recently.

Sath, 18 Feb 2019Is it worth buying S8 now in 2019.. tempted with the price ... moreIf the price is right then I would seriously consider buying.
I would be wary of buying a used S8 though because the battery is sealed and if it was originally bought on day one, then that battery may of been recharged thousands of times.
Also it would depend how long you tend to hold onto a phone for because the S8 will receive PIE shortly and then that's it and security updates will be fazed out eventually too. ...so worth taking that into consideration too.
If you don't like using a case on your phone and you tend to be very accident prone and drop your phone every now and then, beware. I would highly recommend a case. Very expensive to replace the screen.
Sounds like im being negative but just pointing out a few things to consider if you have not done so already. it's still a fantastic phone overall, im very impressed personally with the S8's and if you can pick one up cheap then hey, well worth considering.
Also it might be worth holding on just a little bit longer as the S10's will be on sale very soon and those prices may go down even further.

Sath, 18 Feb 2019Is it worth buying S8 now in 2019.. tempted with the price ... moreNope buy Pocophone same money got much more. I bought S8 in December and I regret it first of all camera is not reallz that good fast focus yes but not enough details and in low light situations very bad photos. But it is not all bad it have beautiful screen and design if camera is not important to you then it is not bad purchase.

No, I don't subscribe to that and the reason why is that I've had my phone (s8 Plus) since launch day and I know others that have the S8 from day 1 and are not getting these issues. Sure there are people with issues such as yours out there, but it's a drop in the ocean compared to the number of units sold. You have to put it all into perspective.
Yes the battery will degrade over time, but hey that's batteries for you. I have hand on heart been pleasantly surprised by how well my battery has held up since I got the phone. ...admittedly I don't get as much onscreen time as I did 2 years ago but I never expected to. The S6 for example I could see a really big drop in performance of the battery over time but as I said I don't feel the same about the S8's.
I would try 'wipe cache partition' and then if no luck I would do a factory reset.

Been one year since i had s8 and now facing battery issues. Drops below 15 and switches off, using mobile data is disastorous. So samsung doing apple tactics to make us buy s10? I really shouldn t have updated my phone. After oct or nov update these issues started when phone was just used for 9 months

yoyoyo, 16 Feb 2019Yes smartphone FLAGSHIP cost about 1000 euro at the time. S... moreI''m obviously not of the same opinion as you and I was more than happy (and still am) with the performance of the camera and I seem to recall that at the time of release in 2017 the S8s, got good reviews about the S8's camera and certainly when comparing overall performance, specs etc to other similar phones out there in the market at the time.
You are having a moan about the 12 MP camera, surely you knew that before you bought it? Then you are saying that you would not mind "If camera is a little bit out off the body on the phone" but that's not the way the phone was designed......? You knew that, right?

Samsung had 16 mp camera I do not know why they nerf it on just 12 mp it is not enough. Just a little bit of zoom and you see how bad camera is photos smudged and no details. With 16 or 20 mp camera would be much better and it would have more details on photos and it is not astro physics to make.
If camera is a little bit out off the body on the phone I do not mind as long as camera is better.
