I'm buying a new phone to replace my old XZ. My main concerns with a phone camera are:
1. poor low light performance (front & rear cameras)
2. dreaded purple or orange tinge in low light or extreme sunny conditions
3. over and underexposure
4. unresolved details especially around the corners
5. lots of noise when zooming in (under any conditions)
6. No OIS or (the very least) EIS in both the front & rear camera. (I'm doing more 1080p videos @ either 30 or 60fps than 4K)
7. Audio recording sounds as if the people talking have a blocked nose (mono).
8. Unnatural bland or over-contrasty colours (in Auto Mode)
9. Poorly optimised portrait shots (background blur looks artificial)
So, Does this sounds the S8 can easily handle? Or go for the newer S9?
Battery life are not concerning as I can do those battery-saving tips I've learned these past years; performance may be a bit out there as I want something as fast if not faster than an iPhone X.

            I've had my S8 for almost 2 years now and it has been an amazing device. From the first time opening the box I had butterflies in my stomach. Even now when I take the case off I get goosebumbs. INSANELY sexy look and feel.
            Best phone I've ever used.
            No screen burn in.
            The only issue is sometimes when I talk to GOOGLE it becomes unresponsive but only with the GOOGLE assistant, not sure why.

              I saw some demo units with very bad burn-in. But that's because this phones are on 100% brightness 24/7. I had Samsung Galaxy J3 2016, which has an amoled screen. I had it for 1.5 years. I was using it on 20-30% brightness all time. No burn-in. But my display cracked..

If it is genuine then it may still be covered by warranty so you should return it to your dealer. My s8 is now 12 months old and it is superb. Screen is beautiful and I always keep it at maximum resolution. After all if you have the best display why not use it.

                      lol, 13 Oct 2018What about burn-in? I want to buy one but i'm afraid...There ain't any burn in issue on this phone neither any horizontal pink line issue on my previous S7 edge. Trust me me this is the most wonderful device I've ever used. If you're planning to buy it get it from an authorized dealer and you won't be disappointed.

                            LaurM, 08 Oct 2018Hello, I have updated my S8 today. I'm not satisfied with t... morehi i own an s8 and i updated mine as well, is the same no difference on my end u should reset you phone or shut off ur phone hold down the power button the bixby button and the top volume button at the same time for 5 sec then go to clear cache partition and see what happens i hope that helps

                              None of the glass phones are unbreakable be it any. If you can buy an expensive phone you can also shed few bucks for it's protection, simple!!

                                This is really cheap on eBay, like € 200, but almost every S8 has a cracked screen because of that edge display. You would have to pay € 300 for one without screen damage :/ But for that, I would rather buy one for € 220 with a lightly cracked screen

                                    Having big battery issue when baterry drop to 29 or 20 sometimes to 16 when battery battery drops to 0% and turns off

                                      Vishal rajput 87, 08 Oct 2018And one more thing hows the battery back up?You're welcome we'll there's no hang or lag on the S8, I'm using this beauty for a while now and there's no such problem. As far as battery back up is concerned it depends on your usage for me it's good. Yes it goes down to 7-8% on standby when I go to sleep at night but once you start using it it's pretty sturdy but don't expect miracles. Hope this helps. Overall I'm happy with my S8.
