Cherry, 02 Sep 2018I would like to buy the headphones that come with this phon... moreMy only advise to you is watch out for fakes if you have your heart set on buying the headset that came with the S8's, it's just that there are plenty of fakes on the market and I've seen that people have been caught out.
I don't know if you are aware but if you are looking to replace a set that you already purchased with the S8 due to.a fault then they are covered by the warranty, it's a shorter warranty though (only 6 months,.may be different in your country) I had a replacement set sent out, just called up Samsung told and I didn't even need to send the faulty ones back, just told them there was a problem and they were posted through my letterbox within days.

scorpio, 06 Sep 2018Thanks for all that. I'm left to wonder whether the problem... moreCould be, but if you look at the article that I posted the link to, it pre-dates Oreo,.It's from November 2017 and if the problem was fixed by tapping the lens then that to me would not point to a software issue. I'm just saying, would hate that it if your phone had developed perhaps an intermittent problem and it works well for you for the remainder of your warranty period then bang it comes back.
But hey I could be barking up the wrong tree. Can't say I've had same issue with the battery but you are perhaps far more observant than me.

This phone make me to say: "I hate my phone!"
You know that guys that says: I love my phone. No, I hate it.
It comes back from service after 2 weeks due to all sensors broken problem(one oft the 4 common problems for this phone). They replaced mainboard, display and battery(kit) LOL
Hate it, do not trust it at all for durability, it will get broken again when I will need it more like last time. I want too sell it but I would get around 350-400$ for it and I bought it new less than one year ago for 700$...
Anyway, I will not buy a Samsung again ever in my life. This company does not care about quality. But is my fault, after Note 7 episode I still bought a Samsung...

There are some good things about phone:
Looks beautiful
Has awesome screen
I might sound harsh but it's sad to pay 800 Euros for something and then fall victim of design flaws.
1. Bixby
2. Fingerprint scanner location
3. Faulty camera
4. Heating of the phone
5. No stereo
Then, poor software optimization which caused battery drain, lagging and phone would occassionally freeeze. I overall had bad experience with this phone, which doesn't have to mean someone else won't enjoy it. I just can't reccomend it as a good buy.

I personnaly don't feel that your constant bashing of the phone is fair, you just have to do a bit of research to see that the phone was launched with high critical claim. And to say phone like that shouldn't even make it to a store at a first place I also think that that's a bit harsh too and you are a naive if you believe that the S8 is the only phone that has developed a fault for the minority of users that purchase the phone. I think if you take of the blinkers and dare to look to see if your beloved IPhone SE is blemish free then you may then understand why I think your comments are harsh and quite frankly prejudiced.

Had a wee look on gsmarena and they actually highlighted the issue if you didn't know. You would think it was a hardware issue if you have to physically tap the lens in order for it to work.
Here's the link if you haven't seen it or for those that haven't :)

S... moreFrom my experience, yes.
I often had issues with lag after few months of normal use. And it would sometimes just freeze for a while and screen would be unresponsive...
I most likley had defective unit tho, judging from my camera issues. But overall - phone like that shouldn't even make it to a store at a first place.

I haven't had to use it since so I'm hoping that it was just an aberration. I will use it again though as my phone has a 2 year warranty with Telstra here in Australia.

Its very hard to tell who is telling the truth and many of the posts I see are posts that are super exaggerated to try and make a point or simply trolling.
