Eh?, 04 Sep 2018"And it will lag and freeze in few months of it's use"
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.
I will also apologise to anyone that does have a genuine fault and I have dismissed them :)

I'm not trolling, blurry S8 camera is a real issue for big part of S8 users.

I've taken hundreds of photos and all have been sharp and perfect. two days ago I had to take a photo of an incident and it was blurry. I tapped the camera lens and took another photo and it had returned to perfection. Can't tell if it will happen again but I will re-test it. I apologise to all those who I had doubted.

If so I could spend all night listing comments about people claiming the phones heating up or lag or whatever and it's not just your phone that has issues.
For example and as I said I could create an endless list.
"My phone lags to the point of being unplayable at times" (Note 9)
"I play on iPhone X and 1st gen iPad Pro and both suffer these problems"
"Seriously!?... how unoptimized is this damn game for mobile? You’re playing on the best mobile devices money can currently buy and the game still runs like poop. How is this not a bigger issue and how is Epic Games not getting flamed for making such a (thus far) crap port?"
