Sleek phone with a major flaw
I have a love-hate relationship with this phone, after coming to it from a Nokia 2.3 (which has quirks of its own.)
Pros:
- Always On Display is brilliant! Now I can just touch the screen to see the time instead of fumbling for the side button.
- Slimmer than my old phone (but just as long, a little too long for my pocket, unlike my S5 Mini)
- Nifty galaxy starfield effect moves as the phone moves.
Cons:
- Terrible reception, it's usually never higher than 2/5 bars and apprently they all suffer from this. Until the S8, in 20 years, I had never had a phone call drop out. Ever. I've only made one call since I've had the S8, it dropped out 3 times in 10 minutes. My other phones almost always showed 5/5 bars.
- Quiet. Even cranked up to max volume, I've still missed a call and an alarm when I was away from the phone. I always heard my S5 and the Nokia in the same situation.
- Short battery life. I expected this, but not to such a high degree. I don't think it would make it through two whole days for the average user. But to balance it out, it does recharge quickly.
Overall: - The bad reception is the deal breaker, everything else is tolerable or has a workaround, but if the phone fails at its primary function - being a voice phone - then I can't trust it to work when I need it. Luckily for me my major use for my phone is as a calendar, SMS device and an alarm clock, but the average user might find the S8 problematic.
** Please note that the seller was excellent and my comments relate purely to the phone itself.
