Sarah (126 KP) rated Samsung Galaxy S8 in Tech
Jul 30, 2018
Going from my previous handset (the S6) to the S8, I was disappointed at first with the lack of a physical home button - as it turns out, I don't actually miss it at all. Force of habit means that now and again I will try to press a home button or stare blankly at the screen for a moment to try and figure out what I'm meant to do, but that's more me being a bit dizzy than anything!
As with previous models, apps can be downloaded from the Google Play Store as well as third-party apps without having to "jailbreak" or otherwise void the warranty of the phone, you simply allow third party apps in the settings.
Having had the phone for around six months, there are times when it lags, odd occasions when it freezes or restarts itself, but honestly these are issues that every phone can throw up from time to time and not something that would make me decide there was a problem - usually, anything can be resolved with a restart or running some sort of clean up/diagnostic and deleting junk. One criticism, the actual body of the phone seems a little easier to damage than the S6. I'm notorious for dropping, bashing and knocking my phone and, eventually, ending up with a crack somewhere on the screen. This time, I managed to crack the *back* of the phone when taking it out of a holder. My husband's screen seemingly cracked in the heat of July 2018 in the UK! He's put a super-duper hide-the-cracks screen protector on, which makes it look as good as new, and I've got mine in a case now because i'm clumsy, but neither of these were things I would have expected from the treatment the phone had received!
Compared with previous models, it is a definite upgrade in the real sense of the word - the camera is better, it runs more smoothly (obviously, having been designed to cope better with the demands of the ever-improving operating systems that are rolled out on a fairly regular basis), and is a sleeker, better looking version of its predecessors. But, put it in a case!
