Anyone have their S8 yet?

That is one thing I have to say Apple wins by miles. My 6S is over 6 months old now (close to 8, bought it in September to replace a water damaged Note5) and it will still go over a day without a charge. I'm not a super phone nerd that's attached to it 24/7 but I use a fair bit of spotify at the gym as well as social media, etc. Having to worry about the battery every two days has been such a pleasure coming from my Note5 that would go from 100% to 5% just on my work shift from 7-4.

I wonder how much of that difference is the battery, Vs. how much unnecessary bloatware is running in the background of many Android devices, especially with carrier-connected phones.

The battery on my galaxy tab S shits me no end; I have to do the calibration on it at least once every few weeks because it can't keep track of the amount of charge it has. :rolleyes:

All of it is optimization. I think(not 100% sure) batteries in Android phones typically have way more capacity.
 
well, not that big of a surprise, the s8 is basically all screen, still not a good sign if it breaks that easy, as logical said, one foot? You may have to wonder what might happen to it when it get's dropped from a higher point.
 
Breaks easily? It's glass, people. No glass is shatter resistant given the right point of impact and forces.

1 foot though..

Considering they aren't designed to survive drops of any height, I don't see the relevance. Yes, even from 1 foot height (and it doesn't sound like that's the entire fall) there's enough energy to shatter a screen given, like I said, the right point of impact.
 
the point was, that the more "glass" you have on your phone/mobile the higher the chance gets to break it. Of course you can break every phone with a drop from a high enough height or terrible angle.

For sure but it's 100x more succeptible to breaking than any phone I have ever seen. It's ridiculous.

Dropped mine about three times so far! I don't remember dropping any phone as much as I have had this one. And it's not from my hands, I keep knocking it off of stuff like shelves and such. Anyway, no glass breaks as of now. Got a case. Love the phone.
 
My samsung Focus S I had back in like 2011, I could toss that thing against a wall and it would be fine.
