Mr.Bigtime
I am having hard time to use s8 plus. Size is struggling. But battery is better than s8?
S8 vs s8 plus battery?
Mr.Bigtime
Yeah I know that but in real life usage. Smaller screen size 3000 mah vs bigger screen 3500 mah. My s8 plus is fine in battery. Bro saying s8 is not good but his usage and brightness is more than mine.
I love the feeling of s8 in the hand. Easy to handle. I regret this s8 plus a bit.
I accept each day I am getting used to it just unlocking phone is pain. Face and iris scans are not working all time. S8 plus finger scan place is hard for reach with single hand. That's my biggest struggle.

2,3 weeks old and I am used to this back side finger print sensor.
So happy with s8 plus. Size weight. All Good. Just ram is issue? I use SwiftKey in all my devices. Sometimes it takes time to to appear. Why no 6 gb of ram.

it could be that the program is sleeping so it will take a bit longer to activate.
default rom dont have any optimisations to speed apps also.
Mr.Bigtime
SwiftKey is somehow problem on iPhone and Samsung phones. Huawei. Htc. Sony. All good. But Samsung rom or what ever it is, this SwiftKey is can't even match my typing speed and it sometimes lags while it starts. Even when I clicked here to type now. First a black box then I see keyboard. Happens not often. But happens can't even match to my typing speed. Googled this issue yes Samsung phones has this. S7 SwiftKey lag etc. S8 has same issue.
And this orchid grey is perfect for hiding the finger prints on the backside. But a bit gay color? I prefer black. Shame it was not available while I bought this color. Considering selling this color and re buying the black one.
Mr.Bigtime
as my wife says: "you keep pulling all negative things to yourself like a magnet".

i got an s8+, very happy with with it....
Bixby is a bit hit miss or maybe just now, and very laggy. Its promising though as soon as more apps are able to be used. but the fact you can bixby within an app to do stuff in the actual app is pretty neat.... i feel Bixby and Google are gonna fight, both of them living in my phone

Moisture. 3 days ago I hold my s8 plus in the sea like 5 seconds. And now can't use charging port. Only wireless charging. What ever I do, phone keeps saying moisture. Wet. I did everything google says. Rice, hair dryer. Even small tool to clean port manually. Still same. What a sht situation.
Mr.Bigtime
shame.
Mr.Bigtime
How on earth I didn't think that. Thank you man.
Edit: it worked. Issue is gone. Normal water fixed my issue. I thank you again.
