Hey what's up guys my name is Mario and on this video we're gonna check out the
Samsung Galaxy S8 plus. I'm gonna give you my update and experience. I got this
phone last year when it was released and in 2018 a lot of people are thinking
about buying it, so we're gonna talk about the battery performance the
efficiency, the physical design the camera, and everything else that is
important on the phone in 2018. The first thing that I want to talk about is the
battery. If you get the Galaxy S8 you're gonna get 3000 mAh battery, if you get the
Galaxy S8 plus you're gonna have 3,500 mAh battery. When I first got the s8 plus, I
was basically going through a whole day with a battery charge. I
basically charged it overnight I woke up in the morning I'd use it all day at
work I just said all day at home I was watching YouTube videos playing
video games multitasking basically everything that I needed to do with the
phone and by the end of the day...I mean sometimes I will have 20% 30% at night I
will go to sleep and even if I forgot to charge the phone I would wake up next
morning and I will still have some battery charge left on it. The problem is
that as I've been using it after a couple of months after six months I have
noticed that the battery is not performing the same way on a regular
basis usually I will go through a whole day and will be left would probably
maybe 5% towards the end of the day and I'm talking about eight or nine o'clock
I mean sometimes by four or five o'clock I will basically be at maybe 15% 20% and
I have to recharge the battery if you're gonna get the SI plus or the SI in 2018
and if you're thinking about getting a used one just make sure you consider
that you're not gonna get the same battery performance that you're gonna
get if the phone was new and if you want to replace the battery that's gonna cost
you a lot more money because the battery is actually built in you're not gonna be
able to just go online and purchase a battery and just put it on yourself so
that maybe that may cost you between 50 to 80 dollars depending on where you
check another thing to point out is those come with fast wireless charging
but in reality I mean I hardly ever use it to me it's just not very convenient
and don't get me wrong I have a wireless charger in the office I have a wireless
charger in my room but usually I just stick to using the cable because at the
end of the day I want to make sure that when I put the phone and it's charging I
want to make sure it's charging sometimes when I was using the wireless
charger I would not set the phone correctly or I put it to the side where
yeah at the beginning of will start charging but then for some reason it
would just stop receiving the charge and then I will go back and check
in fondant in charge next I want to talk about the camera in the front you're
gonna have an a megapixel camera which is gonna do an awesome job taking
selfies if you want to make video callings or just speed of messaging he's
gonna do an outstanding job he's not gonna do the best in low-light scenarios
but you're still gonna get a pretty decent shot what does a great job is the
rear camera in the back which is gonna have 12 megapixels that one's gonna do
an excellent job in low-light scenario of course it's not gonna be the best of
the best if you want to talk about the best of the best you probably want to go
check out the pixel but the SI plus and the SI they're still gonna give you an
awesome video quality and awesome picture quality if you'd use in the rear
camera when it comes to the camera the si plus is always my backup always have
it with me and I never doubted that this phone is gonna let me down when it comes
to shooting video or taking pictures so in 2018 having a good camera is very
important especially if you're using Instagram snapchat or Facebook if you
want to do a live stream or you just want to take pictures I can assure you
that the Galaxy S a plus and the SI they're definitely not gonna let you
down they're gonna perform very well and they're gonna do an awesome job next I
want to talk about the physical design the screen is gonna come on 5.8 inches
or 6.2 inches depending on which model you get and that infinity display screen
to me it's probably one of the best screens I've ever seen on the phone and
I know a lot of people don't like it when they see it but I gotta tell you
once you start using it you will not look at another phone in the same way
especially if that phone has vessels I mean in reality you're not gonna have
the phone all the time without a case because the Korolev glass panel in the
back that's pretty fragile and a lot of people that have used this phone and
drop it I mean some some people have reported that they drop it probably
sometimes within three feet and in the actual glass broke you you're gonna want
to have a case on this phone and that's kind of gonna take away from it also it
is gonna be a fingerprint magnet usually if I take it off the case and I'll clean
it up by the time I put it back in the case I can already see all those
fingerprints in the back having that I did yeah it's also a big plus for me I
mean to me in 2018 I still want to have my outer jack
I still have a lot of headphones I to me I really don't like using bluetooth
technology to connect to the headphones I always forget to charge them and I
just I'm always on the go and I want to be able to use it right away I don't
have time to plug it in turn on make sure it's in seeing mercury connects and
especially if it's out of batteries for me having an Audi jack is very
important and on top of that if you if you don't care about the Audi Jack this
phone is gonna have a 5.0 bluetooth technology which is gonna give you
better sound quality better experience the range is gonna be further out and
it's just gonna give you an overall best experience where a lot of people made a
big deal out of it is the location of the fingerprint sensor I'm gonna be
honest with you at the beginning you got some time getting used to it but after
using it for a while likely trained myself to know where the actual
fingerprint sensor is and honestly I don't I don't have any issues with it I
mean sometimes I do touch the camera but I don't have one picture where basically
I can tell myself the fingerprint sensor basically mess up this picture the iris
scanner is another great feature to have to be able to unlock the phone
especially when your hands are tied up with something else
and you can use your finger or when you wash your hands sometimes your finger
will be moist and the fingerprint sensor will not detect it very well so that's
one that the actual iris scanner comes handy one of the complaints that I
probably will have is this the location of the speaker and the quality of the
speaker if you're using the speaker mode on this phone I mean you're not gonna
get the best sound quality the best sound experience especially if you're
watching videos you're watching youtube videos and the sound sometimes it could
be better next I want to talk about the performance and I can assure you the SMS
or the f8 they're not gonna let you down in 2018 I'm very confident that these
phones are gonna perform very well I've been using this phone for a while and
there has not been one day with this phone actually which is basically upset
me because the applications are not running fast enough or the phone just
starts lagging for a long period of time I mean I'm gonna be honest with you
maybe a couple of times it happened where I had a bunch of applications open
I could come from one to another and the phone will freeze but again it will be
like a quick freeze where I would just basically close the apps that you move
work again and it's not like it's happening all the time probably if I can
think of you probably happen to me maybe two or three times since I had the phone
another thing is some of the application seems like they're not 100% compatible
yet with this with this phone and I don't know if it's because of the of the
screen ratio but sometimes if I put the applications to run in the background or
if I just open an app and I just open it a second app the application will crash
and the application that goes in the background I will get a message so it
will crash in closed and that happens pretty often but other
than that I mean I don't feel that that's an issue with the foam but the
actual support from the application itself that they're not fixing the bugs
before you give bytes of RAM with this one I feel like you can pretty much
multitask and you can have as many apps as you open I mean as much as you can
handle I do try to maintain it to working optimum conditions and that is
why I'm constantly closing all the apps running in the background and I take
advantage of the device maintenance feature that will allow me to monitor
let me know which apps are slowing down the phone and even taking down the
battery overall I haven't had issues where the phone overheats while
discharging or while I'm using it I know if you people have mentioned that the
phone they fell like before and overheated after some time but I guess
if you're actually abusing or pushing the phone to the maximum that's what's
gonna happen a lot of times they come with a lot of apps that you don't use
that they get installed through Samson and on top of that you get the apps that
get installed through the carrier for me this particular phone it's been doing
very well I haven't really had to go back and actually disabled some of those
apps or only saw some of those apps but that would be something good to do in
2018 and before we wrap up this video the question is how much should you pay
for the essay or the NSA plus in 2018 well in early 2018 right now they're
still having much basically regular price you want to go to one of the
carriers in the US they're gonna sell it to you for $750 a regular essay and if
you want to get the essay plus it's gonna cost you around 850 dollars my
advice to you is just wait don't buy it right now wait for the s 9 to come out
you can probably get a good deal depending at the time I'm thinking this
phone has to go down between 400 and 600 dollars when the when the market gets
flooded with all the u s-- phones on people trying to sell it at the only
thing you gotta keep in mind is that check that battery before you buy a
trans if you can get a good idea of how the fun that particular phone is
performing with the battery because probably within a year or so you're
probably gonna have to replace the battery and you're gonna have to pay 50
80 80 dollars to have someone professionally remove the battery put a
new battery on so the phone still performs that well and also you may have
that issue or you're gonna have to recharge the phone throughout the day
and with that don't forget to subscribe to this channel I'm gonna have more
