So..
I think we all know there is no question on which phone is better, but we want to know
if transitioning from a Note4 into the S8+ is worth the upgrade.
Also, I am hopping this will give you a better idea if you are considering upgrading from
the Note4 to the S8+..
Do you currently own the Note4, did you upgrade from the note4 to the S8??
Let us know in the comment section below and make sure to watch until the end of this video!
Starting with the screen size.
The S8+ is going to rock a 6.2 inch infinity display with minimal bezels on the top and
bottom.
On the other hand The Note4 is going to rock a 5.7 inch display, with larger bezels around
the screen.The longer screen on the S8+ gives you a better reading experience if you are
using an app like twitter or Facebook where you have to constantly scroll through the
feed.
The Note4 will give you a pretty good display quality, but the S8+ will take you to the
next level with the bezel-less infinity display.
The overall ration of the S8+ is more user friendly with the single hand functionality,
while it is almost impossible to do the same with the Note 4, but it is still doable if
you have large hands
Moving into the rear Camera!
The note4 is going to rock a 16 MP camera while the S8+ is going to rock only a 12 MP
camera.
But don’t let that number fool you!
The S8+ will have HDR video support and better software capabilities that allow the picture/video
quality to perform superior.
Regardless, the Note4 and its 16 MP camera will still give you great video and picture
quality.
In the front The note4 is going to rock a 3.7 MP camera, while the S8+ is going to rock
only an 8 MP camera.
Now, lets take a look at the performance!
While we did a quick benchmark test between the two phones, The results show that the
S8+ does have a much powerful processor and it will do better with the RAM.
In the real time performance test, the results were the following.
Opening apps the S8+ was mighty fast as the apps were opening instantly, but there was
a small delay in the Note4.
Regardless, the Note4 still performed outstanding for a phone that was released in late 2014.
When It comes to multitasking is where the Note4 may start giving you some problems with
its 3GBs of RAM.
As we started opening several apps the phone started getting a little sluggish, but it
is expected as it doesn’t have the latest operating system and the 4 GBs of RAM that
S8+ does.
In my opinion the Note4 still performed pretty well, as it responded pretty well while I
was multitasking with a few of apps..
Now let’s talk about the battery!!
The S8+ will have a 3500 mah battery while the Note4 will rock a 3220 mah battery.
With the S8+ you will get fast charging and wireless charging.
The Note 4 will support quick charging which is not as powerful, but still will allow you
to charge your phone pretty fast.
On the other hand you can go from 0 to 100 if you have an extra battery fully charged,
as the Note 4 does support the removable battery, something that the S8+ lacks.
Even if you would want to add wireless charging capabilities to the Note4 you could, as you
can buy a wireless charging kit for a budget price.
Now let’s look at the digital finger reader.
The Note 4 will support swipe finger reader from the front power button, while the S8+
will support touch finger reader which is located next to the rear camera.
While using it on the Note 4 you have to wake up the phone and then swipe your finger, while
on the S8+ you only need to touch the sensor for the phone to wake up and unlock instantly.
Even though the Note4 sensor was designed some time ago, it is still pretty responsive.
There are so many other features we could touch on like the fact that the S8+ doesn’t
have one of this!!
Or that the Note4 doesn’t have the latest Bluetooth capabilities..
but we will get into that in another video!
We covered the comparison between the two phones on some of most important factors when
it comes to deciding on a phone.
If you currently want to pickup the S8+ , it will cost you about $800 and if you want to
pick up the Note4 it will cost about $250.
