But the only issues I have with them is:

    The fingerprint scanner on the back is in a horrible position, uncomfortable to use.
    Bixby is nowhere near ready to use, riddled with flaws
    Iris scanner isn't as accurate as people make out


Other than those the phone is definitely worth it in my opinion.


WHAt one do u think is better ?
I've mostly had iPhones all my life, as the Androids when I first had them were absolute crap, but specs wise, the S8+ is significantly better, it's down to personal preference really. So out of the two, I would go with the S8+.

Well im a paranoid conspiracy theorist so i won't be using the finger print scanner or iris but what is Bixby why is it bad?
Bixby is like Samsungs version of Siri. Voice commands etc. etc. but it's just so buggy at the moment, shouldn't have been released on the devices so soon I think.

You likely already know what I am going to say. I've been using the s8 for over three weeks now and can tell you it is worth it. Hux mentioned it, bixby isn't fully ready and it is just awkward FP scanner placement.

Just a warning like most Samsung phones you are paying for name over quality, so don't drop it the glass breaks fairly easy. The edge to edge display is a new trend, and i don't like it personally, just degrades quality heavily. But as far as camera, battery life, and responsiveness/UI design it is an overall great phone.

Also Mikey, comparing a flagship phone to a last gen phone, let alone that phone being limited to as everything you can do literally. Android is the better choice, and you aren't going to pay for a retail (non carrier no payment plan) phone ($700) for something that cost $200 to make.
