Didn't this person call sam user samsheep? Let's be fair. If you gonna call someone out, call out both sides. Who paid you?
This is really tempting me. It all depends on what's announced in Sept. Hardware looks amazing.
Not how ti works and a gross oversimplification of the argument for/against more/less cores.
Depends on the version to be honest. Running my S6 for 2 years now without this problem.
However, when I had my Note II, it happened within months. My nexus 5 never experienced the time drain you explain.
A gimmick to one person is a useful feature to another. Don't use "gimmick" it's an ignorant term that implies that because you dn't have use for it, nobody has use for it. The S-Pen is handy for many. it's a feature I miss from having a note device.
and it's a tentpole feature of the Note series. For those who don't need/want it, Samsung's Galaxy series without the S-Pen offers about 90% of the featureset. This is whats called "options"
The VR thing.. is very hit or miss. Gave the Gear VR a shot with the S6 to see what sort of experience it was. it was hit or miss. Somethings were done well, something were not. It's basically "VR lite" for us cheap SOB's who can't afford the full blown experiences for the desktop.
My favourite VR feature so far was Molson's in Canada with Sportsnet started offering certain NHL broadcasts with a VR camera. Really fun to watch a game of hockey live in VR.
many of the gaming experiences felt more like product demos though.

SOunds like a personal problem. Innovation in the entire industry has slowed down considerably due to the mature market nature of the cell phone/smartphone. Both samsung and Apple are the two leaders and right now even they're slow at really providing any new ground breaking featuresets. the iPhone 7 and Note 8 are more iterations on their previous versions that whole new revisions.
To each their own, but I'm not suffering. I purposely moved to iOS after repeated problems with Android. If Android/Samsung makes you happy, that's great, but there is no reason to come here to troll and Apple bash. You're wasting your time as I would be if I were on a similar pro Android/Samsung website trying to convince people about the superiority of Apple/iOS.
Personally, I think that the new Note 8 is a good looking phone with impressive specs, but as others have pointed out, the user experience on a mobile device and how that device interacts with its environment is more than hardware specs. Additionally, many Apple users are well embedded into the Apple ecosystem (multiple Apple products, using features like Handoff, iTunes media subscribers, etc.) so dumping the iPhone for an Android product would make for a very poor user experience.
Rubbish in that they're £1 DAC's (as was in the iPhone when it had an audiojack port) when there are mobile Dacs that cost £500. They're just very very cheap but do the job. It just makes me laugh when people complained about it going cos their £150 IEMs can't plug in without an adapter anymore, like the iPhone DAC could drive them properly anyway!

But I wouldn't hang around on an Samsung site just because I owned a Samsung TV once in the past and now i'll just hang around to say how good Apple devices are. It'd be weird, something a really strange unhappy person would do.
Actually the Grace UX is fantastic. This is not Touchwiz as you know it. The Note 7 UX which this is based on was considered a great step forward in Samsung's UI cadence. I've been using the S8+ since pre-launch and I have seen zero slow-down.
Huh? Where? I need a quotation, where i said that.
I am on an apple based forum, what do you expect from users from an apple based forum?
You can say the same to me, if i went to a samsung based fansite and kept bashing samsung.
But i don' t feel the need to do that, why bother?
You choose to come over here and generalize every apple user, as i sheep , etc. A sign of disrespect, provocation, and indecency.
But i realize now, that reacting on your posts, is ... useless. No real discussion, you just wanna pick a fight.
Good luck with that...
All credibility gone.
Had a S8+ myself and had some lag here and there. The dreaded slow down occurs much later into ownership. Ars Technica and Erica Griffin highlight Samsung lag in their respective pieces with the device.
Are you seriously comparing a plastic stylus for a smartphone to the Apple Pencil with 32-bit RISC ARM-based Cortex-M3 MCU from ST Micro, a Bluetooth chip from Cambridge Silicon Radio, pressure and tilt/angle sensors, etc.?
Engadget noting, "Samsung has a camera setup excellent enough to make iPhone owners consider switching."
I would have said ".....enough to make iPhone owners wait 2 more weeks for something that Samsung can't touch for at least 1 to 2 more years."

To valo. You don't disrepect anyone, you got that? Check yourself about sam users at apple forum.

good luck with that as well. Samsung is part of apple discussion. Nice try. Check yourself
Until you use the Pixel you have no idea how disturbed the Android Experience is on Samsung. Just, saying.........
Think you should be posting on Android central, not a Mac forum.
Yea, it's like looking at another really attractive humane. Then they take off the makeup.
Unfortunately, as great as the iPhone cameras are, Apple hasn't been the leader of the pack for about 2 years now.
Nobody who has a modern flagship should have issues with their cameras. from iphone, samsung, hawei, etc. These guys are all putting in superb camera sensors.
Samsung (up until the pixel) was regularly rated the best camera in market since they took that crown from the iPhone 6.
I was about to switch to android, specifically the Note 8, but then I found videos showing how much the s8 Plus lags when playing games. I had no idea this was the downside with android, the games, having to run on so many different devices, look choppy compared to on iOS. Now I'm back to waiting for the iPhone 8, I have no patience for lag, and the note 8 didn't even score as well as the s8 plus in the benchmark tests. That doesn't bode well.

That doesn't bode well.It's shipping with previous-generation Android 7.1.1 Nougat. Galaxy S8 is still on Android 7.0. These phones will never be upgradable to Oreo.
Looks like you took the wrong way. I quote other guy. My bad i wasn't aiming at you.it was pbutto guy
