This was in my suggested vids, and I went "Yeah right, coz I can afford that". A few hours later my mother came home and instructed me to set up her new phone which was, surprise surprise, S8 in Maple Gold. LOL. So in the end, I found this to be the most helpful S8 tips video ( I watched a few others as well), and now I've liked and subscribed. :)

I actually like the placement o the fingerprint sensor. It feels natural to unlock because your hand is wrapped around the back when you use a phone anyway. So I just pick the thing up and tap/slide my finger over the sensor and works great. But I have a case so it is easy to feel. I had my case off for an hr yesterday and now I understand wy people hate it. everything is so smooth and flush (not a bad thing), that differenciating between the different components on the back is hard. But thankfully the sensor is really good and takes your print from multiple angles so just brief contact usually does it for me. If you guys have the s8 and want to use you Fingerprint reader, I highly reccomend getting a case, spigen is my personal favorite, or a skin for the back of your phone.

Watching this on an iPhone 6s.... 😪 can't wait to get my S8+. It'll be my first android phone ever.

I got my new galaxy s8 yesterday and in just one day I love it. I used to have an iphone and now there are so many things that is on the s8 that never has been put on any of the iphones. There are features that you can customize and make your phone unique and to your liking. This is a great phone and I recommend it to people that are looking into samsung phones or just an upgrade.

Super psyched to get my hands on a S8. Personally I do believe the stock themes and wallpapers on a device are the best (because they've been optimised etc) and you're the first you tuber to cover that with the S8 which I really appreciate. Keep up the good work and hoping to see more of your videos.

Great info! Thank you for taking the time to make this video! Just tried setting up the pattern and finger print security! Wanted to tell you that you had said after 30 wrong attempts your phone gets wiped. Reading on my S8+ it said it will be wiped after 15 failed attempts. May want to check and see if the number of times is different than other Samsung's or between the S8 & S8+.
Thanks again for the video!

they released an update that basically already makes every app use the whole screen and if it doesn't, when you open certain apps it'll prompt you to see if you want it to take the full screen

Use game launcher for games. It's a great app for games, includes multiple features like record gameplay, full screen, no alerts during game, and edge touch lock so you don't accidentally hit the edge drawer. If you haven't used this feature, I would recommend it.

Just sold my IPhone X on Ebay and got an S8. Only had it a few hrs but so far it’s fantastic

Did the colour wheel got removed for the home button background? because i dont have it anymore.

Being mostly left handed with my phone, I find the fingerprint scanner very easy to use and have no issues. Right handed use does make it awkward and harder to use.

How can you improve voice commands. they made a big step backwords on the new s8

[RokPodaro]

why I cant find color panel in navigation bar, I can only select given colors not to customize?

[pradeepkumar-lvqi]

I planned to take samsung s8 on coming months. I really worried myself because so many of them telling that s8 have too many damn problems like random restart and red tint so I need a techie advise like yours. I need your help folks.

Awesome video. What is your basic CPU and Battery temperature (App: Droid Info) after a standby? and than after 10 minutes Facebook, Instagram and Internet use over LTE/Wifi? Thank you very much in advance for your engagement, Cheers Mark
