>Literally the best phone out right now >b-b-b-but the

If you're paying $700+ for a phone that is supposed to be the best the company can come out with at the moment you'd expect that they'd invest some amount of time and money seeing what would be practical. Samsung is honestly retarded for throwing that bixby button in as well. Hopefully the note 8 isn't a mess.

>>60032797
>You should NOT complain about things you don't like in your $1000 product

Off yourself

>>60032797
Frankly I'm looking forward to upgrading from an iPhone 6 to a Galaxy S8 and I fully back the fingerprint sensor comments. Below would have made it distinct in location from the camera and equally usable regardless of which hand the phone is in. Right of the camera invites a lot of camera mistouches and greatly favors use of the phone in the right hand (pointer finger ideally located to press sensor on right hand versus ring finger when phone is in left hand). The iris scanning capability mitigates but doesn't completely make up for this.

It's clearly a design compromise where Samsung had intended to fit the fingerprint sensor under the screen but couldn't make it work in time.

>>60032797
I don't like the curved edges.

This is 4chan

on /g/ they complain about good technology
on /fit/ they complain about good physiques
on /v/ they complain about good games.

>>60032927
This.

Phone would look 10x better without the edge meme. Some of those iPhone mockups look decent compared to the S8.

>he unironically pays $800 for a phone

So, s8 or s8+? What are the reasons you would get one over the other?

>>60033927
From someone whose tried both out and has the s8+: if you're the person who would get the regular iPhone, go s8. If you would get a plus, s8+

>>60033927
$100 for an extra 10mm

I've had my OnePlus One since it was released. Battery hasn't caught fire yet.

What's the current issue with this phone exactly?

>>60034090

Yeah, Yuropoors tend to buy phones instead of taking out a loan for a phone (Amerifats).

>>60034288
>Fingerprint sensor in abnormal location
You get used to it, or you use another another method of unlocking your phone
>Bixby is worthless
Don't use it. There are several apps out there that allow you to remap it to whatever you want it to do
>Screen has red tint to it
That was seen in the test models. Having yet to see a report of a production model having a red tint.

>>60034451
>Don't use it. There are several apps out there that allow you to remap it to whatever you want it to do
The current apps that let you remap the Bixby Button still make Bixby appear. Except it dissapears and then opens the app or function you want it to do. That's a limitation of the technology they're using to remap the button in the first place. So it becomes like this:

Press Bixby Button > Bixby appears > 1 second later Bixby dissapears and your app/function is opened instead

>That was seen in the test models. Having yet to see a report of a production model having a red tint.
There are a fuckton of people with red tint screens with retail models.

>android

>>60034473
bxActions was updated and Bixby doesn't appear at all.

>>60034487
Call me when iOS is plug'n'play with any PC regardless of OS and has actual file management.

Then I might buy an iPhone instead of Android.

>>60034520
It does with the latest version. I see Bixby appearing and then dissapearing.

>>60034526
>Call me when iOS is plug'n'play with any PC regardless of OS and has actual file management.
Android isn't plug-and-play with Macs. You need to download special Android software to access the file system.

>>60034520
>>60034537
I believe Samsung patched so it can't be remapped.

Or the app maker might have fixed that by now.

>>60034562
I'm using it right now, it was updated today.

>>60034550
I don't have a Mac so not an issue. I do however have 2 Linux systems and 1 Windows system and Android is plug'n'play with all 3 of them.

>>60034583
>I don't have a Mac so not an issue.
So you don't mean "any PC", but rather "my PC".

>>60032927
also the curvature of the screen itself in the corners is way too much. it looks so shitty

>>60034591
I have several PCs so read again. What's the point of a Mac without an iPhone, and an iPhone without a Mac? Android is operable with majority of computers on the market. iPhone isn't.

>>60034625
>Android is operable with majority of computers on the market. iPhone isn't.
iPhone works with Windows and macOS, so that more than encompasses "majority of computers on the market".

>>60034641
Last I checked you can't drag and drop music files to an iPhone on Windows in the file explorer whereas you can with Android.

>>60034648
Do you do anything else than move the goalposts?

>>60034669
When did I ever move the goalposts? iOS isn't plug'n'play.

>>60034694
Plug and play doesn't mean "can drag and drop files"

Can you do that with your plug and play mouse, dipshit?

>>60034694
Neither is Android. But that doesn't matter because you moved the goal posts from being plug and play with any computer to being plug and play with your computer.

And of course, operating system supporting the phone OS was moved into "need ability to move music files with Windows Explorer".

>>60034709

Yes, I can drag and drop files with my mouse.

>Literally the best phone out right now

There literally is no such thing, you fucking moron, because what's best for you is absolutely not what's best for me or a few billion other people.

>stupid fucking people will be the death of us all

>>60034709
Semantics.

>>60034710
Yes, so plug'n'play. Good we both agree on that the iPhone lacks native file management with Linux and Windows and only has support for it on Mac.

>>60034780
>Yes, so plug'n'play.
Which Android isn't.

>>60032797
The fingerprint scanner is kinda awkward to use but there are other security features to unlock the phone with that are also pretty good.

Nigger, this is something that's already a complaint straight out of the box so much that Samsung had to release an update to fix the horrendous lag already.

That's bad.

>>60034991
That's so not even close to true, boyo.

If you don't have mtp libs installed on a Linux machine, good luck with your "plug n play"

And there iPhone is basically an iPod with phone functionality, not an external hard drive. If you want to plug it in and drag n drop, you'll have to use iTunes on Windows, and stuff like gtkpod on Linux. The functionality is there, you just have to use software other than just a file manager.

However, by the generally accepted definition of plug n play, meaning you plug it in and start using it after installation of the required software to use the hardware (drivers, control panel software, etc), iPhones certainly fit the category of plug n play. You don't need to do any advanced configuration to use the hardware. You install iTunes and plug in the iPhone.

>>60035319
And you don't need to install anything for Android.

>>60032797
People can't handle change. See iPhone.

Also its chique right now to make 18 snapchat posts, a Vice article, and 13 facebook/instagram posts on why you hate something

>>60035334
You're retarded and/or can't read.

Of course they're gonna bitch, they didn't pay for them. ~75% of /g/ is underage, like the rest of 4chan. They begged mommy and daddy to let them use their upgrade, they didn't spend a penny on them. Harder to appreciate things you didn't spend your own money on.

>>60035365
Just wait, the goalposts will move again to be only about Windows and ubuntu based Linux distros because those all ship with mtp (though I have yet to plug in a single Android phone in the last 9 years that didn't trigger a driver download the first time I plugged it in)

>>60035381
This.

If I'm spending $800+ on something I'm going to make damn sure it's something I won't HAVE to bitch about because I do my research before spending my hard earned money. That's probably why I'm posting this from a Galaxy S3 because fuck spending money on something new when what I have works fine

I find it really hard to use android because of the amount of text messaging sent day to day. I use iMessage because it's convenient.

Oh boy I was really nostalgic for the nineties when you got a rental VHS and it was rewound so much that the tops and bottoms of the screen had this stretch thing going on from the film being warped.

>no side bezzle
There's this brilliant 100% effective grip detection technology so that the phone doesn't think you're trying to use the screen.

It's called not being a fucking screen.

This is also a major structural flaw for getting cases. Virtually every single case is going to only protrude on the tops and bottoms.

>le curved corners

Yes I want to deal with what is essentially hundreds of dead pixels because corners are scary or something.
