[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] bubblebuddyi:
I'll share my opinions and experiences.

Coming from an iPhone 7 Plus.

Screen of the S8 Plus is immediately the first attractive thing you notice. Followed by the sleek design.

I find iOS easier to use than Android. Maybe that's because i've been using it for so long, maybe it's not. I had the last 2 prior iPhones and before that more Androids.

iOS is more 'fluid' and quicker. I found the S8 to lag and shutter in random spots, followed by some jitters and slow loading times. Kind of weird. Might be still learning my usage patterns (after 5 days?)

Camera on the S8 is great. No complaints there. Editing software could use some minor improvements. Like where's my 3x3 overlay when resizing? Ever heard of 'the rule of 3rds' Samsung?

Battery life seems the same. I work in an area with sketchy service that constantly pops in and out. I do like Samsung's powersaving mode.

Samsung gives you a back button that I often confuse with the back button within the browser, I constantly press it and end up going to the previous app instead of the previous webpage. My bad.

I can't use Samsung's keyboard to save my life, I don't know why. Maybe because I'm left handed, and keep pressing the comma button instead of space bar. Will take some getting used to.

I got used to the fingerprint scanner quite quickly and eventually adapted to like it. IRIS scanner is nice, but can't use it in sun light? Come on.

Always on screen is amazing.

Too many back up options within Android. Google, Samsung, which do I use??? Google is more universal.. But Samsung is the manufacture of the phone.. so there must be some perk, right?

So many features of Android and Samsung. Maybe too many? I watched many youtube videos describing them. Still learning a lot. I will eventually learn to love them, despite using 1/4 of them. Do I really need to watch a youtube video while texting my SO? Maybe. Or porn.

I miss my swipe to go to the previous screen, along with 3D touch.

Bixby.. Don't get me started. So much potential, nothing but fail. Updated OS, button barely even works. Bixby takes so long to open if not used for awhile. And the cards they've chosen are 99% useless.. Room for a lot of improvement there. Voice should help a bit.

Did I mention the screen?

I miss stereo speakers, but in reality what did I need them for? To be that annoying kid on the back of the bus blasting music?

Holy **** Bluetooth 5.0 is amazing. I can stream Spotify strictly to my speaker and have all other sounds on my phone. Not to mention the 130ft range.

iMessage. Nothing comes close to it, sorry folks. Can't even send a GIF I made via MMS to a friend.. Because it's over the 1MB limit my service provider has generously set for me.

Did I mention making GIF's from videos? Amazingly cool but probably-won't-use feature.

A lot more flexibility with apps in Android. I can finally make my home automation dream come true. Robot greet me at the door? Yup.

I think that's it for now, I've had enough to drink. S8 Plus wins my vote, for now. If someone could take S8 hardware combined with iOS, I'd be heaven. But it's a nice dream.

P.S.

Here's a picture I took at the NYC Auto Show. Enjoy
