People are idiots. Benchmarks mean nothing - the peak IO difference will only make a difference in benchmarks and not real world use. If your phone doesn't have any other problems, be happy and enjoy it. Unless you're using your S8 as a file server then you should be pissed.

Hi all! Ive just noticed on Samsung's official site that the bluetooth version is 4.2. Other sites they were saying the bluetooth vers. is 5.0. Also the flash chip is 2.0 on the same site https://shop.samsung.com/uk/samsung-galaxy-s8-sm-g955fzkabtu-64gb-midnight-black-300626/ . Can someone check obout that? very curios!!! Thanks!

Agree! You are right! The only noticeable difference will be when you will copy a file from the phone to a PC with an SSD/mSATA drive (on an HDD the transfer times will be identical between UFS 2.0 and 2.1) but even then, the difference will be a couple of seconds. Seconds people! :rolleyes:

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] evo4g63t:
I find it funny how people seem to think this behavior is totally acceptable, it's not. They specifically advertised ufs 2.1 and some of them are coming with ufs 2.0.

Allowing to get away with something this small they will continue to do it to cut costs what's next resolution differences yet charging the same price for inferior components? How about different battery capacities? Is this ok too? I mean they're still basically the same phone right?

If they're going to do this they either need to cut the price of the ufs 2.0 models or make it consistent across the board.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] DanteSSS333:

Random read is the only metric that matters for ~98% of real world performance. I think (to me anyway) it's pretty self explanatory if you know ANYTHING about computer hardware (I assume SOME of you here do). Clearly there is quite a large (~35%) difference between UFS 2.1 and 2.0. How many times you are being bottlenecked at ~95-100mbps random read - I don't know. It depends what size apps you use and how much total internal storage you have used. The more total % of internal storage that is used, the more this metric will start to affect real world performance. (especially above 80% used).

Also this thread is completely redundant.

All exynos models = UFS 2.1

Snapdragon S8 = UFS 2.0

Snapdragon S8+ = UFS 2.1

There is no guessing needed.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Idan73:

To be fair, the biggest redeeming quality of Snapdragon is their cellular modems are the best in the business.

See: Intel vs Qualcomm modems in the iPhone. Tons of complaints and analysis that the Qualcomm modems get better reception.

Though, I don't know how Samsung's modems compare.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
The op clearly states what you just said. Did you read the op? Your post re- stating the op is redundant. ;)

If people wish to discuss this strange difference of specs within the same model phone, there's nothing wrong with that.

Strange because it's not Snapdragon vs Exynos -- as with the locked bootloader -- but instead one subset of Snapdragon (only the smaller S8).

But the rest of your post detailing speed differences was quite informative. So, I gave it a thanks.

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Whoooo?:
Hi there,

I would need some help on a decision making process and was wondering if some of you please could help me out :)

I bought a (Australian) ZTE A2017GV1.0.0B08 yesterday (on Android 6.0.1, Kernel 3.18.20) and while I am waiting for case & screen protector I am considering two options (if possible):

1) root only + xposed

2) Unlock bootloader + Lineage OS

Questions regarding 1)

- Main reason for this: Is it possible to keep the bootloader locked and root only (to keep warranty)?

- Would ‘root only’ make it possible to get rid of the ‘phoning home’? (Lineage Os might be at an advantage here) – referring to this: https://xdaforums.com/axon-7/how-to/spyware-7-1-1-update-a2017gv1-2-0b02-t3591594

- What about updates – do they need to be disabled or is it a case of simply having to re-root? Or better wait for Nougat, and root then (Or is rooting Nougat more problematic)?

Questions regarding 2)

- For installing LOS I think this is the guide I would be after? https://xdaforums.com/axon-7/how-to/guide-install-twrp-unlock-bl-flash-t3517379

- What about Lineage Os updates, are they kind of automated or do they require going through the whole process again?

- No SU in Lineage OS – what about apps that require root (e.g. Titanium) – can SU be easily switched on/off for using such an app? Or is it better to root then and hope Google doesn't complain?

- Does the newest LOS still need a sound fix? https://xdaforums.com/axon-7/how-to/sound-fix-los-los-base-roms-t3587373 and https://xdaforums.com/axon-7/how-to/experience-roms-headphone-audio-t3592264

Most importantly - Which approach is less risky regarding bricking the device?

Other pros / cons to consider I didn’t think off?

Thanks a lot for your help! :)

Note: Just to clarify my level of understanding ;) – last time I played around with a phone was 2 years ago, and that simply required towelroot + installing SU + xposed. So practically a no-brainer compared to this...

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] galaxyYtester:
My screen is pretty noticeably green-tinted, but it somehow gets corrected when sliding the cool / warm slider all the way to the right, making the display more warm. Even though the issue is too much green, making the display warmer seems to fix it somehow. I know that the issue is green, because sliding down the green slider under advanced options fixes it, while sliding down the blue or red one just makes it worse

And pro tip, you can combine the cool / warm slider with the advanced options RGB sliders, if the warm / cool slider isn't enough on its own. Perfect mix for me is the cool / warm slider all the way to the right, and green slider decreased by 1-2. You could fix a bright red display with the combination of the general slider and the RGB sliders
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] jackdforme:
I'm still concerned that Samsung isn't taking this time to educate people of OLED calibration. They could put this entire thing to bed with just providing more than 2 marketing crafted sentences. Not one thing is wrong with the screen sans those with actual manufacturing issues of course. Microsoft takes their pixel sense displays, like apple and individually calibrates them. Its why you don't complain about color on iPhones and even surface PCs.

This has 0 to do with the display, the manufacturing process etc. It's just a step that Samsung and many other don't do to their phones. They take a lot # for screens produced, get them close to accurate, preprogram the variables for the entire lot and off ya go. The update is fine because all it does is give yu extended granular control over the calibrations. Once you set the point on all, you'll be fine.

Keep in mind that even if they were individually SRGB calibrated for perfect color space and white point, someone who find them to look off because as humans our perception of color varies tremendously. I hate overblown colors yet RGB 100% dead on is weak and dead to me.

Just use your settings to make your screen right for you. That's all. Don't yell at CS, don't sit in the store waiting for their next lot of phones. They will be variations of the same display with slightly more detailed calibrations. And you'll have wasted time waiting for something you can just do yourself with some patience and correct lighting.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] amon87:
Funny thing about red screen and pink tint. I have my s8 plus since a week. My device came with lots of red tint, then I got an update that really helped, but still wasn't perfect. After few days my screen lost pink/red tint without adjusting anything. Of course, little pink tint on the edges exist but it's due to screen specifics.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] gregoryostrom:
What your saying makes a lot of sense to me, maybe you can point me in the right direction here. I have the S8+ with a pink tinted screen and even pinker edges. Fortunately mine is consistent across the screen. I have 4 other Samsung phones and the Tab S 10.5, which all have great displays (at least to me they're all great). Every one has a slightly different white balance, but they're all nice. They also can be tilted at very strong angles and only have very minor tinting of the colors. Now, my S8+ has been updated and I've been able to get the edges to look great. I'm also able to get the main screen to a really nice white. Here's the two problems I'm running into that you might be able to help me learn how to fix and finish getting my phone to the quality I've grown to love with all of my other Samsung devices. If i adjust my whites in any giving environment, say inside, it looks wonderful, but as soon as I go elsewhere, like outside, or go from incandescent light to florescent, the whites will go to either redish again, or to a green/blueish. I've never had this on any of my other Samsung devices, I mean they do change from warm to cool depending on the environment I'm using them in, but they never look redish, or green/blueish like my S8+ does, they are warm or cool. That's what I'm trying to adjust my S8+ to do. I have all the great new tools that Samsung gave us in the latest update, but for some reason, I can't get it anywhere close to my other devices and have it stay that way when changing the lighting I'm in. The second problem I'm having is that if my phone isn't held almost perfectly straight on, it takes on a pink hue again. None of my other devices do this either. Like I said, all of my Samsung devices have different white balances, but they're still enjoyable to use. The main reason I've stayed strictly with Samsung is their displays, I'm a huge fan and just can't find any displays I enjoy more than Samsung's.....until now. If you can share any advice on anything I might be able to do to fix my S8+, I'd greatly appreciate it, this phone is the best one I've ever had, and I really don't want to have to return it and risk getting a dud. The display is really important to me and if i can get it to be at least as good as the worst of my other Samsung devices, it would be awesome! Thanks in advance for any advice!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] jackdforme:
Now that seems like it might actually be a dud. Or try first calibration outside. This seems silly but are you using auto bright and adaptive display?
