[Device Reviews and Information] Alberto96:
Review (part 2)

Telephony, Mobile Network & WiFi (identical to the S8)

The device has full support for European 4G Networks, and signal reception is good. Running a standard speedtest, the result is decent, just a bit lower than what i usually get in the same position. (technically it should be way higher but this is how 4G networks are in Italy...)

WiFi Performance is great considering the WiFi Chipset used on the MT6750T, connected at 135mbps to my 5GHz WiFi Connection, it almost gets the maximum reacheable with my VDSL internet connection.

Benchmarks (identical to the S8)

I have used 3DMark, AndroBench, Antutu Benchmark, Epic Citadel, GeekBench 4, GFXBench, PCMark (Work 2.0, Computer Vision, Storage & Work 1.0) and Vellamo to stress the device to the limit. I won’t test Games or Video Playback because there are already some related tests included in these Benchmark suites.

3DMark – Pretty standard performance for this SOC, low-mid end GPU.

AndroBench – This result is a bit confusing, since read speed is outstanding for an eMMC, but write speed is pretty low.

Antutu Benchmark – I won’t say a lot about this benchmark, this isn’t as reliable as others. I’m providing this just for benchmarks lovers.

Epic Citadel – Probably due to the HD+ resolution, this benchmark crashes everytime i try to open it.

GeekBench – CPU Performance could have been better for single-core performance, a bit lower than usual, but multi-core performance matches the maximum obtainable with this SOC (MT6750T: 8x Cortex-A53).

CPU

Compute

GFXBench – Thanks to the limited HD+ resolution, OpenGL benchmarks are not as bad as on devices with the same SOC but running on a higher res screen.

PCMark – Quite decent results, not the best, neither the worst.

Work 2.0

Computer Vision

Storage

Work 1.0

Vellamo – The same consideration said for the Geekbench benchmark is valid also here regarding CPU power.

Conclusions

Well...what to say about this S8+. It is not better compared to the S8, that's obvious considering that some there are some downgrades such as the lower build quality and worse GPS antenna. Still, it is not a bad device. If you exclude the painting issue that, hopefully, is limited to the black variant, it can be considered as a good Galaxy S8 clone.

As already said for the S8, it only lacks a better OS (Stock Android instead of 360 OS) with no bloatware or malwares. If BLUBOO doesn't fix this malwares issue, found also on the S8, i still can't recommend the device, unless you can, and want, to mod the device and remove them manually (or install a custom ROM).

So, if you agree with my words written above, then go for it, otherwise, it is better to look for something else.

Pros:

Decent Camera Sensors

Presence of a Magnetometer/Compass

Notification-LED

Compact considering the screen size

Lots of RAM and Storage

Cons:

Absence of a Gyroscope

Infected and Bloated 360 OS

Suspicious Real Battery Capacity

Missing Headphone Jack

GPS Antenna should have been better
