      Is samsung galaxy s8 plus a good phone?
      sheree.leuschke
      almost 2 years ago
      The Galaxy S8 plus is a fine phone that still feels modern despite its age, but it's too expensive to be a worthy purchase in 2019. If you're going to spend $350 on a Galaxy S8, you're far better off spending a little extra and getting the next-generation Galaxy S9 instead since it's also been discounted.

      What is good about Samsung S8 plus?
      dale
      over 1 year ago
      TechRadar Verdict. The Galaxy S8 Plus is the Android phone you want if you like big and tall smartphones. The amazing display, great camera and slick software should make you forget about the awkwardly placed fingerprint scanner and the half-bake Bixby assistant.

      Is the S8 worth it in 2022?
      darren.vandervort
      over 1 year ago
      It has better specs, a better camera, a longer future of software updates, and tons of little improvements. The Galaxy S8 may be over two years old, but it still feels like a modern and capable phone.

      Why S8 plus battery drain fast?
      saul.schuster
      over 1 year ago
      It is possible that due to unhealthy charging cycles or due to a voltage issue the battery installed inside your mobile has lost its health and has been damaged. A battery that is not healthy won't provide significant battery timings and will drain faster than a normal battery..

      Yes. With One UI 2, your Samsung Galaxy device now has a document scanner built-in, with the ability to automatically detect documents like letters, business cards, and notes that you can scan with just a tap. To try it out, just open your Camera app and point the phone at a document.

      How often should i charge my samsung galaxy s8 plus?
      hisako
      almost 2 years ago
      Charge Regularly Repeatedly allowing the battery to drain fully may shorten its life and decrease its overall capacity. If this happens, you'll need to charge the battery more frequently and it may last only a few hours before needing a charge, for example.

      Both the Samsung Galaxy S8 and the larger S8 Plus are again fully compatible with the Qi standard, meaning they can be charged without the need of plugging a cable. This feature adds freedom and convenience at home with the use of a personal wireless charger, in cars, in the office or in public venues.
