7 most annoying features of the Samsung Galaxy S8
Samsung Galaxy S8 is a very worthy device. Productive, functional with excellent design, it is called the main competitor to branded smartphones Apple. Nevertheless, the South Korean flagship is not without a number of serious shortcomings. Resource igate.com has made a selection of reviews of the first smartphone buyers, dissatisfied with the work of the Galaxy S8.
1. The screen starts to glow without demand
The Galaxy S8 and S8 + are quite capacious batteries. They are without problems enough for the day of use, so charging the smartphone is usually not at the extreme, but for the future: the user goes to sleep and puts the phone to recharge. Alas, like the previous Samsung models, while charging the Galaxy S8 behaves very strange.
All Samsung smartphones have an extremely bad habit of signaling the charging of the battery by turning on the display. And this means that as soon as the battery is charged 100% in the middle of the night, the smartphone screen will illuminate the entire room with its light. Disable this behavior is not possible.
2. "Garbage" applications that can not be deleted
Users of Android-devices are already accustomed to the pre-installed garbage. Each developer tries to cram into his shell as much as possible of his own software. But, it seems, Samsung brought this disgrace to a fundamentally new level. With the Galaxy S8, the user receives 20 preinstalled applications. None of them you will not use every day. And you can not remove most of them. I'll have to put up with it.
3. Useless second shop
Another annoying addition is the Samsung Galaxy Store, which no one uses. If a person needs an application, he opens Google Play. But Samsung somehow believes that having your own store with the same applications will make the use of the smartphone more convenient. No, he will not.
4. Begins to slow down with time
The Galaxy S8 is the most powerful in the Android ecosystem, although it is inferior in performance to the iPhone 7 Plus. The device is equipped with a Snapdragon 835 processor and 4 GB of RAM. At the beginning of use, the smartphone really works fast. But the more actively you use it, the more noticeable are the small brakes. Nothing critical, this problem is observed in all Android-smartphones. But from the apparatus of such a high class you expect better quality optimization.
5. Smartphone is unfriendly towards lefties
In the past, Samsung released the Galaxy S6 Edge. Only one side of the display of this smartphone was bent, so that only the righties could use it comfortably. But even now, when the flagships have become symmetrical, the situation has not changed. Although the Galaxy S8 display is bent in both directions, the smartphone simply does not have software options for moving icons to the left side of the display. Apparently, the developers just did not think about it.
The fingerprint scanner, which is located on the side of the main camera, is also more convenient for right-handers.
6. You can not customize the application menu
Galaxy S8 runs under the operating system Android Nougat. This version of the OS offers great opportunities for personalizing the smartphone. But one of the things that you can not change in the shell of Samsung is the way to navigate the application menu. Many users prefer to view applications in the form of a list, scrolled from top to bottom. But in Galaxy S8 you can only flip pages horizontally. A trifle, but unpleasant, especially considering the narrow elongated display of the gadget.
7. Unfinished software solutions
The native software shell Galaxy S8 works pretty well. Samsung did a painstaking job, trying to diversify and supplement the basic functions of the raw version of Android Nougat. Alas, much remained unfinished.
For example, Samsung has included in its shell support for the voice assistant Google Assistant. This is very cool, especially given that the previously promised voice assistant Bixby was late with the release. In the Samsung version, the command "Okay, Google" works only if the smartphone is connected to a charger. That is, during charging, you can activate the smartphone voice. But if he just lies somewhere on the table or in his pocket - no. A very strange decision.
