Galaxy S8 & S8+ Review: The Best There is - Deal with It

[@jon4lakers]

This is the first video in what we hope will be the new TechnoBuffalo style. Show it some love and let us know what you think.

[@migueloscarsv]

TechnoBuffalo way better than the conventional reviews.. just one thing, try (if possible) to keep videos at 8 minutes max, for me longer than that equals im not staying till the end

[@houndlifevlogs1055]

TechnoBuffalo Very nicely done 😊👍🏻 At the end of the day though, I'm really just interested in your opinion and review above style 😊

[@jkmast9581]

TechnoBuffalo wow nice filming which is definitely different from others😉

[@theace3164]

TechnoBuffalo amazing stuff jon and Nate the s8 is really an amazing phone I just hope it doesn't lag after a year well Atleast the snapdragon version ik the exynos version is good

[@jordanabreu2209]

How come there wasn't a LG G6 review

[@dannywinget]

Beautifully done! I love it.

[@jon4lakers]

Much appreciated man, thank you! 👊

[@anthonysavena7549]

finally a phone reviewer that actually tells us what he thinks is best instead of saying I'll let u guys decide😊

[@jon4lakers]

That's what we set out to do.

[@anthonysavena7549]

TechnoBuffalo I'm saying when phone reviewers compare 2 phones they don't actually tell us what one is best

[@elv3a424]

That's because no phone is objectively better. That's like wanting a reviewer to tell you whether apples or oranges are better; there is no answer.

[@robglobal1]

Anthony savena that's not true if your talking about the most capable device. All phones are not created equal but if 2 were equal then they're both the best out. What one can not determine is what device is "best" for each individual needs or wants, that's a different thing.

[@Markcool2011]

Anthony savena because people get pissed as shit if someone says something is better than something else

[@AlexanderCheney]

Great cinematography, looks super crispy. Plus really well, full review.

[@jon4lakers]

Thanks man, that's what we were going for.

[@ajithdezoysa6724]

Alexander Cheney remind me mr. mobile giveaway comment ? thanks😊

[@Slynell1]

i got the s8 plus today and wow, this phone is good. absolutely beautiful with great battery

[@mjcapo1]

Slynell1 How is it holding so far? Was it worth it?

[@slimHaRDaWaY513]

love the s8+... switched back from iPhone. definitely the cleanest UI Samsung has had.

[@kennethcox9883]

shalon rogers is it worth it? I am thinking about switching back also from my 7 plus

[@RoboRope]

Depends on what you want. I have both and the S8+ just aint getting me excited. I love the display, but other than that from a feature point of view its like a step back from Mate9 and Note7. I've decided to send it back and wait for the stereo enabled N8 with dual screen cameras. Oh the speaker phone is the worst. I could barely hear the other person on the other end of the phone in my house. All of this is my OP. I love phones and have zero brand loyalty and for me this phone is not the one.

[@thbabni]

Yeah the UI is by far the cleanest Android UI... Launcher? Dafuq lol. Stock Android looks terrible cause of the on screen buttons on the bottom. Sammy did it better... everything. even if Bixby doesnt really work. for now... it looks amazing especially with S health in there... and the fingerprint scanner... people just dont have anything to talk about thats bad so they keep smashing it... Oh this other youtuber said this... imma say it too :P

[@mjcapo1]

shalon rogers How is it holding up so far? Was it worth the money?

[@HeyMarkL]

Wow this looks amazing! Well done, team! This is next level.

[@jon4lakers]

Thanks man! You know, we could really use some assistance soon...

[@thorschroeder7995]

TechnoBuffalo if you need any help, I'm game!

[@VegasSlotsVP]

just one little side note: The fingerprint reader is not so bad for leftys like me. Have a great day!

[@ewvdl]

Helen Bovay I just have to hold it in a weird way, but you get used to it and hardly notice it

[@WeedIsHealthyForYou]

I know it's not hard to reach for lefties, but do you end smudging the camera?

[@FoodFighter46]

When I saw the rear, i quickly imagined flash above the camera and fingerprint sensor below the camera. That will still give symmetry design and will be easier for right/left user.

[@WeedIsHealthyForYou]

Can someone answer my question?

[@VegasSlotsVP]

I have NOT smudged my camera. I'm not a spastic as Mr. Ford thinks. I have always held my phone in my left hand and it is very simple to use the fingerprint reader for me.

[@eriktheblue3496]

I held one Wednesday, and the S8+ is a go! This phone is a monsta 👍😎

[@LuvMyLilBabe]

noname stick with your boring iPhone lol

[@life_is_great3548]

Erik the Blue you had it and hated it??

[@eriktheblue3496]

Loved it👍😎

[@suicidesilence4444]

Erik the Blue I have a feeling you like watching flossy Carter videos.

[@KINGNESS2324]

Erik the Blue exactlt

[@marcusbongiovi4114]

have had my S8+ for 8 days now. all I have to say is the camera is amazing! battery life has been off the charts for me. with heavy usage im getting 8 hours of SOT with 16-20 hours of use on a charge. the design is flawless.

[@RenzAzn274]

I really wish people would stop complaining about the fingerprint sensor, its fine once you use it for awhile and get used to it

[@edgararellano6143]

YeojaXion right? I think it's perfect. I mean I can see why people are bad talking it. Sometimes I can't tell what I'm feeling cause the camera is as flush as the fingerprint scanner. Also I'm using the regular S8. Alot easier to hold.

[@edgararellano6143]

But... People always have to criticize something. No one is ever happy 😊

[@PeteS_1994]

YeojaXion Why does it bother you that others don't like the fingerprint placement?

[@JamesWilkinson11]

Best review of the S8 I've seen, and I've seen a lot. Just received my black S8+ and I love it. Thank you for the review, cinematography and all.

[@pEr5on4LLy]

What I like about it best, is the phone gets so bright I never have to use it at the max indoors. It saves soooo much battery life because of that. This phone is incredible. Also, the fingerprint sensor is EASY to reach. I love my S8+

[@Josh-he7zb]

Drew P. Baulsach should I go s8 or s8+?

[@pEr5on4LLy]

Josh Bker I say get more for your money and get the plus. My wife has the S8...both are great devices...so you won't go wrong. But to answer again...that S8+ turns heads. Awesome device.

[@pEr5on4LLy]

Josh Bker Also, to combat the fingerprint dilemma, I got black and orange DBandz skins for the back, cam, and front. It's beautiful.

[@Josh-he7zb]

Drew P. Baulsach thanks!

[@pEr5on4LLy]

Josh Bker Not a problem big homie. Peace fam.

[@-TJ-]

I held a dummy model and I never touched the camera. I think these videos are exaggerating the placement of the fingerprint scanner to make Samsung change it. If you buy it, you will probably find that it is fine.

[@thegoat-ishere4414]

-TJ- if they want the placement to change it is because its a bad location

[@polofunk]

-TJ- I have an S8+ I carry it in my right hand, the finger print scanner feel normal not awkward at all, I don't know why some of these reviewers are saying that unless it's in your left hand, don't listen to them joker saying it's awkward, I agree i tell people try it for yourself.

[@thegoat-ishere4414]

polofunk so your cool with smudges on your camera huh

[@polofunk]

the GOAT -IsHere• seriously I haven't once put my finger on the camera lens I hold it in my right hand my finger fit comfortable on the finger print scanner guess I'm lucky

[@thegoat-ishere4414]

polofunk guess so but I hope i get as lucky as you when i get mine.

[@nickackermanchannel]

Amazing Review Jon! Thank you for continuing to create these awesome high quality videos using the S8 plus it is a great device indeed :)

[@jon4lakers]

Thanks Nick!

[@Ryan-tn4gk]

it's my second day with the s8 plus and I LOVE the placement of the fingerprint sensor. I have never touched the camera even once.

[@DjangoGroen]

Ryan mcmorris without a case?

[@MrPowerKid11]

watching it on my s8+

[@Slynell1]

its a very pleasant sight isnt it

[@luigynkaren062011]

MrPowerKid11 same here, ain't it gorgeous!!

[@mackiahhenry6261]

MrPowerKid11 can someone send me one

[@luigynkaren062011]

thereeldoge sorry brother lol, if you can't afford it go put a down payment and you walk out with one lol.

[@mackiahhenry6261]

lol

[@heastin92532]

I just got this device for my work phone and OH MY GOD! I have never had a Samsung device that made feel this excited. I have an Iphone 7plus for my personal, and I have been using the S8+ more often. I can not get over the screen, it is the best screen that I have ever seen on a phone. I don't use Bixby, and touchwhiz, and like you I love what they have done with Android as well. Samsung has knocked this out of the park!

[@abasu007]

Holy shit, they got the smoke machine out for this 🤣

[@jon4lakers]

😇

[@abasu007]

Just finished watching, great review and love the new format 👍

[@jon4lakers]

Thanks man!

[@chris-id6vk]

if any phone deserves it, it's this

[@gauravpangarkar]

Basunator MKBHD did it already

[@demontewade658]

Best phone I've ever owned, and people comparing the g6 to this phone is straight idiots there is nothing to compare here s8 plus demolishes the g6 so people please cut it out. The g6 looks like a block of clay compared to the s8 plus.

[@Z_place_holder1234]

Mickey Mania tell it to the people who want a secure brick. plus your arrogance isn't helpful since it is better because there are no curves

[@Z_place_holder1234]

Mickey Mania maybe your an idiot because I literally told you that the g6 was a brick.

[@demontewade658]

Stuffy Pancake Yeah man I'm sorry I apologize I'm not a morning person lol. But hey don't call me arrogant 😁😁😁

[@Z_place_holder1234]

Mickey Mania OK, I also saw your comment in the morning and I was feeling a little salty

[@johniechiong4676]

yeah, the winning points in G6 is the price... and dual lens?

[@prpann]

I LOVE this new format Keep it up!

[@jon4lakers]

We appreciate that, thank you!

[@shasterdhari]

This was an amazing review! I loved the cinematography and the beautiful shots! The background music fits perfectly with the narration, and speaking of the narration, it's really soothing! I loved how you actually told us how you found the phone and how it was too use from a personal experience; especially how you used it at Home Depot and in the real world with your family, because that's how I use it and it gave a good insight as to how it'll perform. It was great you told us your experience first and specs last, because if you had shown specs first like other reviewers do, it kinda creates a bias to the viewer that they keep throughout the video. Overall, I LOVE this new style. Also, the logo at the end was a nice touch.

[@eannamc]

anyone else watching this on the S8+ ?

[@earth4180]

Éanna McClean I wish

[@suicidesilence4444]

Éanna McClean I am. and with performance mode on with brightness at 100% and it's too much eye candy.

[@juiceneros]

Éanna McClean agreed. same here. i have mines maxed out on brightness. to beautiful of a screen not too.

[@MobileDecay]

I ordered mine yesterday. Right now I'm using a Motorola Droid turbo. I finally am getting a phone I want. 😁

[@MobileDecay]

AVA4444 Doesn't that kill the battery?

[@irohitx]

Samsung~ World Leader in Mobile Phone Industry! I have total 9 Samsung Products in my home 2 Tv's, Fridge, AC, Oven, 3 Mobile's & Home Theatre. Thank u Samsung for making life better.

[@benjprf]

I have an S8, absolutely stunning device.

[@jon4lakers]

+benjconduct glad you dig it.

[@KenichiEdbert]

I enjoyed the review for the S8 and S*+ here. Technobuffalo has improved quite a lot in recent years, the cinematography and the review has been straight up amazing. Keep on improving Jon & Technobuffalo team!

[@lg763]

I hope i can help here, i'm using an s8+ and the fingerprint sensor is easy to use if you have the correct number of chromosomes, and the speakers sound better than most, and the screen is incredible, if you are on the fence..... get it!

[@syahrulh687]

Hi Jon and TB team. Great phone review format. Shows the phone from an average user perspective in a real world use. I always love your review. One comment from me. I don't know if you realize this, but when you start your sentences, it's always loud and clear, but towards the end your voice becomes slower and slower. Then you start a new sentence again in clear voice, towards the end it slows down again. Because you speak quite fast, sometimes I didn't quite catch what you were saying. You can see this pattern in your other videos as well. Just a thought, perhaps it's something to improve on. Overall, great work and awesome video. keep up the great work..!

[@TheMasterdj12345]

the only question left is will it blend?

[@thegoat-ishere4414]

jeremy vega will it explode? Jk love Samsung

[@Kedde33]

I just bought an s8 three days ago (had a Sony Xperia Z3 before that) an I'm totally sold. I love everything about it. And I simply cannot understand why everyone seems to complaining about the placement of the finger print scanner?! At least for me it is super easy to find it. First of all it's not in the middle of the phone so come on just aim. Secondly there is a slight elevated edge around it that is easy to feel. So at least for me it's not a problem at all, and I love how quick it unlocks the phone.

[@sanjay4841]

Best S8 review i have seen so far......👍 GOOD JOB..

[@jon4lakers]

+Sanjay gowda we appreciate that. Thanks man.

[@antoinereese4295]

I really like the fact that it's a longer video, please don't change that. The review format was awesome, talking about the features in context of use is so much nicer than just doing a run down of the spec sheet.

[@sirsethers]

That is a gorgeous phone and I wish I had gotten it in that color. I just got a S8+, well when they came out since I pre-ordered, but I wasn't sure if I would like the all-black, but turns out I would have seeing it in a real-world usage. I still love the phone so this is definitely a #FirstWorldProblem

[@benjamintenbuuren9652]

I love you new style of filming the video! It really shows how the phones perform in real life. Looking forward for the next review!

[@iceicebabyil]

I love you John

[@dhanajitray6861]

WOW.. JUST WOW.... you guys have been upping the ante...... Apart from the verge.. the editing is the best and the writing is truly the BEST.. addicted to this now

[@jkmast9581]

is any giveaway for this smartphones

[@rickyjr.nomura9235]

I was a little worried of the lack of videos coming out lately. I have been a long fan of Technobuffalo back when it was called "jon4lakers" and it's great to see you guys back to form. I hope you continue bringing out videos every week so that I can get my weekly tech news fix.

[@ginocolin1491]

John keepin it real 😏

[@jon4lakers]

Only way I know how.

[@faheem26]

OMG! This is exactly what we expect from a review!!! It's awesome! Please continue this style! Firstly, the review was excellent... It included every nitty bit of info, a good detailed review... It covered all aspects! Two thumbs up for that! 👍🏼👍🏼 Secondly, the new style is what we expect from @TechnoBuffalo... not the usual studio settings! The cinematography on this video is excellent! Keep it up! Thirdly, you drove home with the point which touched my heart! The video showed you spending a day with your kid and using the phone to take videos of your outing with him... This is basically what we expect from a high end smartphone! The question that pops up in our head when we want to buy a new phone is, does it have a good camera? Can I take pics and videos of my kids? Will the battery last long? Will I be able to see the screen in broad daylight? Is it water proof? As a dad, these are the first things that come to our mind when we plan on buying a new phone! And you touched all these points! Thanks for the great review and keep up the good work! Looking forward to more such reviews!

[@houndlifevlogs1055]

Hmm - To get this or wait for the new upcoming iPhone in a few months? What do you guys think?

[@jon4lakers]

Open that can of worms at your own risk.

[@calvingreen7197]

Hound Life Vlogs news360.com/article/400346691

[@kstevens0915]

Hound Life Vlogs I have the same dilemma...hummmm. Decisions, decisions

[@robglobal1]

Hound Life Vlogs easy choice...if you want a basic phone and won't use all the features go iPhone. If you want a phone that gives many more options and capabilities the S8 is currently top in the world in that category. Both will work well and have roughly same battery life. Personally I can't deal with the boringness of the iPhone.

[@luigynkaren062011]

Hound Life Vlogs is an obvious choice, get it you will be in love.

[@khaldounal-nuaimi3594]

That video is literally perfect in every way!!! The color grading, the cinematography, and the music are all perfect! Seriously this is amazing! Keep up the fabulous work!

[@84FrankDaTank]

I think it looks great in black

[@MinhPham0407]

12:13 the included headphone is Samsung made, and only tuned by AKG. A bit sneaky there for Samsung to throw the AKG brand on it.

[@DeathN0cturnal]

lol i dont know why people are upset about the placement of the fingerprint sensor. if youre not a moron, you'll find it easy to use :P

[@Calsuis]

I been using the s8 for over two weeks and literally out of the box I had no problem with it

[@jon4lakers]

The + is way harder to find due to the larger size.

[@rtech5347]

TechnoBuffalo true that S8 is easy to identify but s8+ is harder

[@DeathN0cturnal]

i understand because of actual size, but im talking about people hitting the camera with their finger. i never hit the camera at all.

[@eTreyu27]

with a case on it, I'm having no issue finding the fingerprint reader on my S8+, but i understand why you might with a naked phone. Also, the face recognition is pretty fast, but having glasses on or off makes it super annoying. I wish you could have more than one face per user. 3 would be awesome. Iris scanning is cool, but too hit or miss. As such even with the awkward placement, the fingerprint reader has been the best for me. Smart unlock also very key to helping make this much less annoying

[@santarcangelo21]

Jon, you are among my most favorite youtubers (period). You're so genuine and just seem like a great person! I love the quality and real feedback you give in your videos. Please keep staying true and driver great content through a great platform

[@ricog8209]

nice review but why do you guys keep stressing on how hard it is to reach the fingerprint sensor? I can't understand why you hold your phone so close to the bottom instead of in the middle where your hand will be able to reach the top of the phone easily.

[@colbalt95]

Rico g people typically have a finger under the phone to support one handed function.

[@ricog8209]

colbalt95 sure but when you actually take up your phone to unlock it you're not usually using it at that point.

[@ThePleasure858]

Hey John, I´m a follower for some years now and I just wanted to say, I really like that you use the devices as a daily driver for some days before you post your reviews. Great job and gerat channel! :)

[@xavierc5340]

every review of the phone says something negative about the fingerprint sensor placement from touching the camera, to difficult to reach and a few other things yet I've not had an issue reaching it and if you touch the camera it's great at not smudging so kind of blown out of proportion

[@MarvinNeumannOfficial]

May I ask what music you used for the video?

[@iceicebabyil]

I love the new touchwiz to, first Samsung phone I got that I didn't download nova on

[@kennethcox9883]

Hey.. what's the smart watch you're using?

[@MegaMarlon0123]

its just the best phone!

[@DaneReidVoiceOver]

I bought this phone and love it. It's a bit taller than I'm used to so harder to use with one hand. The fingerprint reader is oddly located so I use the iris scanner. And for the first time ever I actually love the software and didn't download a launcher either. Although I still changed the keyboard to Swype. Overall this is the best phone out right now IMO. And it's sexy looking too

[@edualv320]

I want the S8 right now

[@amarshahme89]

Man, loving the effort you're putting into this video, especially at the beginning couple of minutes. Would love to see more of that. And one just have to commend your honest reviews! Salute from Malaysia.

[@jon4lakers]

+Amar Shah thank you Amar. This is our new standard.

[@hiah7105]

I have no problem reaching the finger print scanner it not the best position but I have no problem finding it .

[@MrTonyman4575]

Hello All its my second day with the S8+ and I love playing video games on it watching KZbin. You're right , just doing simple stuff is fun and looks and feels great. I went from a Note 4 Edge to the S8+. So happy right now.

[@trillboygaming4332]

Samsung Pay is the best payment method ever using a phone!

[@josheck4189]

John an amazing video review as always, keep doing what you're doing! Amazing videography Nate!

[@Smartsparky]

Ok... Here's my story, Pre Ordered S8+, been using 8days, was using iPhones since 2010 then last year switched to S7 Edge as iPhones were boring me to tears, Sold my S7 Edge to get cash together to ore order S8+, whilst waiting on my S8+ to arrive I was using an iPhone 5S, well since having the S8+ I now kinda got used to IOS so I'll be sending mine back and getting iPhone 7, Absolutely love the S8+ in design but IOS 10 is really good. For me I feel I don't need all the bells and whistles that Samsung offer, Things I'll miss, Memory card support, the display, Fast Charging, Things I'm looking forward to going forward, The Home button, Siri, Mute Switch, The Camera, iMovie, Texting (easier) Speed and fluidity. Facetime to keep in better contact with my sister in law who is deaf and lip reads, iMessege. Please don't respond with nasty comments. Just respect were all different.

[@robglobal1]

Phone Daft almost every feature you just mentioned or maybe even all are available on the S8 in one way or another. But everybody is different and some people just like boring there's nothing wrong with that.

[@jakobbaumann8298]

Phone Daft are u dumb? camera ? what do you mean ? s8 camera is better. Siri? you have that with google assitant which is better than Siri ? what the fuck are u even talking about

Where did you get the additional snap-chat like camera filters? I didn't know you could add additional ones.

[@williamdawson9942]

WHERE'S THE LG G6 REVIEW

[@luigynkaren062011]

David Ford right? lol😂

[@twany442]

William Dawson Because it brings in reviewers to the Channel which in turns brings in revenue to his business. That's why everyone's reviewing it. More reviewers = more subscribers= more sponsors= more money! Don't worry they won't show it any love because it doesn't make money for them.

[@SKSTrials]

Always loving your reviews Jon. I like how detailed you were with the sign in methods. Keep it up man!

[@davosholdos1253]

After owning my s8+ for a few weeks now the fingerprint scanner is easy to locate. You'll develope the muscle memory naturally. If you make that the issue for this phone, you are just a spoiled baby.. find a REAL reason to cry next time..

[@Z_place_holder1234]

scuba steve oh and go hold a different phone and you will find out how ridiculous you will feel by reaching for something that doesn't exist.

[@TheWastedsamsanite]

great job on this review. love the new way you guys shoot the video. keep up the good job.

[@ryanberardelli2363]

HOLY B-ROLL this video is gorgeous

[@jon4lakers]

Thanks Ryan. Andrew crushed it!

[@ryanberardelli2363]

Can't wait to pick my own S8 in Orchid Gray. Still waiting on my preorder

[@0097King]

Loving the new style! your content has always been great, and now good to see some changes to production as well!

[@aryalsuresh1]

Huge cons for me: No stereo speakers and software updates are really slooooowwwww. Otherwise a good phone (mind you not great) because this is the first of its kind design and they will perfect it with the S9 (just like S6>S7). At the moment, no reason to upgrade my S7.

[@StopMediaFakery]

Yes, they will save the improvements for the next one. That's just how these big companies operate, they need people to have a reason to buy the next one. Then after that, when people get bored, they could switch to foldable, providing they see demand for it.

[@f-22raptor25]

Suresh Aryal clear app cache. your phone won't get slow. there's a shortcut for this in device maintenance idk if the s7 has it but s8 does

[@aryalsuresh1]

Hi Amir, I meant the updates are slow, not the actual phone itself. S7 on Nougat has been blazing fast for me. Cheers :)

[@f-22raptor25]

Suresh Aryal oh I see

[@johniechiong4676]

S8 has mono speaker that's just as loud as the iphone 7's stereo speakers. And for the TERRIBLY SLOW updates, yeah it's super slow, but EVEN the S6's TouchWiz has more features than Nougat, and probably the android O

[@JC-ej3er]

I, over the years, have owned every brand of phone as well as many Android and IOS phones. I bought the iPhone 7 Plus about 2.5-3 months ago and absolutely love Apple, no hate or phone wars from me. Then when the S8+ was released I decided to go ahead and get it as well and have the best of both worlds. The s8+ feels amazing, a bulky case like an Otterbox truly took the sleek feel of it away, and one case I'd highly recommend ( with a glass screen protector ) is the Tech 21 Evo Check. Feels perfect and you still retain that sleek feel. The S+ is very fast and the screen... well the screen is amazing looking, I absolutely am in love with it. The pictures all look great as well, I think it lacks on a few spots BUT overall is beautiful in itself. I love wireless charging lol!. Honestly though I love the phone, I'd definitely recommend it.

[@ashishpatel350]

Rounded rectangles? Guess Samsung Gunna get sued again by apple.

[@mr.grumps3544]

Ashish Patel Gonna be hard to sue them when samsung is providing them the displays for the next iphone lol

[@worlwr2]

and manufacturing for the SoC and RAM

[@makemeresty17]

dude your vid is so awesome! love the reviews! what I really like is you've also mentioned the positive and negative side of this phone i really hope that this is the redemption that the samsung is looking for since note7

[@DragomirTodorov91]

Great review, love the new style of your reviews. Can't wait to try out the S8 :-)

[@irildhoxhallari2786]

really nice review man. i love these long review format, very detailed and informative. Overall one of the best reviews of the s8 on the internet

[@sagard1089]

How is ram management? Or is it the same Samsung style?

[@FoxxFire]

Awesome video, Jon. It really lends credibility to review videos when you state how long you've been using the phone before posting a review at the outset...I'm not a big fan of 'unboxing and review' videos since, well, it doesn't lead to an educated opinion. You have been killing it in your recent videos, and this one is no exception!

[@jon4lakers]

You have no idea how much that means to me man. It's a very conscious decision to not be first but try to be the best.

[@Thisath100]

Christopher Smith i really agree. I'm in love with your work lately because your passion really shows. it's truly amazing Jon. Much love. Kudos to the team as well.

[@meenapaed]

Great Video! Loving the new style! I think this review format is perfect :)

[@ricolio23]

I've been a iPhone user since the 3G. Never had a Android phone. I recently switched over from a iPhone 6 to the new S8 plus. Fingerprint sensor is not a big deal for me and I have small hands. Software has been smooth to learn. I really like this phone and do not see myself going back.

[@jacobetheridge3210]

Great review! Happy you actually took the time to use it like a normal person not just to max out specs. And the new style is great, I am considering getting an S8 after this video! Thanks!

[@KNVT38]

I love the new format and really dig the classic TechnoBuffalo type of honesty, telling us about your own experience with the phone in the real world. Really hope there's more of this coming! Peace!

[@TobyOyewole]

what wireless charger do you use?

[@saviong.4076]

Awesome review guys! liking this new style of video a lot

[@JOHNNYLONNELL58]

Jon, What smart watches are you using in the video. One looks like a Garmin the other LG. Just curious. Thank you

[@ryanmacneille7429]

Great video! I like the new TechnoBuffalo style. Very informative and overall just a great review.

[@TheTechyDan]

This new style is amazing and I hope you make more videos like it. The cinematography is amazing and similar to much bigger channels like The Verge. And the fact that you took it into the real world just helps validate the review as a whole

Wow, great video! I've been so curious about the Galaxy 8 and never got around to learning. But your thumbnail was intruiging and you covered everything I was curious about as well as things I never would have knew...like Bixby. Great job, keep it up! 👏

[@jon4lakers]

+Zavani Shon that's awesome, thank you!

[@interceptorm5]

Excellent review man. I really enjoyed how you took a set out and about, it really introduced new dimension in reviews arena. Great to see you are having a great time with your kids, while doing a review.

[@roccomado]

Amazing review Jon! Loving the feel of the video and the amazing cinematography. Really in depth analysis as well. Keep it up!

[@jon4lakers]

+Rocco Madonna thanks man!

[@aditya_nrao]

I enjoyed this review so much! So different than the mainstream! The effort put in is actually seen! So evident! Worth the wait :") Great job TB!

[@jon4lakers]

+Aditya Rao that means a ton. The crew worked their butts off for a week to get this done.

My wife got the S8 and I got the G6. I as a heavy user. ( I replaced my laptop in 2015 with the Note 4.) I run my Business on my phone now. so when I say heavy I'm talking 6 to 10 hours of screen on time 6 days a week. I can say the S8 is good looking but it isn't half the device the G6 is. the S8 locked up on me 2 or 3 times in a week. it powerd down from over heating, how I don't know. I haven't had a over heartening phone since I left the I phone in 2011. G6 runs like a Swiss watch. I love this phone.

Incredible new style. Miles better than only product shot b-roll. This "real world" style is exactly what is needed in tech reviews. We want to see it being used around everywhere for different things - just like we would actually be using it. Great job, Jon.

[@DeanWillpower]

whats the music in that intro of s8?

[@251IA]

man, the cinematography is incredible. the shots are amazing! paired with the refreshed website, dude, I love the new style! The review is as incredible as always.

[@AwkwardArsic]

Best tech review I've EVER seen! Great job Jon, keep up the great work. Definitely continue this style of video, it was perfect.

[@jon4lakers]

+Awkward Arsic thank you man. There was a lot of struggle and work behind the scenes to make this one work.

[@JamieBarrington]

Great review! I've had my S8+ almost a week & I love it! The fingerprint senser doesn't bother me so much, since their iris scanner works so well & when I'm home, I skip all that & just hit the haptic home key to turn my phone on. Cranking up the sensitivity on the home key in the settings makes it so responsive! I've been an avid Note fan since the Note 2, so this is my first Galaxy S & I have no regrets!

[@jon4lakers]

Thanks for the kind words and I'm glad you dig your new phone!

[@sebastianjacobs9754]

I bought my s8 on launch (maybe not the best idea) and I loved it ever since! I came from an htc one m8 and haven't looked back since! loved the review and I'm a fan from Belgium btw :)

[@mustacheuwukitten]

This was a phenomenal review. Love the style, content, and length of the video. I echo Jon's thoughts about the S8... This is my first time I went Galaxy since the S2... And I could not be happier.

[@jon4lakers]

+Kris Marker thank you Kris!

[@smnyasar]

Love the new style! Keep making your reviews like this...Not overly professional with a personal touch.

[@HillwoodLam]

hey Jon, given the lack of bezels you find you accidentally touch the screen at times?
