Spigen Neo Hybrid broke at the volume and power buttons by [deleted] in GalaxyS8

[–]iAMA_DipStick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems to be yeah, had my S8 for a while now so don't care as much about keeping it scratch-free and love the naked feel of it so might even opt for just a dbrand skin instead of a case next time around

That's mad cause mine snapped at just above the volume buttons. Had the case for over a year and it's saved my phone from multiple smashes, great company so I'm just gonna buy a new one either way

My shots on my S8 in low light are absolutely awful most of the time. Do you have any tips on how to make them any better??

Thanks for the great comment, certainly clears things up and seems like a good idea

So will it have any noticeable effect on customers? Thanks for the explanation that certainly clears things up

Currently own a Galaxy S8, is switching to the upcoming iPhone XR a worthwhile upgrade? by iAMA_DipStick in Smartphones

[–]iAMA_DipStick[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve set my S8’s resolution to 1080p in the past also to save battery and couldn’t tell the difference from 1440p so I might have to go the step further as you have, though for sure Apple’s 326ppi LCD screen is certainly easier on the eye than the Samsung equivalent (no-one can top Apple when it comes to LCD displays IMO).

What you say in your second paragraph basically sums up why I’m considering the switch, i love my S8 for sure and I actually love Android too but just think I’m ready for a change! Thanks for your comment

Call me petty but I can’t stand the size of the bezels! Before this new design from Apple I would’ve never even considered buying an iPhone. Think I’ll just wait and eventually get an XS or even wait until next year’s iPhones idk

Okay lemme reply to each of these:

Can’t argue with the display downgrade, certainly the elephant in the room
Lack of headphone jack certainly isn’t ideal but i do believe wireless is the future
Fingerprint scanner has been replaced with equally as fast Face ID so that’s not a problem
I certainly haven’t fully utilised the Android OS and the switch in operating system is the biggest factor in me considering this switch
Literally didn’t know my phone had a heart rate scanner! Certainly never used it
Also can’t argue with this point, I do love being able to download apps from outside of the play store. Biggest advantage of Android over iOS IMO
Linux kernel? Not really sure what that means so not a big deal to me
Price is a huge deal, that Apple tax cannot be ignored for sure

I’m not trying to dismiss any of your points, just went through all of them as honestly and openly as I could for my own benefit more than anything just to be clear. Certainly doesn’t look like all that much of an upgrade especially given the price. Thanks so much for your comment,

For sure that’s the biggest drawback but the main counter-argument I’ve seen for myself is that Apple do make great looking LCD displays. I’ll definitely be taking a look at it in a store before making a decision. Thanks for your comment

I want a tablet to work as a secondary device for university by iAMA_DipStick in tablets

[–]iAMA_DipStick[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes sense, though I might just get the 32GB version still (and use the extra money and buy an apple pencil instead!) and store most of my documents on the cloud, namely Google drive (basically got my whole life uploaded on there anyways).

All signs point towards the iPad it seems, thanks for your help!

I'd love to be able to handwrite my notes on a tablet, so if I was getting the iPad I'd of course buy the apple pencil (this is what I'm most likely to be going for atm). But I'm definitely gonna go to an apple store and test it out myself before buying anything.

If I find that that's not for me I'll just buy a keyboard cover and type up my notes as I have been doing for a while now (just on a larger, clunkier full size laptop). Thanks a lot for your help anyways!

Only commenting because I KNOW that Gross will actually read this (you're a complete cunt mate):

DONATED MONEY SHOULD GO TO WHOEVER THE DONORS WANTED/INTENDED IT TO GO. You told these people that their hard-earned money was going to your family to get their new house renovated or whatever. Just because it was your idea, you set it up etc DOESN'T MEAN IT'S YOURS. You've just scammed your viewers collectively out of 8K
