As much as we believe that Samsung did a great job with the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+, a lot of complaints are being reported. They’re not only concentrated on the reddish tint on the display panel. There are other problems like constant rebooting and wireless charging woes. Samsung is quick to release a software update to adjust the color temperature without admitting that there is indeed a problem.
One problem raised by a Galaxy S8 owner is a burn-in on the phone’s screen. It appeared after one week of receiving the phone. We already noted about this issue and it’s something that can be easily fixed. If you may notice, the Always-On contents and home button jump around to avoid such. The burn-in effect is common in AMOLED screens but it is interesting that a Samsung regional office denied the problem and said the company has used a burn-in proof technology for the new flagship phones.
We can’t prove that a burn-in is impossible in the Galaxy S8’s screen but we’d like to take the word of Samsung for it. You see, the jumping-around of elements on the screen appears to be a solution to a problem that is again “non-existent”.
Another problem faced by Samsung is that Bixby is not ready at launch. Even before Bixby is made available, some people already noted that the button can be re-mapped and again, Samsung immediately removed the possibility.
Bixby voice service is now ready in South Korea and we’re expecting it to be available in the United States next. We’re interested to try the thousands of tasks Bixby can do and find out what apps and services are integrated. We guess we’ll have to wait a few more weeks before we get to ask Bixby to do stuff for us.
We’re still crossing our fingers the problems being reported are just minor and nothing that a software update can’t fix. Bugs and small problems are normal in new phones but we’re hoping Samsung lives up to the early reviews and impressions that the Galaxy S8 and S8+ are two of the best smartphones today. We’re still hopeful that the 8-Point Battery Safety Check and improved protocols are enough to keep the phones worthy of their expensive prices.

We know why this happens. It´s because SAMSUNG wants to be fast in pulling new devices out, faster than the competition. What People really gets in the end, we all have seen, see now and also will see in the future. Because users / buyers are the same, they want the newest gear, despite if it´s failure free or not, it´s all just to Show off how “smar and in” are all those guys….
I’v owned 4 Samsung phone now all with AMOLED, or some other form of it, screens and never had any issues with burn in. I honestly do not know how a user could get screen burn without try to cause it. Maybe if the phone froze while charging with the screen on at highest brightness for like 6 hours you could get screen burn, but otherwise I have a hard time understanding how it could happen.
As for the red tint, I had it on my S7e and it went away in a few days, at the time people on XDA thought it was due to the screen’s “glue compound” not being fully cured yet. It bothered me for 3 days then the screen went perfectly white without any need to adjust it with software. I do not have the issue on my S8+, but I think for the most part this will go away on its own for users that do have it.
The constant rebooting seems like an issue though. I have not found anyone online who has actually captured this happening though. I did have one reboot on my device yesterday though, but it was caused by an update to Google Play that crashed, so I blame both Google and Samsung for that.
As for wireless charging, the “Fast Wireless Charging” will never be as fast as plugging in the USB-C cord, I’m a bit surprised so many people thought it would. Guess they are all new to wireless charging.
SWINESUNG has always been low quality company that pushes out product base on rumors of its competition and rushes garbage software and screens who are low in quality with problems. This i snot new. This is a FACT! SWINESUNG will always be for people who need a low budget phone who pretend its good. PIXEL is miles betters.
Where is my Bixby? Got S8+ over month and i’m disappointed.
Trying to text on a galaxy is very hard you have to press firm to get anywhere. Wish I 2nd never gotten this phone
The galaxy s8 is the hardest I have ever tried to text on. You have to really press on keys. Wish I had just kept my s5
