**** The Official Samsung Galaxy S8/S8+ Thread ****

[Dinerty]

Such a shame to hear about people having these red tint issues. If you buy from a shop I suggest trying the phone in the shop, or getting them to check the phone before selling it you.

I purchased mine from very, I'm just one of the lucky ones with no problems I guess.

 

[IvanDobskey]

Certainly no sign of any red tint on mine.

Not that I can see anyway...

Try This

You bought that exact one from "total digital stores" on Amazon?

I just purchased, arriving Monday... But spotted some people on the reviews saying they're loose on the corners and they weren't convinced they were genuine Samsung products?

The front glass on this has a hydrophobic coating I've not seen on a phone before. It's the same kind of beading I see from car wax. Water literally bounces off. The S7 had a small film of it, but this repels water even more. The back panel appears to have no such coating.

Pretty neat.

I bought front he same link but it was fonem8store. Seemed fine but I prefer the grippier texture of the spigen ultra thin case

The screen is actually usable in drizzle too unlike any other capacitive touchscreen I've ever used

Yes, I noticed this too after I tried to polish out a scratch on the screen. Some of the coating has come off where I polished.

So don't polish your screen!

Sorry to hear you are having issues with yours

This is the reason why I put up with a tiny scuff on the metal trim on mine. I was worried I'd get one with a ropey red tint on the screen.

If I couldn't have an s8, then the LG G6 would be next on my list I think.

I was willing to put up with the red tint on the right side but the dodgy charging now and the fact samsung won't replace it means its ready for return.
Will pop into a local phone shop to see if they have any stock - It really is a nice phone once you can get a fully working one!

LG - *shudders*

Thanks! Changed my order to spigen thin fit in black. Cheaper too and others are also concerned on how slippery the Samsung one is

Mine arrived today, purchased from the same seller and its genuine.

I have to say I have never owned an LG phone but I do like the look of the G6.

Great stuff What do you think of it? Slippery or not?

It's ok, it's just as slippery as before and gets greasy just as quick. Fit is good but there is a bit of creaking from the corners.

Anyone ordered their case directly from noreve?. Ordered mine like 3 weeks ago and still not arrived. They say there experiencing high demand and there behind on creating them.

Nooooooo

All amoled screens have discoloration if you're looking at an angle, either it's just that people are complaining about or they have blue light filter on which is what will make screen look like exactly as per the screenshot.

I could me wrong but I think a lot are just making excuses up or are simply extremely unlucky. I've seen around 15 S8s in shops and from friends, had 2 myself and haven't seen any problems.

Really strange..

I did. On April 19th.

Spoke to them today and they said:

The case you ordered is custom made within 15 working days minimum.

Saw something on their site about a refund if products aren't delivered within 30 days...but I imagine that goes out of the window when it's custom made maybe? But then again - aren't all of their cases custom made?

Been waiting a week for my fitbag pouch from the rainforest

They look alright

What colour did you go for?

 

[PhoenixUK]

Try dialling the below for any red tint and see if helps, just found this now:

The dbrand leather skin arrived yesterday, was hoping the dragon one would come today, but it didn't, so got impatient and installed the former.

Nice! Looks very premium

I assume it's as smooth around the edges as it appears in pics? No "lip" / lifting feeling at the edges?

Does it make it any grippier?
