shifting no where i need those extra features ... including the infamous Samsung Knox Secure Folder
What're your animation settings set to? 1x or 0.5?

I also hope you're not using any of those performance boosters or battery saving apps.

That's odd. Mines great, no issues and it's been very fluid since day one.

Try changing your animations down to 0.5x or off if you haven't already and see if you like it any better.

What cases do you guys have right now? Recommendations?
I'm using the Spigen Ultra Hybrid at the moment. Pretty good for the price, I also have RhinoShield Crash Guard bumper.

so finally bought S8 plus today in orchid grey colour Alhumdolillah, bought it in warranty and new from samsung center to avoid repacked sets in market, had to pay a little more but worth the peace that i have now.

i got the glass protector installed, invisible defender i think doesnt has the glass protection? [MENTION=42544]murtaza12[/MENTION]
also i asked him for a back cover that that wont peel off the protector, for now got the paper thin case, will replace it with a transparent one that goes with glass protector, he gave me a written warranty that protector wont peel off

thank you every one.
i am using glass protector and it gets full of finger prints, i just cleaned it this morning and with in few hours it is full of all those smudges again
it hasnt peeled off but it has became loose from the top and bottom and dust is gathering in there now, also while pressing the edges i get the feel (and sound too) of first having to press down the protector and then touch the screen. i am using this glass one only to protect the screen in case if it ever fell only protector will break.

also any suggestions for must have apps and games for this device?

bros forgive me for a little irrelevant post. I skipped S8 for Note 8. Is it wise to pre-order Note 8 or i should wait for few months?

It's not irrelevant.

Don't make the same mistake I did. Preorder prices are ridiculously high, then the prices immediately after launch are even more ridiculous, but a few months after, you can get them for a good rate so I'd suggest waiting.

Whats the pre-order price of note 8?


Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
It's between USD 930 and 970 from Samsung Direct and US carriers, no pre orders available for any other countries yet.

Expect it to be at least 100k for Samsung Pakistan.

    I have a PS5 but I am not satisfied with the experience. I am currently saving for a 4080 64 GB rig soon. Bit will wait for Pro if performance improves. This gen has been so bad I don't plan on buying consoles anymore for AAA gaming.

    As per WCCF Tech review, Xbox Series X doesn't even maintain a consistent FPS and sometimes drops into the mid-20fps range. That's unacceptable, tbh.

    Score 1 for game pass. I wouldn't pay full price for this at retail either.

    Just downloaded my first legit digital PC game on GoG at a discount of $8: Two Point Hospital. The same team behind Theme Hospital Two Point Studios now part of Sega. And I am having more fun than most recent AAA games except of course BG3.

    PC Gamer score of 58/100 for Hellblade 2??? Is it really worse than Gollum that was 64/100? Microsoft games can't even come close to high scores of Sony exclusives apparently.

    About the Microsoft (and Sony) debate, I feel both have become too greedy and losing their minds over corporate greed. Personally, I will never buy any console next gen and switch to PC gaming where democracy reins.
