Does it matter? Last time I cared for this was when I was buying note 3 because exynos didn’t have LTE.

Doesn't matter really. No root since the bootloader is locked but other than that, both processors are direct competitors so you shouldn't really feel a difference in performance. What's the model number? N950U?

 

[murtaza12]

Selling the S8+ cases since I don't have the phone anymore.

Spigen cases for Galaxy S8+

Should I get s8 with or without warranty, and do all with warranty ones include accidental coverage ? Also, does accidental coverage include original screen replacement by Samsung shops here ? Difference between with/without warranty seems to be 15000 these days.

All official warranty models include accidental coverage and some free data offer with Jazz 4G.

Accidental coverage basically covers you for 'accidents'. If you break your phone by accident, you have to go to the Service Center, fill out a claim, describe as best you can how the accident happened, and give them a few days to get back to you, if your claim is approved, they will replace your screen with an OEM part and return the phone to you. However, many people have said this entire process takes very long and sometimes they can refuse your claim, in which case you'll be required to PAY the full amount for a screen replacement, which for an S8 is very costly.

Entirely up to you, I bought the model with no local warranty, used it for 4 months, sold it at a great price and had no issues with the phone.

Hey Murtaza seeing as you have used the S8+ and are now using the Note 8. I wanted to know how are the battery timings on both of them? Will they last a full day on heavy use etc? I'm leaning towards a Note 8 but if it doesn't even last a day I might consider S8+.
I've been using Xperia Z2 for the past 4 years and the battery timings were great on this. I used to get 2 days of use on a single charge. But not it has dropped down to a single day which is not that bad.

It wont last a day on heavy use(Gaming or graphic intense) with middle to full brightness

Altough with moderate use it can easily last a day with full brightness as well

S8+
I liked it more than note 8 due to its design

Best screen protector for s8 available locally ? I've read a lot of them are crap for curved edge displays.

S8+ had an advantage because of its 3500 mAh battery so it easily gave me around 7-8h SOT and got me through the day with moderate to heavy usage while set to full resolution (1440p).

Note 8 although has a slightly smaller battery (3300 mAh), is running on Android 7.1.1 instead of 7.0 and has slightly better optimization, so I'm getting the same and sometimes slightly better battery than my S8+.

I'd suggest the S8+ since it has a larger battery and once it gets the Android 8.0 update by the end of this year, it'll be on par with the Note 8 in terms of software, so the battery life should be just as good if not better.

Anyone having issues with Google Assistant after Bixby came?
Google Assistant doesn't work on my phone anymore.

PS: My bad, got Google Assistant back [emoji14]

Another thing. Should I get S8+/Note 8 or wait for pixel 2? Would that be worth it?

I can't say yet.
Wait for the launch event today and then we'll see how that goes up against the Note 8/S8+.
