April 24th 2017 was the day I decide to come back to Samsung and their wonderful Android phones.
I had a Samsung S5 for 2 years before moving on to test the murky waters known as Apple.
But after that experience I decided to come back to familiarity and try Samsungs flagship phone the Samsung S8. I was very excited and loved everything about it.
Flash forward one year.
I still find myself very happy with the phone. The camera is amazing, the battery life is sufficient and the customization options are endless! When I bought the phone I purchased the warranty that allows me to upgrade to a new phone each year without having to pay off the rest of phone.. Having that option is nice but I must say I WILL NOT BE UPGRADING TO THE S9.
Here’s why.
First, the S9 offers newer hardware and the better cameras. Now better cameras is nice but trust me when I say the S8 camera is awesome in its own right. My favorite feature with the camera has to be the Selective Focus feature. It will blow your socks off! Take a regular picture then try a selective focus picture and you may just think a professional photographer took the picture! It is that exciting to see the results. Now this feature only works on close up pictures as the feature focuses on the main object within 20 inches from the screen and then blurs out the rest. You may think 20 inches that’s so close that’s really only useful for selfie pictures isn’t it? I would say you are correct! Which is why this feature is on both the front AND the rear camera. So whether your taking a picture of a friend or just a selfie picture for social media your picture will come out ready for people to hit the “like” button!
