I still have my Galaxy S1. Looks like an antique.It's crazy how perception changes. Once upon a time I thought the Nexus 4's screen was "big." I turned the Nexus 4 on to wipe it before I sent it in for a trade with the S8, and was shocked at how tiny the screen felt. It felt positively unusable.
Has anyone tried to use other 5.0~5.2" phones from yesteryears after using the S8 for a while? Gosh those screens feel a lot smaller (yet the bodies chunkier) now.
That is exactly what I meant, lol. The Honor 8 has a 5.2" screen and a wider body than the S8, yet the screen felt constricting. Very clumsy to handle as well.
Yes.quick Q :
Can you use Samsung Themes if you use a different launcher like NOva, or Google Now, etc ?
Yep, it's been available for about a month. However, people do note that there are frame drops especially when viewing 1080p60. Lower resolution (like 720p) seems ok.YouTube now lets you know when HDR is enabled. You can see it from the quality setting.
I suggest going to a Bestbuy or cellular provider brick & mortar to judge for yourself. If you have ever used a big phone, the 8+ is a really slim feeling phone for it's size.I'm planning to get the S8 or the S8 plus. Can any of you help w.r.t the phone size? I currently own a Nexu 6p and the S8 plus footprint is almost similar to the 6P. Will the S8 be a better pick though? since the screen size is 5.8" and considering the nexus 6p has a 5.7" screen size.
Calibrate with your Nexus 6P and see for yourself:I'm planning to get the S8 or the S8 plus. Can any of you help w.r.t the phone size?

I switched from a 6P to the S8+. I find it much easier to deal with the S8+ because it's so much narrower.I'm planning to get the S8 or the S8 plus. Can any of you help w.r.t the phone size?

Thanks. In your experience, does the curved screen bother you while watching videos or while typing in any way since it's tapered at the edges?I switched from a 6P to the S8+. I find it much easier to deal with the S8+ because it's so much narrower.
SwiftKey does let you resize. Tap the three lines on the upper left to resize.Hmm ok. Kinda makes sense. I use a 3rd party app (Swiftkey) as my keyboard, and from what I know, it doesn't have any option to resize the layout.
Also, if you've been using the S8/S8+, are you used to the fingerprint scanner at the back by now?
I was worried about the location of the fingerprint scanner (don't care it's in the back, because that's where the 6P's was). I think it was over sensationalized by the media. I can reach it perfectly fine on my S8+, and it's easy to locate. If you don't like it, use the iris scanner, face unlock, pin code to unlock.Hmm ok. Kinda makes sense.
