I expected in my experience in best buy phones the ethics have been very smooth overall I've done a few speed tests woods and compared devices and I will link to those in the description below if you want to check them out for the software you have Android version 7.0 and I still haven't got my update to Android 7.1.1 as yet personally I don't really mind the skin and it's not as heavy as it used to be it also does provide some useful features like let you customize many buttons and choosing between having them there or only when you swipe up but my main issue with software skins are the updates I understand that they can't come right away but they can take a very long time to come sometimes and I really do hope that something stay on top of the updates we get the Android Oh update soon after it's out for storage you have 64 gigabytes as a base under a micro SD card slot so storage really won't be a problem for you and I do think you'll be using a lot of storage on these devices because of all the images and videos that you'll be taking with them so we have a 12 megapixel camera with an F or 1.7 aperture optical image stabilisation and dual pixel to focus now specs wise they might not seem too different but we do have some improvements in image processing and stabilization images a super sharp vibrant with excellent performance in low-light and video is great with the fastest autofocus you'll find you also have many controls for both video and images which do give you flexibility over your shots the front-facing camera now has 8 megapixels with an F 1.7 aperture and picks great selfies overall now it's not as wide as it was last year but it is definitely more stable when using video looks like something has added some form of stabilization to the front-facing camera without telling anyone about it and this was discovered by the teardown video of BSA 2 by my buddy Zach from jerry-rigged everything now then a ton of super star camera comparisons of the SAS with some of the competitors so definitely do go ahead and check those out on the channel we've still got a single bottom facing speak it's okay but obviously not as good as stereo speakers you do however get some AKG earphones out of the box which do sound pretty good now let's talk about Bigsby something's very own personal assistant which can be launched by the dedicated button below the volume buttons so firstly the voice assistant hasn't fully rolled out yet and it's not here in the UK right now anyway so I can't really tell you much about that but from what I've seen it does perform pretty well letting you take actions within apps there's also the Big C visual assistant where you can point the camera at things such as building the products and it's going to pull up some more information about those it works so King likes beer I mean I was in Dubai I pointed this at the Burj Khalifa and sure enough it did bring me some information about the best Khalifa but generally speaking I haven't found myself using it too much one of the things that I do like is the reminder it gives you to switch on your alarm for instance I'm not sure how to activate this on to make it remind you when you've not switched enough for anything but I have noticed it pop up now and then and that has been definitely useful so guys that is my 3 month later review of the Samsung Galaxy S II NSA 2 plus as mentioned there's lots of things to like about these devices may be a few shortcomings which hopefully will get improved next year but overall I do think these are the best smartphones you can buy right now and I'll be interesting to see how they're compared to the notes aid of the iPhone 8 when they come out what do you guys think of VX II definitely drop me a comment below and let me know your thoughts I hope you enjoyed this video and found equal if we did them please do hit that friend is about community serving us if you have already the be sure to subscribe us with your notifications there's plenty more content coming up on here thanks watching this is SAP on supersets TV I'll see you next time [Music] [Music] what do we do step you onto protectv and this is my three month later review of the Samsung Galaxy s8 and s8 plus so spoiler ruler I really do like these phones and that main reason why I've been using the si plus as my primary daily driver since it came out and there's lots of good reasons for that which we'll be covering in this video and although will mostly be talking about the S eight plus in this video will also be touching on the s8 which has the same features with some minor differences so to start off with I have to say that these have the best smartphone displays on the market right now and they're called infinity screens for a good reason you barely have any bezels which means you get a huge 6.2 inch display on the s8 plus in a relatively compact body comparing this to something like the iPhone 7 plus you can clearly see how much of a bigger display you have with a similar sized shell and with the regular C you get a 5.8 inch display in a much more compact form factor now these aren't the first smartphones with minimal bezels but they are the first smartphones with minimal bezels and curved displays the edges are beautifully curved over on both sides and a symmetrical on the back too which not only make these look great but also more comfortable to hold the new design also brings a new aspect ratio of 18 point 5 by 9 instead of the standard 16 by 9 we see on smartphones and what this means is that you get much more onto your screen vertically which is ideal for when you're scrolling through apps such as Twitter Facebook and Instagram this is especially useful when you're using multi windows so for instance you can have a video playing and be typing within your messaging app at the same time quite comfortably now one of the things that are some people have been talking about is the black bars that you get on the left and right when viewing sixteen by nine videos personally for me this hasn't really been an issue because on a traditional device you'd have a similar viewing experience except those black bars would be bezels also you can always crop to fit but that will cut off some of your video these are also Super AMOLED displays which means you get vibrant colors deep blacks and super sharp details because of the quad HD plus resolution now personally I have my ethic too plus mostly in full HD mode mainly because a normal viewing distance I do think you need that amount of detail having quad-hd plus is ideal for VR and these work great with the Samsung gear VR - another reason to switch to full HD mode is to save on the battery life on the s8 plus for me has been pretty good overall now battery life can vary depending on your usage and if you're mostly on Wi-Fi or 4G but on a general day I get about 4 to 5 hours of on screen time on the s8 plus but on some days when I've been on Wi-Fi at home I've got up to 6 hours plus now with the regular Sh you'll be getting slightly less because of these smaller battery size but generally speaking I think you should be absolutely fine with both of these and you do have fast charging and fast wireless charging whenever you need a quick top-up now let's talk a little bit about the build and design of these and once again I have to say these are the best looking smartphones out there right now the combination of the metal frame with the symmetrical curve great glass five panels on the front and back mean these phones look absolutely gorgeous the plain glass of the back can however attract some fingerprints but there's a simple solution to there and that's with a skin from our channel sponsored e brand now my favorite skin at the moment is the dragon skin and this also gives the device more grip and if you're interested in picking one of these skins up I'll be leaving the link to be brand in the description below and we still have ip68 water and dust resistance so you'll have no problems if you take these for a bit of a bit now one design criticism that I can't go and mention it is the placement of the fingerprint scanner it works well and it's super fast but I really wish they had placed it below the camera in a more reachable position that wouldn't risk you smudging the lens now you do get used to after a bit because of muscle memory but nevertheless it is still inconvenient and the wallets of rumors that something will try to embed it within the disability but they didn't manage to do this in time and it doesn't look like they're going to be able to do it in time for the note 8 either so hopefully we'll have a fingerprint scanner embedded within the display for the s9 now there is an alternative unsecured method to unlock your device and that is with the iris scanner it works well in general but does take longer than the fingerprint scanner plus for someone like me who wears sunglasses and glasses a lot it's not the most ideal unlocking method now for the performance inside these you have either this fat drug an 8 3 5 or the Samsung Exynos 88-90 5 with 4 gigabytes of RAM.
