Study finds Samsung’s S8 phones more prone to screen cracks

While waiting for Samsung to express himself on this subject, and proposes a solution to the persons concerned, (re) discovers our test of the Galaxy S8 for a whole day. It’s curved, glass body is one to behold. The Galaxy S8 starts at $750, which is about $100 higher than the Galaxy S7. Maybe a case is worth it. That’s according to SquareTrade, a company that sells gadget-repair plans. Samsung reportedly developed deep red OLED displays for Galaxy S8 devices in order to avoid the issue of too much green due to the uneven distribution of subpixels in a pentile matrix.

The phone has some notable new and improved features, including the company’s biggest display screen yet. That’s especially bad (and potentially dangerous) because of the software buttons.

Samsung Electronics Co. said it would roll out two software updates for its new Galaxy S8 smartphone this week after users complained of red-tinted screens and patchy Wi-Fi connections. Keeping an end to all the speculations, Samsung went ahead and officially announced that they would release the discontinued Note 7 in select markets.

The company widely touted the Galaxy S8 display – a large curved screen that flows onto the phones sides – and analysts said it was a huge selling point for the new device.

In the dunk test where devices are submerged in five feet of water for 30 minutes, the Galaxy S8+ exhibited muffled and distorted audio but otherwise seemed alright. After the Galaxy Note 7 disaster, Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ performance signaled the make it or break it deal for Samsung.

The recall debacle cost Samsung billions of dollars in lost profits and hammered its global credibility, forcing it to apologise to consumers and postpone the S8 launch.
