shifting no where i need those extra features ... including the infamous Samsung Knox Secure Folder
What're your animation settings set to? 1x or 0.5?

I also hope you're not using any of those performance boosters or battery saving apps.

That's odd. Mines great, no issues and it's been very fluid since day one.

Try changing your animations down to 0.5x or off if you haven't already and see if you like it any better.

What cases do you guys have right now? Recommendations?
I'm using the Spigen Ultra Hybrid at the moment. Pretty good for the price, I also have RhinoShield Crash Guard bumper.

so finally bought S8 plus today in orchid grey colour Alhumdolillah, bought it in warranty and new from samsung center to avoid repacked sets in market, had to pay a little more but worth the peace that i have now.

i got the glass protector installed, invisible defender i think doesnt has the glass protection? [MENTION=42544]murtaza12[/MENTION]
also i asked him for a back cover that that wont peel off the protector, for now got the paper thin case, will replace it with a transparent one that goes with glass protector, he gave me a written warranty that protector wont peel off


working great. i have Invisible Defender and for cover i am using Spiegen Tough Armour. have dropped mobile couple of times but all good.

thank you every one.
i am using glass protector and it gets full of finger prints, i just cleaned it this morning and with in few hours it is full of all those smudges again
it hasnt peeled off but it has became loose from the top and bottom and dust is gathering in there now, also while pressing the edges i get the feel (and sound too) of first having to press down the protector and then touch the screen. i am using this glass one only to protect the screen in case if it ever fell only protector will break.

also any suggestions for must have apps and games for this device?

bros forgive me for a little irrelevant post. I skipped S8 for Note 8. Is it wise to pre-order Note 8 or i should wait for few months?

It's not irrelevant.

Don't make the same mistake I did. Preorder prices are ridiculously high, then the prices immediately after launch are even more ridiculous, but a few months after, you can get them for a good rate so I'd suggest waiting.

Whats the pre-order price of note 8?


Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
It's between USD 930 and 970 from Samsung Direct and US carriers, no pre orders available for any other countries yet.

Expect it to be at least 100k for Samsung Pakistan.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
