I use a S7 edge SM-G935F Exynos 8890 for trading on the go. I got a new S8+ SM-G955F Exynos 8895 and when I do simultaneous trades on both phones, the S7 edge is faster every time. Is this because the S7 processor is 2.6Ghz and the S8+ is 2.3Ghz. Just thought the new S8+ would execute faster.
If GHz matters, why aren't 2008 computers faster than 2017 computers? 2008 computers often have a higher GHz than 2017 computers.. Yawn...
Geekbench doesn't say the same..

Please remember that the operating system has been improved from update to update, the Galaxy 7 / Edge was not so from the beginning. Let it be at the performance or RAM managment. It has been constantly improved, I think after 1-2 firmware updates, the Galaxy S8 / + will get a similar performance leap.

I don't find the s8+ any different from the s7 edge I think it's true to say it's not really worth the upgrade from the s7 edge to the s8+. Don't get me wrong I like the s8+ just like I did the s7 edge
Side by side with my S8+ and S7E, the S8+ is faster and better at everything I have done. The display is noticeably nicer/brighter with better colors on the S8+. The display size to phone size ratio is obviously far superior on the S8+. Way more display, barely any bigger phone overall.
As far as apps, etc, the S8+ is just faster. I thought I would miss the hardware home button, but have not missed it at all. I rarely lock my phone so having the fingerprint scanner on the back has not been an issue.
Pictures are far superior on the S8+. I realize the most of the hardware is the same or close to the same in both phones, but the S8+ takes noticeable better pics. Especially low light pics, but all pics.
I really can't complain about the S8+. I only used my S7E for a few months once they bricked my Note 7, and the S7E was good. Not as good as my Note 7 was, but not that much of a downgrade. But the S8+ truly does make the S7E seem dated in several ways. These may be areas that most people aren't overly concerned about, and truly the S7E is a fine phone and could last many people several years of quality usage yet. But it is still not as nice as the S8/S8+. That is just how these things work - almost always newer versions will be better. I expect the Note 8 to have several enhancements that make it better than the S8+. As a long time Note phone user, I will be very tempted to sell my S8+ and get the Note 8, but for now I am very happy with what I have. And I kept my S7E as my backup phone so worst case scenario I have a very good phone in case I lose or break my S8+. Win/Win.
The S8Plus is faster than a speeding bullet (Exynos version)!
Your first post! Welcome to XDA!
3dMark also has the S8+ snapdradon version faster than even the S8+ with the exynos chip.
My S7E ran like a Honda missing half it's spark plugs. I am willing to say it's the worst phone I've ever owned and I have owned a loooooot.

On a side note, The DeLorean is back if you are looking to go back to the future.
I am also searching about specification of upcoming Galxy S7 smartphone.. Memory option is available with 32/64/128 GB with Micro SC card support. Primary camera has 12.2 MP with BRITECELL sensors. Overall it is an attractive gadget.
Whats the antutu score s7 edge got?
All we know about the Samsung Galaxy S7
What is the Samsung Galaxy S7? The Galaxy S7 will be Samsung's newest flagship smartphone, and is expected to be revealed alongside the S7 Edge on February 21 at MWC in Barcelona.
What's the difference? The S7 is flat, while the S7 Edge will have a gently curved screen.
How much do we know about it? Very little. Rumours suggest the S7 will sport a 5.1-inch display, while the S7 Edge will be slightly larger at 5.5-inches. Both are expected to sport 32GB/64GB of storage, 4GB of RAM and a 12MP rear-facing camera.
When will it go on sale? Both phones are expected to go on sale across Europe on March 11.
Why should we care? Samsung is the world's largest smartphone vendor, and their high-end Android handsets are among the best on the market.
Hello all! First of all, this phone it's a flagship and cost twicely vs. normal phones. For me it's a unpriority investement.
with touchwiz no more samsung
I am thinking of getting this phone.
I got questions:
1. It is a little smaller then the non edge ones right?
2. I read lots of accidental touching because of the edge that make for some annoying user experience. Your thoughts?

Hi all,
I just saw the announcement of the upcoming OnePlus 3t and I have to admit it's a damn beautiful phone with awesome specs. Actualy I wanted to buy the S7 Edge dual Sim in blue (It reminds me on the Note 7. R.I.P:angel but now I have to admit that the OnePlus 3T, esp. the 128Gb version in soft gold is a competitor that doesn't make it easy for me to make a decision.
I'm comparing the S7 Edge Dual Sim version in blue (available on ebay with higher price than in other colours) and the OnePlus 3T with 128GB.
I compared both and made 2 lists with categories where I think each phone has his strenghts
S7 Edge Winner Points
Camera
Battery 3.600 vs. 3400
Screen to Body Ratio 76,09% vs. 73,15%
Water resistant
OnePlus 3T Winner Points
Performance 6GB Snapdragon 821 vs. 4 GB Exynos 8890
Memory 128GB vs. 32GB (Sd-Card Extension only possible with hack)
Price 479€ vs. 610€
Dash Charge
Things that I have problem with making an assessment are:
Look & Feel: How does each phones lies in you hand. Which one looks and feels more premium for you? What are your opinions?
OS: Which OS do you like more? I'm comparing the upcoming Android N versions of both phones. Oxygen OS looks promising on pictures. The upcoming Grace UI, I have to admit, I love the design. Ive never thought that I would say this to a Samsung phone with Touchwiz. And I have the feeling Samsung has more customizing options and build in tools. What do you think? Especially I'm curios of the opinion of Samsung/ OnePlus Beta Users and/or the user with Note 7 experience.
So what dou you think? I know that we are discussing here in the Samsung part, but hey they are just phones not a women that we are comparing
It's really hard. The water resistant is in my personal opinion the only reason to buy the s 7 edge.
But it's your choice. I would buy the one plus.
But as I say, it's on you, what do you like more, camera or performance, water resistant or metal body? The s7e is sensitive like a newborn.
Do you need storage?
Good battery?

In GPU yes, CPU no
820 wins in Antutu for example simply because of the GPU. 8890 wins in single and multi core performance. 8890 also uses less energy than the 820/821
Okay I made my decision. The Edge wins for me. I'll miss the 128gb internal storage & the 6gb of Ram, damn, but the edge display and Grace UX are looking just to good that I'll go for my first Samsung device. Emotions win over logic [emoji41]

No doubt you'll enjoy this piece of elegant hardware.
alright so I sold my galaxy a5 520W in frustration and was going to pick up the proper 520F or even the Dual sim version..
however my GF just showed me the galaxy S7 active! looks like it has everything but its only a year older.... now that were in 2018 both phones are cheap but a refurbished galaxy s7 active is cheaper and looks to be superior in specs!
ok so which phone should I get between the two? the A5 is alittle newer but is missing some things (LED, not as strong battery, image stabilization) and the s7 active has those things...
also the s7 active WORKS with nextradio! I'd prefer the regular samsung fm radio app but I'll settle for working nextradio
alright so which one would be the better buy? does s7 active work on canada bands? its even cheaper... it looks like a better deal... but the A5 looks like it'll last longer (strange considering the "military grade build)
Straight to the point, I'm looking to purchase one of the phones but I'm not sure which to get. I'm mostly looking into the selfie camera and XDA support so yeah not sure which one

I will go for Xiaomi mi 9. Wide angle camera, Dual SIM, Amoled, My mother toung, Call recorder and great price. Only missing 3.5 aux but I will survive. BB Oneplus....
My list:
Mi9: Most likely better AOSP support, cheaper
S10E: better screen, 3,5 jack, smaller size
I'm also thinking about buying either the Mi9 or S10E. At the moment, I'm slightly leaning towards the Mi9 because of the price and also because I don't really like Samsung's software.
That being said, Samsung has improved radically over the past years and Xiaomi is not exactly delivering mint Android either.
As for the size: Would love to buy the Mi9 SE but it looks like it's not going to be available in Europe and that it will also lack the necessary 4G bands to make it work properly.

Would definitely go for the Mi9. Depending on region Samsung has decided to use their Exynos variant in comparison to Snapdragon 855.
We all know the Exynos is faster than the Snapdragon 855 but with regards to power efficiency, we are still unsure. Last years Galaxy S9 Exynos variant suffered from severe battery issues which ultimately resulted in me returning my S9 within the cooling off period.
The Mi 9 is very attractive with its Snapdragon 855 and scores well on gsmarena battery test even beating the p20 pro (4000mah) which I currently own and would not sell apart from sh** selfie camera being worst ever. Ultimately Samsungs decision to only ship Exynos variant phones within the UK is a shocking one.
We should be given the choice
Mi9 I've just received mine.
I was going to get the S10+ but when I seen this and the price tag my mind was made.
Screen is great,cameras front and back are brilliant, it's so fast and smooth it's unreal. Fingerprint scanner is very good it's so quick and accurate nothing like OnePlus 6t that was dreadful for me.
Only think this device doesn't have for me is dual speakers, IP rating, SD slot.
Buy Mi9 Only if you dont mind the lack of OIS....camera at night is a joke.i sell mine for that after just 24 hours!!!

Agreed, camera so far one of the aspects I'm slightly less pleased with, especially coming from the Pixel 2 xl. However, a Mi 8 gcam port works already and so does night sight, which even though its not meant for this device works pretty well. So I'm definitely gonna be patient and follow its development as great things await us I believe! Would be great if we can use the telephoto and wide angle cameras with the gcam port!
I have installed gcam in mi9 with night mode... quality better BUT NOT with low light.you need a tripod ..theres not optical image stabilization (hardware)

I'm not so sure about "Exynos" is faster than 855, of course maybe Samsung phones with Exynos feel faster than Snapdragon?

This years exynos has also failed in terms of battery life.
The snapdragon 855 is way more efficient than the exynos

Exynos is only better in singlecore (multicore is faster in 855) but exynos does that at the expense of a lot of heat and battery. Also the GPU in 855 is like 2 generations better than exynos.
yes, my s9+ exynos still does beat the mi9 in single core. but the s9+ gets beaten in gpu tests even by my older mix 2 NON S (snapdragon 835!!.. not 845!!) 855 gpu is a beast. Exynos s10 gpu is just slighty better than s9 exynos because they did improve the power per core.. but removed like 40% of the cores... (g72mp18 vs g76mp12)
and that single core perf. is irrelevant.. My mix2 with a good rom is AT LEAST as fast as the s9+ in app opening, web surfing etc.. believe I tested.
Hi there,
my S7 which is my one and only phone has currently reached the end due to repeated drops the hardware seems pretty damaged and not worth repairing anymore. It will still work for a couple of months but I need to replace it within the next 3 months I'd say.
Requirements:
- superb camera (at least as good as the one of the S7,8,9 or 10)
- Camera2 API
- rootable (I need magisk and xposed)
- ideally having a supported Custom OS available - any minimal one will do
- the size should not be much bigger than an S7 - I really don't like to handle those huge phones.
- must be available in Europe
I'm a very casual user, I don't play any games requiring great graphics power, I use gmail, whatsapp, facebook daily and listen to music.
The S7 / 8 / 9 / 10e are pretty close to each other price-wise here in Europe but I thin S10e is too new to have reliable Custom Roms and rooting solutions.
Can you recommend a phone to repalce it with keeping in mind the requirements I have for a phone?
Hello,
After the display of my S7 is broken I just bought my second S7: 1 year old and without any issues - looking like new - for 150€. There's no smartphone on the market better than the S7.

my display is perfect but I have replaced the back of the phone twice already, and I guess it dropped so oftern it now has random reboots (definitely hardware related) so its time to replace it.
pricewise, an S7 slightly used can also be bought for about 150€ an S8 used for about 200€, S9 is used about 350€ and S10e is about 500€ new.
So I might well go for an S8 as its only slightly more expensive than an S7 and custom ROMs seem to be available for S8
Just be careful with the S8's if custom ROM's is on your list. I didn't follow it closely but I recall reading several times that the S8 can't be bootloader unlocked right away due to a timer, and some people have never had it become unlockable, even after trying all the tricks.
Note9
variant with Exynos processor (international version)
or
variant with Snapdragon processor and dual sim (9600 US version)
the others have locked bootloaders, and devs haven't figured out how to root.
only downside is curved screen edges, but Samsung isn't smart enough to figure out that is not ideal for the Note format.

Thanks but Note 9 is about 650€ - way higher than say an Samsung S10e.
I'm busy researching obviously and will post my findigns here as well once I'm done.

I'm seeing Note9 on Amazon for $595USD. That's about 542€
I bought my Note9 many months before the Note10 release, and I see the Note10 release has NOT really caused much more of a drop to the Note9 price. Obviously these are all very expensive phoes, but the 10 has some design elements that many are not happy with.
I brought mine new on ebay for about $100 less than amazon.
