Screen Surface Area Comparisons - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Alas the S8 and S8+ have messed up our understanding of phone sizes....
Apparently 6.2 inches may not mean as screen real estate as one might have thought given the aspect ratios.
Is it possible to work out the screen surface area of various phones so that true comparisons can be made?

See if this helps or further confuses the issue.

Any comments on the notification LED?

There is an LED at the bottom of the phone, but there is a dearth of photos showing how bright it is or whether it can emit various colors. Any other comments out there?
Wow if there was led notifications it would be the perfect phone.

I'm really interested about this feature ! If anyone have an information tell us!
Pretty sure it's a similar RBG LED as the Galaxy Nexus, you can see it's at the bottom of the phone below the screen. At the vert least we know it's there as the manual says it is!

Take it for what it's worth.
I think the GNex set the standard on this one, the ED will be a part of the bottom bezel.

2nd paragraph neat the bottom they state its RGB but I will look more.

Bummer. I wish more people would center the FFC. Or at least angle the camera so you don't have to offset the phone while video chatting or taking pictures. The FFC on the Nexus 4 is all the way on the right.

Curious for the specs of this smartphone...!!!
do a search for the Celluon magic cube keyboard. that technology is already out and for sale. I'm not saying the phone is real, I'm just saying that the keyboard is possible and would be pretty friggin sweet.

But unnecessary To buy it.
S3 is still great.

I do not think I am going to upgrade from 3 to 4... Phones seem to be more powerful than we need nowadays!

Is the greenish-yellow display tint still there? share your thoughts

Let me start this with a picture of what's been plaguing all samsung AMOLED displays to date:

The S5's display has been lauded by many websites as a solid improvement over previous AMOLEDs.
Yet some mention a green tint, including an extensive AnandTech review.
Please share your thoughts on this if you received your device.
Yes it's still there. But not as bad as previous models.. All my note 3 Was really bad, but the s5 i Think is better and not so greenish looking tint

Fingerprint to sign in to apps

My previous phone was the Galaxy S6 and it allowed me to use my fingerprint to sign in to apps.
My nexus 6p doesn't. Is there a setting I need to enable to get this feature?
Here's a picture from my wife's gs6

Here's a screenshot from my nexus 6p
Notice how her galaxy s6 has three option to sign in using her fingerprint but mine doesn't?
How do I get the nexus 6p to allow this?
Both phones are running game through most recent version of the bank of America app.

Apps will have to be update to allow for nexus fingerprint. Samsung uses own proprietary app that BOA app was updated to work with. They will come eventually as more phones go to this method.
It says it right in the app description:
"Note: Fingerprint sign-in is currently only supported for select Samsung devices. We’ll be adding support for more devices in future releases."
Yea it sucks. Very slow adoption rate

Mostly because most still think it's a gimmick like 3d screens. Once it has been common place for a year or so you will see more adaption...if it lasts that long.

Question - Virtual Tour Camera Mode Gone?

Hi,
On my Galaxy S6 I have a camera mode which was also present onthe S5 too called "Virtual Tour" (don't get confused with Virtual Shot).
Now on the modes to download there's not there, but still for the S6.
Does someone knows how can I get it back?
Thanks!

Surround shot stays in just one place with a 360° view while virtual tour not only does that, also moves arround several sorround shots. It was really useful for me.
Here's an example of that mode: https://youtu.be/JxphLIrF_hE
