I was just wondering how peoples phones are holding up. I am switching from a Note5 titanium to an S8 and have only 2 choises black or grey... My titanium note5 after 2 years looks still amazing, back side looks like 9.5/10 (always in a case)
I ask because i read a review where the person was complaining about the tiny scratches he was finding on the backside of his black model
Im leaning towards black. but like black cars i worry they only look good for a few months then become a pain to keep looking good?
I have the black version and after about 4 months it looks brand new. Admittedly I have been using a case for about 3 months (the OEM alcantara one), so take that for what it is.

I also have the ultra hybrid from spigen. That back transparent plastic goes from 0 to crap in no time flat. Full of fingerprints and grease almost instantly and within a week it's full of scratches. Not to mention it sounds like it's gonna break every time I "drop" it from like 10cm height onto the table.
My advice would be not to get clear hard plastic backed cases. Especially if they are not "raised" a bit by silicone or rubber feet or something.

My black S8 Plus got scratches on the back the ONE day I used it without a case or skin on it. I sat it down on the table at the restaurant (Formica tabletop) and it got scratches somehow. Been in a case or skin ever since.
The midnight black is GORGEOUS, but it shows every flaw and is a fingerprint/grease magnet.
I wish I had gone with the orchid grey like my wife, but at the time black was the only option for the US Unlocked version. She got the T-Mo version. If I had to do it over again, I'd get the grey T-Mobile version, or the coral blue unlocked version.
. That sucks as luck would have it my cases are arriving same day as the phone
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I have a black S8 and the reason for this is because on silver model, I didn't like the way frame looks, it was kind of chrome, but on black it looks slick. Although fingerprints are visible more. I would also purchase blue coral, but putting it in a black case will cover the phone's color My phone is 1 week short of 2 months and still looks good, although I am using a case "Spigen Liquid Armor"

Today I removed my zagg full invinsible shield because it didn't fit ok so I got new one and I decided to perform a thought I had for long time....remove samsung logo!so I did it with pencil rubber and thats the result...what do you think??I love it
Samsung did good job on this one, and deserves the recognition...
That's my opinion.
OMG I'm doing that asap! So you just used a pencil eraser, did it leave and marks/scratches?

I'm definitely doing it...I had this idea of removing the logo for weeks but haven't put it in practice.
turned out a simple way to do that ^_^
i personally would just remove everything altogether. not to discredit the 2 companies for the fine work theyve done, but all black no logos just looks sexy. besides, you've credited the companies already by buying their products.
I covered with sellotape the area around samsung logo then i rubbed it with a rubber with a red part and blue part, mainly with the blue part(harder) and then cleaning it with cotton.I had no scrathches but the part of the plastic with the logo was looking a little blurry at first from some angle, clean again with cotton and rubbing alcohol and it will reduce it.Today with the invinsible shield looks nice and shiny!
I do some modelling and would normally use a sand paper after I stick 2 plastic parts together (400, 800, 1000, 2000, 3000) and will finish it with a polishing compound.
for budget or practicality I use this
just make sure you use number 4 to make it shining.
I have a black soft case on my phone. Looks great and I don't have to rub any logos off. /shrug
nice mod
Thanks , very nice. I will test

My sentiments exactly. I usually hate black devices and tend to opt for white ones. But the white note 3 just looked tacky to me. As does the red. Also, I'm pretty sure the black has a different 'sticky' feel that the lighter colors can't have because they'll stain.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk
I wonder if they have the brushed-metal texture (like the black N3) or the cross-hatch pattern (like the white and pink N3s). Neither is discernible in the photo. To me, that's a bigger aesthetic consideration than the color itself.
Att: " hahaha these new colors will make them forget all about that bootloader"
I bought the white for the cross hatch pattern. I had the same black look for my Note 2. Got tired of it.
I like the black back tho. That's what's on my phone now

Who cares about colors. If you invest 700 USD on a phone you would be stupid not to put it in an ottorbox or similar case. In which case you would never see the colors anyways. All you should care about is the screen quality and function. It could be titty pink but as long as it is in a case nobody but you knows and so you should not care. I know I for one would not take my chance with this phone and just carry it in my pocket. Mine is in an ottorbox defender, it has had the plastic screen protector removed but in it's place is an armour brand matte protector.

Please learn to express your opinions without resorting to name-calling.
What's worse is that you're wrong. Those of us who don't buy expensive cases aren't stupid, we're right.
Many of us drop or bang our phones so seldom that we break them less than once every ten or twenty years. That means that if we buy an expensive case for each new phone, we end up paying MORE in the long run than we pay if we simply replace our unprotected phones on the rare occasions when they break. And that's in addition to the undesirable bulk (and yes, undesirable aesthetics) of a case.
All you should care about is the screen quality and function.

yea same thing happened with me, i bought it at night for 59 bd down payment, and the next morning they announce free without any downpayment
guys dont get too excited about the TPU cover, you can get the awesome awesome Baesus air case TPU for only 7$ on aliexpress
now allow me to explain why do we get the TPU cover included:
its because unlike the primary world we are being screwed with 16GB internal rather than 32GB, this is why the cover is compensation
the cover itself is not that great as it kills the device beauty and also might cause scratches because of all the specs that can get stuck inside, plus affects touch-ability due to the thick edges and the port flip at the bottom is simply a joke
the only good thing about it is that it insures you protection from day one that's it, make sure to clean it well every time you place the phone inside it as it can ruin your grey M8 in time if any sand particle gets stuck inside
best official cover so far for the M8 is the standard flip case from HTC
Also, ours is 2.3GHz...as compared with 2.5 elsewhere...

just a tip for whoever new with this device protect your rear and front cameras and dont use the case you get with the phone as @hamdir said it will cause scratches on the silver surrounding...
oh yes and I'm from Oman but my phone is from Comtel (U.A.E).
Actually,these scratches are by default... The finish is like this... I bought 2 from comtel, both are similar... With mine, the top speaker grill, little bit chirping from camera side...

We had an HTC dealer here in Oman but now we dont. I repaired my HTC one X infamous WiFi signal problem under warranty when we had a dealer here. They told me it's sent to UAE don't know if it was comtel but my phone have been unlocked (relocked) when sent. Now the same thing with HTC one m8. Do Comtel reject rooted phones in any case or only when phone is bricked?

2.5ghz is just bull**** so no worries, stop running behind cpu clocks people its not what makes these phones great (gpu, bandwidth, thermals, nand all more important)
Why else does the battery lasts this long and still run so well with the power saver 1.3ghz cap
Apple didn't even cross 1.5ghz
Stop chasing ghost cpu clocks, they only accelerate throttling
I agree with Hamdir,
Clock speed is irrelevant. I am coming from a Nexus 5 and I don't honestly see a "significant" speed boost, granted the Nexus 5 is highly optimized by google. Still the bottom line is if while operating the phone you don't experience any lags (in the M8's case thats far from it) then speed is irrelevant. I am pretty sure you could possibly even under clock and not notice a huge drop in performance.
Cheers.
Actually power saver mode locks the CPU at 1190mhz. Phone still smooth yes it might lag abit in some apps like Twitter but it's very usable with great battery. The phone is perfect! The only thing that annoys me are the cameras not the quality but the lenses! They get scratched pretty easily and I didnt know that when I was always cleaning the lens using shirts.

I've had my G3 for about a week now and I absolutely love the device. I'd like to have a discussion about build quality of the device since there's some things I've noticed with my 32gb D855 model that I'm wondering if others have had also.
1) The digitizer is quite noticeable, I guess my eyes have adjusted a bit now but it is there and quite noticeable when I pay attention
2) The back plate is screaming poor quality: it is very creaky near the top above the infrared and also around the volume down key you can really press the device and hear it creaking like a Samsung device
3) Unfortunately after caring for it with my life somehow the back cover got a huge scratch..I don't possibly know from what..a fleck of dust in the air or Something but still this shouldn't have gotten such an ugly huge scratch so easily!
4) Dust/sand or dirt is easily getting into the bezels right where the screen ends
5) As mentioned in another thread I've had the spontaneous shut down but let's not delve into that on this thread
Anyone else want to share their experiences?

Just got mine yesterday but #2 is not an issue for me. The back is very solid and doesn't have any flex at all. I am going to put a slim case on mine though and I already have a tempered glass screen shield.
Well, mine seems pretty solid so far (got mine on Monday), the only thing from your list i noticed as well is the dust at the bezel, but it's not really in the bezel, it's just sticking at the edges, because the bezel is slightly higher than the screen, that's a bit annoying, but not really bad, because it can be easily swiped away. Except of that, I'm pretty pleased with the build quality so far, looks and feels premium, just the back doesn't feel that slick, because of the plastic, but it's still not bad at all.
Oh, and the back buttons are slightly too hard to push, but that's also not a big deal.
So, great device, I'm a happy owner^^

Do we have the same device?
1: I can barely see the digitizer unless i shine a bright light into the screen.
2: the back cover on mine fits perfectly, to the millimeter. The only creaking i hear is if i try to twist the device at either end which is acceptable as its a removable cover so should have some give.
3: that is unfortunate
4: Is this not normal of all phones. They all have a small gap between the glass and phone body. its hard to avoid, but not very big on the G3.
5: ive not had this issue fortunately.
Ive found the build quality to be very good. everything fits very nicely. and its a big step up in quality from the nexus 5 which already had a decent build quality.
Had mine for 6 days, comparing this to say an s4 or s5 is like comparing a Citroen 2CV against a Ferrari, the difference is immense in terms of both looks,build quality and feel. Loving it ?
Just got mine an hour ago. I'm coming from an S4. This phone feels cheap in comparison. I'm not sure if I'll get used to not having the true black that one gets with an AMOLED screen. But hey, it's only been an hour.:beer:

It really is a big difference between AMOLED and IPS screens. There completely different technologies, keep in mind though the IPS screen is more closer to every other screen you look at every day so its not like you dont use them already.
Im not liking how the G3 is get bashed around recently, if your not happy with it then i suggest people go back to samsung. Ive had it over a week now and the phone grows on me more every day. Once roms and tweeks come out this phone will be even more amazing

Spray paint or a bumper.
There's nothing you can do to prevent it.
The paint is coming off my phone too. And it's coming off in stupid areas, like around the infrared port and the headphone slot. It doesn't even make sense, I don't even touch that area. But the sides, where there most contact happens, are fine, practicly like new.

For me it's mainly around the screen so it's visible when in use and damn ugly xD. I'm buying a $60 new battery for this phone i got for free so overall $60 I'm not sure an s4 in this condition is worth :/ is it? Oh and yeah my headphone port is completely white.

I didn't do anything. It happens. My phone is black, so removing the chrome might not look as good as on a white phone.
But it doesn't affect me in any way. I care more about it working fine than looking brand new. Of course, if you're going to sell it, it is important to keep it in good shape. But if I get a new phone I will keep this one as a backup most probably. So that's that.
