So the 835 is 95% the same as 835 in terms of performance and should be more "efficient"...But the battery life is similar to last generation...This sounds like missusage of hardware...A battery which lasted 50% more would have been better than a curved screen with weird too tall screen (which is hard to handle, I used it for a day).

The reason why the aspect ratio sucks is black bars.

OEMs can give same battery life while spending less money. Then they charge more for same bsttery size.

Also bad reviews tend to stop companies from sending you samples, so they have to be mostly positive if they want to keep reviewing Samsung products.

Battery test is rigged. They perform it with FULL HD screen instead of original resolution like S7 Edge. Real results are much lower.

If you close one eye you can get a 4:3 screen fill your field of view, if you keep both open then you need something like 1.89:1 screen to fill your view. Which is why the film standard is right around that mark. So neither 16:9 , nor of course Samsung's ultra wide screen are ideal.
Only Xiaomi came close by using 17:9.

Why GSMArena didn't check out the reddish tint of the S8 display? The article about red tint of S8 has appeared hours before this review.

Ram matters much more than SoC in say to day performance.

Actually battery is in the low 80s , high 70s. Don't just read the charts, take in account what is written also.

Barely better than the OnePlus 3t and actually loses out in some categories... Not bad for a phone half the S8's price.

Savor, 18 Apr 2017iPhone 7 sucks, dude. Worst update ever for the iPhone. The SE is better than it. Stop trollin... more4:3 is much better than 16:9 in every way, because the usable field of view of the human eye is 4:3. And nobody felt the need for nearly 100 years to change it.
The reason why manufacturers and the collaborator media sites encouraged the 16:9 is that they wanted people to buy new TVs, new products, they wanted people to spend their money so manufacturers gain profit. It's pure greediness and planned obsolescence.

Even with only 3/4th of the screen used (during the test) it still gets less battery than S7. I would like to see people justifying that. The most economical SoC hardly made any difference. I would like to see people justifying Samsung's decision to put such a small battery. We're looking for a battery life in its 70s when the whole screen is lit, that's quite a step back from last year's Galaxies.

tumama, 18 Apr 2017due I always see you bashing Samsung and also it doesn't matters if its on Fhd Qhd the battery... moreAm I not spot on with my deleted comment in any way?
Battery tested in fhd with half act pixels, vid with 16:9, meaning more than an inch of that scrn inactive.
Graphic onscreen bench is below expectations.
And just look at photos close.
Consider that before calling me bashing.

I've been using the Nokia N8 for years now and it's better than the S8 in almost every aspect, especially its unmatched triangulation tracking ability.
