          Anonymous, 12 Jun 2019This must be because one of the apps you use. Greenify for example might do this.Thank you for answer, I do not have that app. How can I know what app is doing that? What kind of app?

                    Everything is perfect, just PLEASE enable 4k@30fps and 1080p@60fps in next update, SoC is capable of 4k@30 and 1080p at whooping 120fps, but it is software locked.
                    For those of you complaing about no AOD, download this and you will have even better than stock samsung :)) App is called Always on AMOLED https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.newgen.alwayson

                      Had this phone for a month now. Thoughts:

                      -Feels solid and quite easy to handle

                      -Phone is fast, but should be even faster given the high end hardware specs of octacore and four gigabytes of ram

                      -Ultrawide camera is very fun to have and gives rise to a new type of phone photography. Main camera is unfortunately a bit worse in low light than my old Nokia 5, which sold for just half the price (and had a short life due to drowning, hence the upgrade to this machine) There is just no detail in the low light areas if the camera bumps up ISO to 800+. Up to 400 is okay.

                      -Sound quality in calls is clear but a bit tinny, no punch or bass in voices.

                      -GPS locks very easily even indoors or on a plane but the data out of it is rather noisy; can easily slide 30-40 meters off track or lag in turns if the phone is carried in a pocket. My older phones actually produced better data in a weak gps lock situation.

                      Overall an okay buy but not a hardcore fan. 7/10 stars. Software might however improve the phone in the future, it's brand new. I have never been dissatisfied with Samsung in the long run before, so hopes are set high.

                                Hey folks!

                                I have two questions:

                                - How do you feel the resistance of the power button? Strong, medium or weak?

                                - When I take a standard photo (live focus disable and everything in auto) the center of the photo looks good, but I see a fuzzy areas in the photos, most of them in the left side (like in the review). Does it happens to you? Could it be a camera software issue?

                                I have the last version of the security patch, that includes a camera update of slow motion

                                Many thanks!
