Sooner of later Samsung will also join the removal of 3.5mm headphone jack.
Be ready and expect it.

Dropping any fone in tub or water, totally depends on how deep or totally submerged in water! Old days of 3310 it use to fall in bucket, immediately taken out and dry in sun for a day, would do the trick. Nor scuba diving and receiving calls and dialling! Forget these two Gimmicks of Locking and waterproofing. Simple pattern or pin is as secure than iris or fingerprint, Try opening pin or pattern locked simple fone. We are nincompoops, and easily pay thousands jet for show off. Still simple Nokia 6 is as secure and updated as OREO 8.

The iris scanner works great except I have to open my eyes unnaturally wide for it to work. I have got quite squinty eyes though.

I dried it off with a towel and carried on using it. After a few.hours it was still showing the 'water ingress warning. Whilst I was researching what to do, the warning dissapeared and I could charge it.
It took 24 hrs before the fast charge worked though..

Your instinct will prompt you... moreI'm accidently dropped my phone in water and I immediately pick it up and after 5 minutes it dead. I'm not let it drowning. I know a phone is not to use for drowning in water. See, you won't stop talking about your 'non-removable battery' problems.

The fingerprint scanner is already on its way out and is kind of irrelevant on a device that offers a much faster and more secure method to unlock the phone.

[deleted post]3300 may battery is enough as it quicker charging and took much longer to near empty 4000mah take longer to recharge so it doesn't matter which size of battery..

I am using this phone for two weeks now. Just applied a screen protector on the back. Still can't get used to the akward position of the fingerprint scanner though.
Also, for those wondering and/or confused, the iris scanner works in pitch black darkness. It uses infrared. It also works even when you have eyeglasses on.
Anonymous, 26 Oct 2017Note 8 Amoled screen is prone to screen burn in. If you're planning to keep the phone for yea... moreEvery oled screen potentially burns in but samsung's super amoled no longer has that issue. Although admittedly, with all the number of screens samsung produces, there's bound to be a few instances. But too few to be insignificant. Inferior manufacturers like lg, however, well, the pixel 2 xl should serve as a decent example.

Your instinct will prompt you to pick it up immediately when accidentally drops in water.
Of course it will not take even 5 minutes to rescue your drowning phone. LOL!

[deleted post]Sorry but that problem was attributed years back. Android ecosystem has positively evolved so does Samsung too. Wrong choice going for an iPhone and again, it ain't ma business. Your wallet your purchase.
