i like how tsepz created fake notifications to make it look like he has friends!
haha j/k man.. just kidding
that is useful for a big screen no doubt.
strange how displaymate doesn't review ALL flagship phones. seems to focus on samsung and iphone mostly with some google devices thrown in for good measure..
I'm not surprised it gets great reviews for the display. no doubt it is beautiful. it is OLED after all. my question is how they last over time. I don't know how the newer galaxies behave these days, but the older ones always developed a greenish hue over time. I always noticed it looking at friend's phones but since they looked at their phone every day they didn't notice.
Shhh nobody is supposed to know that
Honestly though, I discovered Notification Edge just the other day, lol, I cannot believe Samsung don't have this brilliant Extension preinstalled.
Reviewers like Displaymate and even DxO don't seem to prioritize Mobiles much it seems, they only focus in the most popular stuff, which is a shame, I guess they don't have all the resources and contacts to get through all the major phone manufacturers.
I find that even YouTube Reviewers like Erica Griffin only review a set few phones, especially when it comes to going in-depth.

oh geez.. erica griffin. i can't believe people actually watch her dribble...
i think i watched one of her reviews a few years ago and was completely turned off by her lack of actual knowledge about the device and her "tests" which were meaningless (at least the ones I saw anyway).
if that edge notification isn't a standard feature, it certainly should be. at least as something you can turn on.
I'm sure displaymate and dxo don't have the resources to review every major flagship out there, but at the same time, they shouldn't ever claim that any one device is 'the best'. such claims can only be made if you've reviewed everything out there and in the mobile world, that means the flagships from at least the top 6 manufacturers, in my opinion.
btw, did samsung do anything to improve the camera this time around? from all i've seen/heard it's the same sensor/lens, etc. maybe software changes?

There were rumours that the S8 and S8+ were using the same Camera Sensors​ as the S7 and S7 Edge, but now it seems they are using a newer Sensors​, we will have to wait to get a teardown from iFixit and Jerry Rig Everything to confirm.
Remember that Samsung do with Sensors (ISOCELL and Sony IMX) the same they do with SoCs (Exynos and Snapdragon)
Last year the ISOCELL was the better of the 2 so I am hoping the majority of Samsungs use ISOCELL once again this year. My S7 Edge has an ISOCELL and the results have been great for me despite me not being much of a photographer.

This is ridiculous. How come the chairman of the most glorious company in the world is on the verge of being persecuted for a corruption case? This is obviously a conspiracy to bring shame in samsung reputation. I'm so sad, I'm so very very sad.

Pleasure!
Samsung really needs to market the awesome Edge Panels the Devs are building in their Galaxy Store, there are some real gems in there.

That poor SOD forgot rule #1 - DONT GET CAUGHT.

Hope he doesn't drop the soap in prison

It's in the Galaxy Apps Store.
Go in there, then go to the 'For Galaxy' tab, and you will see the Edge Panels.

What about in your Edge Panel settings? Are you able to click on Download? That should take you to the Edge Panel part of the Store
