I don't even know what I'm supposed to look for.... enlighten this dutchman perhaps?

Take this above sceenshot for example, with the new update the navigation bar at the bottom has a little dot on the left you can toggle so the bar is always hidden and you have to swipe up to show it, giving you that extra piece of screen real estate.

How's the battery on the S8? Is it lasting the whole day? On the S8+ it is lasting me 1 and half days

Got my S8 last month and have to say Im loving it, I had an S4, massive improvement LOL. Also opted for the Samsung wireless charging kit and custom back plate cover on the vodacom smart S package for an extra 20 bucks a month. I did a test, the wireless charger actually improves the S7's battery life btw:wtf:. I have managed to get two whole days without charging my S8. So big ups to Samsung for designing a epic new smart phone:)

Why do so many people complain about the fingerprint scanner that's too far to reach?

Do they have midget fingers?

Lmfao its just the right distance in my opinion. I think some people just don't know how to hold a phone with a sensitive edge screen :crylaugh:

Any apps that I should get thats great for the S8+?

Firstly ,
Your previous device was a Note 5 correct ?
If so ?, you use to Spen and the Scrapbook app .
I bought a "capacitive pen stylus" about R80 ( Makro )
and installed latest Scrapbook app from APKMirror website.
I imported all my synced Scrapbook notes from Samsung Cloud .
Really helps ,bridge that small gap between Note and S range !!

I also installed Shortcutter app from Playstore .
It really a good quality app and give you so much more options ,
in your Quicksettings tiles ( custom app tiles etc )
Also a option how to further tweak , immersive mode .(eg Off ,Full ,No Statusbar ,No Navbar )

People will always complain when things are new and unknown... "oh, but my last phone's sensor was so perfectly placed!!! this is so stupid"

my opinion: if you cannot change your habits as technology changes, you will not be able to benefit from it and be stuck in the past

Is it just me, or can one only select a colour status bar this is 'white' of colour? And when in other apps, especially ones with a dark theme, it looks schit?

The current theme I'm using is dark, but the statusbar still turns up white.. like in tapatalk for example

Yes, but not sure how this part has changed from the previous version. What does those screen look like on your phone?

Settings, display, navigation bar
