Sell S8+?

Should I sell My S8+ for the 8GB Ram Version of The Oneplus 5.... Pros and Cons?

geoff5093 · Jun 20, 2017 at 8:30 PM

I'm returning my S8+ that I have via JOD and getting the OP5 8GB model.

Pros.... you might get some of your money back even after buying it. The S8+ dropped in value recently its already down 120 or 150 dollars at my local carriers in my town. If you are thinking about selling it, then sell it. Its only going to go down. Samsung devices dont retain value that well. They sorta drop to the 200 dollar range and stay there forever. You can already get an S7 Edge for 240 dollars..... So..... i hope that alone speaks enough to you. OnePlus devices retain value very nicely. The oneplus one is still 220 dollars in most places. the 2 is like 240 the X is probably 200 somewhere i dont think many people care about that one. and the 3 is still in the mid 300 dollar range. Like 330-350. The 3t is still almost 400 dollars on places like swappa. Keep seeing 385 as the average number.

If you want my opinion rather than just some statements then I would say yes absolutely sell it now. The 835 is very underutilized on the S8+ anyway and most samsung phones are bloated messes. What even is bixby....?

I wouldn't.
I still have the oneplus 3, and I still wouldn't upgrade. The only this you're getting is an upgrade CPU and software support.

I'm in the same boat. With the price hike its no longer clear if this a good buy. Specially since the oneplus 5 comes with no IP rating and a 1080p screen. In Canada the oneplus 5 is going to be 680 dollars delivered. The S8 can be found for 700. The pixel XL which has a better camera and older chip is being sold for 600 here . So I cant really consider the oneplus 5 a no brainier.

I don't like the small screen but with 8GB of Ram I would be able to manage, offers a better camera sensor..... And honestly how many people actually use the water resistant to its full potential

What are you talking about dude? Galaxy S8 is $1035 CAD without tax, and with tax its $1169.55 (HST 13%). Pixel XL is $949.00 (sale price right now; regular $1049.00) CAD without tax, and with tax its $1072.37.

Lol, where did you get S8 to be $700 and Pixel XL $600 CAD? Tell me please. And I am asking outright price

. Please post correct information.

Also, S8 can't be rooted. So much useless bloatware. Especially bixby button.

OP5 is better, op. If you can get the money back you spent on S8 or if its a bit low, then go for it.

Disabled, not deleted. Plus there is that Bixby button and its services. If you do disable it, it cases issues , i've experiened it before I returned S8+. You can't root Canadian S8 and S8+.

No IK No root is a bummer for me

OH MY GOD. ive disabled like 10 on my 3t o, o

Batfink33 · Jun 20, 2017 at 9:10 PM

Why the heck would you want a OP5? A 1080 screen, no OIS and from the reviews so far an avarage camera, no SD card slot, no waterproofing etc. It's a mid range avarage and fairly ugly phone.

I also forgot the S8 has an HDR display. YouTube HDR looks stunning on it.

Less bezel is more, which is why I'd personally stick to the S8. Really hoped OP5 would go in a similar direction.
