The Pro smartwatch is amazing. Its measurements are impeccable. The screen is stunning, although I would prefer it to be brighter in sunlight. However, this means that we have to use automatic brightness, which also leads to battery drain. It works perfectly with Samsung mobiles for notifications and smart features. The negative aspect, as with all devices nowadays, especially smartwatches, is that I expected a better battery life since we are talking about 590 mAh. Let me explain: my day starts at 6:30 am and ends at 2 am, with everything open, including calls and always-on display, and moderate measurements, not constantly measuring heart rate or stress. From 6:30 am to 2 am, I have reached 18% from 100%. I expected a better battery life of at least 48 hours of autonomy... If you close everything, it has 3 days, not 5 as advertised. Now, let's talk about the infamous D buckle, the strap that costs 70 euros alone. Firstly, it ruins the aesthetics of the watch, which shows completely different with a metal bracelet (if you can find one that fits). Secondly, if you have a bag in your hands and touch the magnetic clasp a little, the watch opens and falls off your wrist. The same thing happens if you hit the magnetic clasp somewhere.

Although I was influenced by the reviews here, having not written anything for a month now, I have to say the following. The screen resolution is perfect, but I didn't find a huge difference from a Note 9 in terms of the eye. They had almost the same resolution. For calls, don't put a case on and you'll have perfect quality. Personally, once I put a case on my phone and cursed Vodafone for nothing, as soon as I took it off, the signal was perfect. Photos and videos are incredibly perfect. You have a DSLR in your pocket. Battery life is one day with everything open, but guys, you have to know what's going on behind the scenes in apps and let it learn the uses that no one does in apps to improve the battery on its own. Also, all mobiles can no longer cope due to weak 4G signal. I won't even talk about 5G because in most places it doesn't even exist. So if you leave it on automatic to search for 5G, guess what, your battery will drain if you're also doing heavy use with cameras, social media, etc. You won't make it until 5 pm (so 4G and holy God). The speakers are perfect, although I heard somewhere here that they don't sound on calls. This can happen if you accidentally confuse where you put the card (it requires attention) and instead of putting the needle in the card slot, you pierce the speaker right next to it (a huge stupidity of Samsung). The processor is a beast and now that I'm writing this, the phone is running hard from 5 am with everything open and my battery is 85%. If you want the strongest Samsung beast, take it fearlessly, but search for it. I got the 256 GB 12 GB RAM (don't get the 8 GB) for €1020 from Greece, the burgundy one, and it came in a day and a half... as I said, search for it. I wouldn't give €1300-€1400.

The s8 ultra is a beast. The difference in Snapdragon is incredible screen resolution. It's super fast and doesn't lag no matter how many tasks you have running simultaneously. The battery lasts for two days even with everything open and running at full capacity, but with heavy usage. I use it for video editing, social media streaming, and video calls. The rear camera is really good, but the two front cameras, especially the 4k, are a pleasant surprise. The speakers and their quality are amazing. The 14-inch screen is what we need (in my opinion, this is how tablets should be). It's very lightweight, which makes it a bit awkward to carry (you're afraid it might slip). The connections to WiFi and cellular are immediate without any disconnections. I haven't seen it heat up no matter how much I've used it. Unfortunately, I can't give an opinion on gaming because I don't play. However, when it comes to programs, its speed is impressive, and I believe this is due to the Snapdragon processor because it comes with Snapdragon and not Exynos in Greece, and I think Exynos is responsible for various delays in Samsung's flagship devices in Greece. To sum up, it's really worth its price and takes productivity in your work one step further.
