Last Thursday I had lost my Samsung J5 2016 on the metro in which I contacted metro and they claim they have not received any phones matching my description, therefore it has most likely been stolen. I had blocked both my SIM and device.
Since Monday I have had my new phone, which is the Samsung Galaxy S8, which I absolutely love. I love the design and the fact that it has no home button, and that it has the software buttons for the navigation such as recent apps, home, and back button.

I find this phone a wonder to use, it just looks beautiful too, I'd say better than the iPhone X, other people has their preferences of course.
I currently use iris scanner as my biometric lock method as well as a PIN. I refuse to use the face scanner as my brother can access the phone too with that, which yes I have already tried and works, god damn it Samsung.
I also like the edge panel and how it's customizable, search Google to view it.
I have my screen display resolution to 4k (2960x1440) and my camera can record 4k as well as photos.
The placement of the fingerprint scanner isn't all that great, which is beside the camera, but does not bother me at all as I don't use it unless some apps may only take fingerprint as a method to unlock it, such as the MyEE app.
