Another solid review, Damir. I agree, the price right now is too high. I was very impressed with the A series from last year, so hoping for that price drop on this year's model.

They were rolling out Oreo last week(Closer to 2) but they had to pull it since a critical bug apparently inheritant to Oreo 8.0 would cause reboots. Better to get it right then have crazy and unexpected reboots.

I'm just so critical when it comes to Samsung phones though, seems like the best thing they have going for them for me is the edge displays that you are not a fan of, but other than that I don't think I would ever go for a Samsung

Hey Damir, thanks for the nice review. You shouldn't forget that there are not many phones which offer dual sim, plus sd card, plus water resistance. Although the camera is quite good I also noticed a weekness at low light scenarios. Even more INTERESTING: Making a SCREENSHOT with the right timing when using the flash light results in BETTER QUALITY than the actual PHOTO with flash light. For me this is a a clear indication for bad software setup (photo size already at max: 16M). What's your opinion on this? Is there a way to get better photos with this phone (by adjustments, settings,...)?? Hope you can help.

I got the same problem and I was born in Austria. It's a genetic thing. 20,000 years of beer drinking Krouts who live on sausage and sour kraut, live the "good life", are generally over weight and die young with heart attacks! Look at Arnold, same healthy "baby face" etc. etc. If he wouldn't have gone into body building he would have also been a slightly over weight big kid with rosy cheeks. I got them too and I hate it! Now at 66 at least I can hide them with a beard! It's hard to be "fair skinned" where "pink" can be part of your complexion. It's tough being an "Aryan"! (just kidding)!

I have the A8 and there must have been a software update because the fingerprint sensor is super fast and accurate on my phone. There is a micro lag from time to time and the phone still has Android 7.1. in July 2018, so update in needed to Android 8 and I think this will clear the micro lag. Other stuff is great, great battery life, solid camera, software and build. I like it.

Damir Franc What about comparing just the displays of these phones? Obviously the A8+ has a LED screen but only FHD+ and Samsung would have compromised the display quality a little bit so as not to hurt the sales of their actual flagships whereas V10 is probably about as good a LCD display as Huawei can produce at the moment. Which is better?

Damir Franc Wow, that's interesting! I bought the Honor 6x about a year ago and thought it had the best display of any phone in that price range(especially those whites) I quickly upgraded to Honor 8 Pro(mainly because I got a good deal during a sale) but H8 Pro is quite a bit over saturated by default. You can change the color temperature but of course you never get perfect results from that. Which company is manufacturing the best FHD+ LCD displays at the moment? LED displays are great when you can get them but quality LED displays from decent companies unfortunately still cost a premium price.
