- Battery problems
There are a few smartphones in the market with good battery life and unfortunately, Galaxy S8 is not among them.
The Galaxy S8 is powered by a 3000 mAh battery life but it isn’t sufficient to complement its infinity display. If you have been facing poor battery life issues, the following might be one of the reasons.
- High screen resolution
The device comes with resolution between HD+, FHD+ and WQHD+. However, the WQHD+ or the 2K resolution isn’t really usable unless you use it to watch 2k content.
Therefore, if you’ve chosen a high resolution setting, a shift towards FHD will surely make battery last a bit longer.
- Turn off Always on display
Though this setting makes your device look stylish, it consumes up a big amount of battery power. If battery drainage is your problem, go and turn off this feature.

- Slow Touchwiz
Though the device has Snapdragon 835 processor, sometimes its interface might lack efficiency, particularly when you scroll or search for apps. However, if it really irritates you, updating it to the latest version can do the job. Samsung has dealt with this issue by launching an update to the TouchWiz at the Play Store that is really helpful in getting rid of the stuttering and surely, renders a much cleaner look.
