Reading this on my s8+ that's still working perfectly. The battery doesn't last a full day but is still fine to keep the phone as a daily driver. I don't have Android updates anymore (which I now consider a plus, there's nothing exciting about new Android updates) and the only apps that I would use and can't install are Workday and Slack - not a huge loss. I don't have 5G but 4G+ is fine - on WiFi most of the time. It's really day and night versus my past experience with the Nexus 4/Nexus 6P where almost every day you had to debug something or fight bootloops. I'll probably get the next iPhone in a few weeks but I'm glad I was able to keep this phone for that long. The worst things were Bixby and the curved display. The best thing was definity the camera.
