It's the post adjustment of the blur that reviewers are making a big deal of. And rightfully so.
I'm personally just waiting for an app or mod, that you can take shots from both lens at the same time without using Live Focus.
Oh I agree that the live focus and post shot adjustments are Greta and I'm looking forward to using them.
Can you still do artificial brokeh from the front facing camera like you could on the S8 plus?
Also on old Samsung phones using selective focus you could chose which part of the picture foreground or background was in focus after taking the picture is that gone now they have the dual lens photo?
This is probably one of the best pictures I took in portrait mode using my 7 +
Post image .... I get the adjust background blur button, then it has two tabs on the bottom for Near Focus and Pan Focus.

The difference is the second saved image is the one from the telephoto lens without bokeh on the iPhone, but on the Note 8 is the second image the one from the wide angle lens.
Yea, I was confused for a second. I had to check if there was an aperture difference from the EXIF. On the iPhone same aperture between both photos. On the Note 8 differ apertures between photos.
Good thing you got to Atlanta. My friend took 3 days from Boca Raton to Auburn, Alabama because roads were clogged. I honestly don’t know when most people return to FL and when normalcy returns.

I am only doing a payment structure to take advantage of promos. I’ll pay off my phone ASAP and use it for multiple years to come.
Got a gripe with the notification center unless there's possibly a fix.
Woke up this morning with 21 notifications on Twitter. Pressed the dropped down on Twitter to see them. Only showed 8. If I deleted one then another would show.
This can be a problem for me. On the iPhone, I would browse the many Twitter notifications as it shows all notifications and click on the one I wanted to see.
Any fix to this?

Sadly this is the issue I've found on Samsung devices..after a while twitter notifications stop coming through while on apple devices it's unlimited
Darn. That sucks. Did a quick search in the Play store and couldn't find something to alter this but it was just a quick look.
I use Twitter as my main social media feed and seeing all the notifications are important so I can view/respond to the one I need to.
How do you guys deal with this?
Sadly all twitter notifications stopped coming through after 50 tweets which means you need to clear out the twitter notifications before they start coming through again
I mean I'll almost never have 50 in que but the fact that I have to view/delete the top 8 to view 8 more means I can't come back to some later while take care of the ones I want to see immediately.
On the iphone, while not being grouped by app sucks, I could take a peek at all notifications and have an idea of what to take care of first.
Hey, to each their own and all that but is it really that important to review all incoming tweets on the notification shade vs just going into the app? What's the difference?
In the app it shows tweets from everyone you follow. No place to see just the poeple you get notifications from. Unless you click on each of the users/accounts to view their thread which can take a while when your notifications come from many accounts. That's my experience.
That just goes to show you how blind apple customers are. They'll buy the next iPhone because it has an apple logo.
I really wouldn't put it past customers to splurge on the iPhone X.
Analysts suggest consumers will pay $999+ price of iPhone X as they prioritize spending

Wait, was this ever in doubt? Of course people are going to buy the phone in droves. Of course.
Yep, there are a ton of them here, rightfully expected. I personally think iOS is good and so is Android. At this point, Apple better come swinging with the iPhone X or it's sayonara to them from me. I refuse to pay premium pricing. I can get the Note 8 for $150 out of pocket after a BOGO deal, selling my SE, and selling the freebies with the Note 8. Already have a buyer lined up for the 360 camera.
A lot of people on this side of the board would argue that I am better off with the Note 8 because of the best OLED screen on the market, the blazing fast 835 processor, superb dual camera experience, a high end water resistant stylus, a VR experience in the palm of my hand, Samsung's bevy of features, and the other features the Note 8 packs.
I say not so fast because I have to give the iPhone 8 a fair chance since I waited all this long. It's about 60/40 in favor of the Note 8 because I do miss some android features, but then again, I might miss iOS again at some point because both are good OSes. Though Samsung's laggy software will take ultra patience. iOS' Fisher Price style takes patience too because it lags on the 7+ and could lag on iOS 11 with the new iPhone X because it may be a rushed product.
[doublepost=1505146391][/doublepost]Btw, you have to laugh at the notion you must pay a premium for a stylus that needs to be charged and is exclusive to iPads when the Note line has a stylus that works without being charged. And it works well to add.
I can't believe people still try to make this argument.
Not really a big deal as I don't have twitter notifications on as I get too many so I leave it on my iPad. It's not an issue during the day but as an NBA fan it was an issue as tweets stopped during the night when I sometimes liked to view them in the morning
