My phone is my computer

That is the idea and to a great extent it works well. Samsung has made it very simple to use, just plug in your S8 or S8+ and within a few seconds your phone is now a full blown computer. Its speed is excellent and many of the software packages spring to a full screen without any difficulty. Those that do not. simply show up as a large phone on your screen. With apps available from the app store you can get many other apps to go to full screen (DEX MAX for example). Although you could save your files locally on your phone it is just as easy to save them to the cloud so you do not need a large amount of storage space on the phone. For us older folks this device certainly makes it a lot easier to use those apps that require a lot of typing or just wanting to see the larger print while reading articles. You can use the browser that comes with the phone or one of your choosing such as Google. However some are still just larger phone formats. There is an option in Google, for example, to request a site be the full site, not the mobile one and mostly that will work. Over all I would say this is a great start and someday will deserve a 5 star, but that day of a 5 star review is still a ways off. With both Google, and now Samsung, encouraging app creators to allow their apps to be scaled to full screen, I doubt it will be very long until it is a much better and useful product.Read full review
