      Anonymous, 09 Oct 2016no ir blaster? No thank youI'm with you on this. They should ditch that stupid heart-rate sensor (since you can do the same with the LED-lamp and camera anyway) and put the IR-blaster back in them. And of course user-replaceable batteries while keeping inductive charging.

          guys let me explain you one thing,what copying means in fact
          when somebody make somethng that dosent exist yet,and put that in there product,and then when somebody do the same thing thats copying,but when third brand do the same again its not realy copying any more,so in fact if im not wrong no clicky button allready exist on one plus 3(im not sure,and not going to bother to check that out) so then apple copy them
          just like apple copy(you can find on wiki,i dont remember any more) somebody with finger print scanner(i think it was motorola),but samsung allso di thing like that for example,they copied apple patents..then i think it was some thing about bluethoot tech etc...
          samsung and apple dont invent they copy thing that allready exist,but 99% of people dosent know about them
          and yes this new headphones motorola make same thing allready
          apple was something else when steve was a live..

              Someone Else, 09 Oct 2016So, you're telling us that when Samsung "copy" Apple in les... moreYour right. It will benefit us, the user, in the long run as I have stated on here.

              Your also right about fanboys as well. A well round, knowledgeable person will have their preferred handset (me, iPhone) but will know that is not perfect. Fanboys wont admit their chosen phones cons but will be quick to list their pros.

                Bentham, 09 Oct 2016..where will the sensors go if the front is all screen? First I read of display-embedded fingerprint scanners or sensors with CrucialTek, followed by LG Innotek, then Synaptics, and, just recently, we have news of Apple not slacking on that race, too. Where does Samsung fit in this picture, now that an S8 with all-screen front is up in the air? Frankly, I do not know but maybe this would help: http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_patents_sensor_pads_to_control_devices_with_their_edges-blog-13002.php

                              I like it that the physical home is button will be out n now in the screen. Let it b flexible that it is everywhere once ur fone is turn the other way around. Let it b all-in-one dual camera with advanced technologies yet unthinkable/unimaginable. Center selfie camera this time on the s8 n others to come....sammy make dem u're worthy....

                                  It would be perfect if Samsung put a removable battery on the new S8 !!!

                                      AnonD-434953, 09 Oct 2016as usual copycat samesung...after apple added the non click... moreAs a two phone user (two phones different operating systems) an FYI
                                      BB 10 OS & Windows phone 8 since 2013 (earlier?) albeit I accept no fingerprint scanner do not have a physical home button, NOT on the phones I have

                                      My point is that has been there done that and the natural progression of the smartphone

                                      I agree that the Pixel is a Google "iPhone" but be under no allusion it is Apple that has restricted many features into the iPhone and releases it at a snails pace.

                                      There was no technological race to do away with the home button, so Apple 3 years after Microsoft & Blackberry have led the way in nothing

                                      So those of you without memory expansion and fully functioning Bluetooth & NFC do take NOTE
                                      Apple did not magically go from a 4 inch screen to a 4.7 inch screen, it just tweaked the iPhone 5 adding Apple Pay and sold you 2 years later the same phone, I.e if you were on a two year contract you bought the same phone
                                      Deny, well here is the comparison http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=6378&idPhone2=4910

                                      Wow innovation not

                                        Someone Else, 09 Oct 2016So, you're telling us that when Samsung "copy" Apple in les... morehe already said that apple copy android feature but it takes 2 3 years to follow ... like big screen , water proofing (some sam fan claim samsung invented that feature)

                                        and no , all fan are worst ...
