AnonD-510098, 15 Oct 2016Agreed, no smartphones should cost more than £500 in ... moreI will second that. I'm done with flagships if this is how it'll be. There is no justification for those prices. On the other side, I went for Moto Z Play recently (£370). Not a flagship phone, but near enough (don't really need top SoC in my phone). Funny part? I charge it once every 3-4 days on medium usage. Now that's an achievement in the modern world!

        Do they really want to embarrass themselves again and make destructive devices lol, we might see fireworks this time, should be exciting, as per usual Sony and Qualcomm rock. Samsung should retire from making mobile devices they are a downright joke.

                mir, 15 Oct 2016Not really gonna hope for the price to be reasonable. Even ... moreYeah, its good that they are pushing the boundaries with things like 4k, but until they push the boundaries in a way that I actually find compelling, then there's no real reason to pay a premium for it when there are solid performers for significantly less.

                    I support samsung and am very saddened by whay happened with the note 7 and the end of the note series. Although I am not a samsung fan but I support them because I very much enjoyed my first android phone from them and would love for them to make a comeback! Still an LG fan though :D

                        You do realize those Plus iphones are their phablets which came out 3-4 years after phablets have been invented?

                          UHD displays are going in the right direction & also needs to bump up to 8GB RAM which SD 830 is capable of supporting, it would be a bonus if Galaxy S8 also comes equip with Hi Res DAC audio & stereo speakers too.

                                Samsung will now bringing back the Plus phones instead of there Note series phones, these phones will offer better functions than the other phone type created, so the Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus, its like copying Apple again who offer the Plus phones, the Biggest question that Samsung will be asked"Will this Note 7 Battery Saga make you bring back the Removable Battery Options Now",this would make there phones more popular as the Note 4 or Galaxy S5 were very popular and no worrying for consumers about there phones Batterylife, Hope they Do and stop using Glass on the Back of there phones, as it Breaks so easily

                                    Not really gonna hope for the price to be reasonable. Even for flagships the prices nowadays are getting super high. At there are a few alternatives that give them a run for their money.
