        I'm all for Samsungs top features,but I do not believe that they will not offer a version that is closer to a normal sized phone, being 5 inches to 5.2 inches for a lot of people and this is coming from someone who loves their Galaxy S7 Edge.

              As a Note 7 purchaser and never receiver, All I want is the SPen with the S8pro! To tide me over to the Note 8.

              Im at a loss with some peoples comments though, No HD radio? I'm sorry but I don't want to listen to radio on my $800 smartphone. Also why all the fuss about stereo speakers? Im not one of these sad annoying people who has to annoy everyone else with there music blaring out from there phone on a train or bus! That's why I get a decent pair of headphones!

              If you want stereo speakers go blow less money on Hifi or Dab radio.

                  At least I hope, it wouldn't be the fake ''stereo speakers'' solution, like on iPhone7.

                    AnonD-612904, 05 Dec 2016Dual Stereo Speakers, are simply an absolute mustNonsense!!!
                    Stereo speakers on such small size devices like smartphones, and puny speakers are clearly overblown feature. Who prefer to listen music on speakers, and how deep the stereo effect could be with so small distance between the speakers.
                    I would take loud, rich and clear mono sound, over that ''feature''.

                      Still no HD radio support or removable battery , oh well

                        The bigger S8 will do nothing to pacify we Note users if it does not come with an S Pen. The note is more than just the size and is infact more of the S Pen that it is the size of the phone.

                                GSMArena, everything you said in this post is an excellent news. But the final point is that everything must be true. Most specially the dual Stereo speakers, and not from next year, BUT FROM THIS YEAR 2017. And because the S8 is really the most important launch in all Samsung' s history.

                                  LostInTheSorrow, 05 Dec 2016Obviously there are too many rumors as getting true stereo ... moreThe top and bottom idea is good but against Samsung idea of creating bezel-less phone.

                                    Samsung is blowing away the competion on areas as: screen, battery life, camera, VR, audio, HR video, usability, safety with Knox, Samsung Pay with MST, VIV a REAL AI personal assistant and on and on and on....

                                    Bye bye apple and others..

                                      Obviously there are too many rumors as getting true stereo speakers and bezel-less display in the same device is tough to make. Unless they'd place one speaker on the top and one on the bottom of the phone so when phone is being held horizontally stereo effect is created. If both of speakers would be placed on the bottom or on the back then I wouldn't consider created sound effect as true stereo.
