AnonD-270570, 07 Mar 2017These days most people open gsmarena to get news or a small... morewell, I have note4 actually. I love Samsung. I just want to express my feelings here bro

    Everyone here is talking about how the S8 will be etc. etc. and I'm all like "Oh boy, someone's going to get their ass fired because of that video."
    On a more solemn note, why on earth would this person publicise a phone that specifically mentions NOT to publicise, thereby inviting a potential lawsuit? Seriously, the things people would do for fame these days....

      why everybody is hating the design is beyond me. It does look good from the front and back. only thing that i didn't anticipate is the size of 5.8 inch which too big for a normal user. I hope there will be a S8 mini with 5.2 or 5.3 and reduced price. They stopped the mini versions since the S5 but thats ok since s6 and s7 had lower end of the inches. Why do phones have to be that big I dont know.

        Alien , 07 Mar 2017Hahaha! Have you seen the comments in Sony articles?! T... moreUmm... What? Sony is like a grain of sand in the smartphone market, especially compared to Samsung. What nonsense are you spouting about? Regarding your statement about publicity, that isn't always true. When Note7's were going off in people's hands left and right, do you think Samsung sold even more phones? When their top officials were being arrested left and right, do you think Samsung sold more phones? No! That is not applicable in the smartphone landscape

            Alien , 07 Mar 2017Hahaha! Have you seen the comments in Sony articles?! T... moreWhat are you talking about? Sony threads are filled with meaningless praise. I mean the phones may be slammed in all medium, yet rapid fans think it's the best thing since sliced bread.

            I agree that Samsung gets mostly hate, but Sony certainly gets much more praise, often unearned praise, it's as if some people are being paid to praise Sony blindly in sites like this one. Of course most of the world knows and buys Samsungs and iPhones ... still in sites like this one they think Sony is the best!

              Someone Else, 07 Mar 2017Nope, you're wrong. GSMArena readers are 70% Samsung HATERS... moreHahaha! Have you seen the comments in Sony articles?!
              The bigger and better a company is, the more hate comments they'll get. That's why there are so many trolls on Sammy and Sony threads.
              If they would have anything inside their heads they would know that ANY kind of publicity is GOOD publicity - marketing lesson for dummies 101 :))
              So let them troll. Their brains can't comprehend anything else..
              I call them one-filter-monkeys :))

                  Though it helps if the news is segregated by phone or some relevant topic threads.

                    [deleted post]These days most people open gsmarena to get news or a small glimpse of the most awaited phone in couple of years - galaxy S8. All tech sites are working hard to get accurate info and pics before the competition. If some people like you hate Samsung, it doesn't mean they need to pay anyone to create hype for the amazing phone. I'm sure they aren't happy with all the leaks but there are many people who just come here to get more info about their next phone. Stop being jealous if your Xiomi or oppo isn't getting the same media hype.

What with them discarding the home button. But I still wouldn't make such a rash claim about being paid for advertisements and increasing the hype. Of course, it is a possibility, but he could do without the accusing tone.

                        I liked the S7/S7 Edge design much more than this S8 dummy..

                            Too long, ugly. They should have never had gone with such a wide aspect ratio. It's too much at this point.

                            They should have used Mi Mix's aspect ratio of 17:9. It looks proportionate and supports standard resolutions (2k and 4k) something that the wire aspect ratios of LG and Samsung doesn't.

                            Lastly it allows for proper 16:9 content when the soft buttons are on, Samsung and lg are going to have ugly black bars all over the place. Samsung and LG didn't think their moves through ... I predict they'll abandon those weird aspect ratios after a while fans will complain).

                                [deleted post]You're right - I find the daily news of Samsung really annoying nowadays - like click bait, but I wouldn't be rash to make an accusation like that. But since you did, where is the proof?

                                (No, don't make me find it - that's your responsibility as the one with the accusation. No saying "you are this and that" ad hominem nonsense either)

                                  [deleted post]Nope, you're wrong. GSMArena readers are 70% Samsung HATERS. I mean, did you see the comment section in ANY Samsung article before? The amount of Samsung fanboy's comment are basically been drown by the sheer amount of Samsung hater's comment. The more haters, the more fights, and the more views GSMArena get. :)

                                    totally nor for me

                                      *DO NOT LEAK INFO*

                                      You have one job dude. You are so getting fired. XD

                                        [deleted post]Relax bro. GSMArena is a MOBILE TECH SITE. OF COURSE they are gonna covered up about the Galaxy S8 leak. It will be a shame in the mobile tech site comunity if they didn't. Did you know that article like these have the most traffic?. The more traffic, the more views GSMArena get and more money they get from the Google Adsense. GSMArena would be stupid if they didn't covered up these leaks. If you don't want any leak, then get out the site until the Galaxy S8 been unveiled! Btw, the same thing happen with the iPhone 7. And it will happen again with the iPhone 8. Bwahahaah
