Jumbo, 12 Mar 2017I'm still wondering how Samsung isn't being charged over an... moreWhy should they be charged for it? Samsung manufactured the SD 835 using Samsung's own 10 nm FinFET process technology, and they merely have first dibs on the first batch of the chipsets. The 10nm process in making the SD 835 is more difficult and time consuming to produce so other manufacturers have to wait for their turn.

I'm still wondering how Samsung isn't being charged over anti-competitive practices over this SD835 situation.

Anonymous, 11 Mar 2017Lol you're saying it's more expensive to build a small beze... moreThe big screen-to-body ratio makes the device more expensive. Not the smaller bezels. If it's cheap to make, than every midrange smartphone have bezel-less design. I mean, come one. It's so obvious. That feat of engineering is expensive to produce.

FaceGle, 11 Mar 2017Just like what I've mentioned, nothing is new. Camera, 4k ... moreSo is Samsung introducing something new with the camera of the S8 and S8+? At least the XZ Premium has something we never have seen on smartphones before, and no need to be an id**t to not know what I'm talking about :D

FaceGle, 11 Mar 2017Snapdragon 835? Even before, there is already a processor, ... moreAh so if to put intp perspective, the SD835 is just as powerful as the SD800, 801, 805, 808, 810, 820, and 821 if all of them are manufactured in the same 10nm process. I wonder why they all have different number of cores though :)

This is cheaper than LG G6 that uses an older chipset. XZ Premium is definitely bang for the buck.

sony announce phone in feb launch in june .... samsung announce in april launch in april , purely from a sales team perspective it would have helped sony quite a bit to have a months head start on the s8 and be the best phone on the market .... now its just gonna be lost between post s8 pre iphone 7s/8 sales ( not a good place to be for any phone manufacturer)

Is this price for real? So who would buy an S8 for around 800? Just for smaller bezels? Though as I said before,those useless part of the curved screen on galaxy edge versions are bezels hiding behind the display,as those areas are totally out of finger control

Scr*w benzels, such price for such phone? Definitely the best flagship of Q1 2017- both LG G6 and S8 are way behind. Just where did they get SD 835 from?
