    While I was waiting for a note 7, and I would buy one if it wasnt for battery issues, I've no interest to replace my note 4 with s8. I'm not waiting for note 8 either, for one simply reason - dont like the direction samsung has taken with design/build. There was a lot of things I didnt like about note 7, non removable battery, glass back, edge screen but it had an s pen and proper buttons under screen. S8 has none of it and became as any other phone to be honest as all of them have on screen buttons, non removable batteries etc. and if there is no difference why should I go for it? I'm going with mate 9 to replace my note 4, it has flat screen which I find better suited for everyday use, it has metal back so I dont need any case on it, and everything else is pretty much the same. I dont care at all about wireless charging, waterproofing and iris scanner, none of these features are on my "must have" list so I dont see any reason why should I stick with samsung. It was a nice 6 years with few samsung phones but its time to move on now. Mate 9, here I come.

        Was hoping to get this to replace my missing Note 7, Sadly I'm not paying £800 for a phone with less RAM than its same Chinese version!

          Will wait for 8 plus. ( Had S6 edge plus, Had Note 7, yes absolutely loved it. Now have s7 edge, no complaints, nice nice phone ! I can keep more than 55 web pages open on chrome on my phone !! ......... no lag or crashes !)

            Yeah, most consumers know about the Note7's problems, and the average Joes will probably stay away from it. Heck, my friend owns an S6, and my friend group will still make the occasional "It's a Samsung, it's gonna explode!" quip. Preorders may be strong, since I doubt many regular people strive to preorder a phone, but total sales will definitely be weaker than the S7 series, if you ask me.

                  This looks like the best phone ever. But I'm gonna wait until I can get it for $700 on eBay... Go Galaxy!

                      Afterall, it's just a simple FM reciever. Not very hard to incorporate and just a infinitesimally small fraction of the cost they invested for Bixby.

                        A lot of us Note users buy the Note series, not really for the size but for the additional utility conferred by the S Pen. Therefore a lot of us will be waiting for the next Note rather than settling for the S8

                          potential note 7 buyers have long moved on...or will wait for the next note...i bought a zenfone 3 to save money for the next note..if one turns up that is..

                                I deffo think this is true this is their flagship device and it has a new design and more powerful hardware, alot of people will go for this device because apart from G6 and the Xiaomi Mi Mix there isn't anything like this out there.

                                It will sell loads

                                  Wow, seems like S8 is going to be a hotter product than Note7 ;p

                                      I'm not so sure about those numbers. People will wait and see what the reviewers say before buying because this is such a departure from usual galaxy phones. Still will sell like hot cakes.
