        Verizon and AT&T will put their logo on the back. T-Mobile and Sprint do not. Verizon is the worst at it although surprisingly the Google Pixel I got from them doesn't show any Verizon logo, boot up animation, or bloat. Verizon didn't molest the Google phone similar to iPhones.

        If Verizon wasn't so expensive with a $20 monthly access fee and didn't brand or cripple the Android snartphones so much, I would stick with them. Happy with my T-Mobile One plan now. I would get the S8 ONLY if there is a trade-in promo involving the S7 edge, battery life is much improved, and Samsung got rid of the lag that plagued the S7e.

        Thinking of selling my SD820 S7 edge. I searched for an address last night using GMaps and the animation would stutter when it zoomed on the map. I do it for my G5 and Pixel and animation was smooth as butter. Their touch response is also quicker. SD820 S7e is clearly inferior at smooth, fluid software experience to the other two including LG which was known for a heavy, laggy, ugly skin prior.

        My LG is on Android 6, btw. My S7e is on Nougat. So there is a chance getting an S8 if a great trade-in promo comes up involving its predecessor which I find overrated. Just keep searching on Slick Deals for one. I only keep the S7 edge for water-resistance and the occasional novelty for VR. And yet,VR is very pixelated and grainy when streaming it on my network.

        T-Mobile = no carrier logo branding! And faster network than Sprint.

          it should be better with just a simple galaxy image on it instead of actual branding logo or written logos

                Ugh... I really enjoy OP3 only having the 1+ logo on the back and no text anywhere. The less branding the better.

If I had a choice, I would prefer to have the one without huge branding details on the front. The back is enough just like the iPhone and OnePlus.

                    That camera looks huge

                        Meanwhile, in Japan they dont even have 'Samsung' written on it at the front or back. They only write 'Galaxy' on the back of Japan version.

                          Well that's definitely better than the ugly DUOS branding
