Bixby is a gimmick. It won't walk. Give AI another decade or two before arriving to every day lives.

3d touch is a gimmick two. Basically what this galaxy offered was gimmicks.

Nothing important on the front of things that matter (ram, storage, battery , SoC)

    Vika, 29 Mar 2017Finally the legend is here.... Basically the smallest jump than in any galaxy before that.

    All you get is a taller screen. Everything else is the same or near the same (espec if you already have an exynos s7).
    usb 3.1

    What you get is sligtly better SoC
    Slightly better camera

    What you lose is a a compact device (even the small model is now gargantuan)
    A big battery (even the big model has a middling battery for the screen size)
    A reasonable price.

    Nevery before does a galaxy offered so little over its predecessor. I wonder who is to buy this. Probably fanboys, but I expect lower sales than S7.

            AnonD-564191, 29 Mar 2017That certainly looks like a bombastic phone....wait a minut... moreThey are going to ask lots of your money for it and then you will be spending more money to buy a protective case for it and they have introduce a battery bank as well because they know that it will not last for a day and you need to buy that one too to keep it working,
            In English.. They are cheating with people..
            Bombastic.

              I don't see a single innovation. Ultra-wide screen has been done on Chinese phone before and recently on LG G6. Hardware buttons replaced with Apple 3D Touch pressure-sensitive on screen buttons. Same camera, same multi-frame HDR, same 4GB RAM and 64GB storage (Chinese get 6GB and 128GB storage), same mono speaker, same size battery.

              Beside the screen that's both glare inducing and cutting into corners of photo, how is this an improvement?

                    I got a question for those who have owned an edge version of Sam,are you comfortable with those curved areas when touching by fingers?are those areas fully functional like flat parts?

                      What an amazing fit! stuffing all that in a huge phablet.

                      No thanks! most people don't like giant phones... we like them in our pockets not in bags, we like to easily mount them in cars, we like to use them in one hand! samsung failed big time.

                        Wait for the g6 with snapdragon 835 in the summer and see samsung hot under their feet (devil)
                        Wait end of september for v30 and see samsung again bot under their feet
                        Def 2017 will be under LG logo
                        I will def try g6 and later v30. My v20 is more than brilliant but I like switching changing different models.

                              This is definetly one of the few phones that can match or surpass the Xiaomi Mi Mix in terms of beauty and innovation.

                                But bad in fact, bezeless top and bottom with dual edged screen is... how will people manage it without constant accidental screen activation is beyond me.
                                And fp scanner placement is.... utterly bad.
                                For a bezeless phone G6 is quite a bit better conceived (but that "surprised emoticon“ dual camera and fp scanner on the back of G6 is just...not so serious looking)

                                  AnonD-167790, 29 Mar 2017lg g6 much better than s8 and s8+ iwill go with lg g6i fully agree with lg6 is best phone 2017 ready locked and loaded
