I'm guessing this won't have a notification LED, right? I mean, where would it be?
Why is it so hard for the companies to build my dream phone?
Decent size, not too wide, (ideally front) fingerprint sensor, a fricking notification LED and OIS.
That so hard?

I like the gray and blue version, waiting for the review and battery test. This is a good alternative over those popular brands if you want unique style. Hopefully the update is also good and on time with 3-4 years support even if the shipping cost is more than $100 dollars.

Sohail, 30 May 2017I was so excited for this smartphone by Andy Rubin since th... moreAgree. But realistically thinking, if you're able to shell out $700+ for a phone, you also should be able to spend $10-$50 for a dongle or $100+ for a Bluetooth headset.
In short, your pocket is considered 'deep enough' if you're willing to buy a $700 phone in the first place

Cool design, but...
- No SD card slot
- No waterproofing
- No 3.5mm jack
Why should I buy this again?
These are the only phones worth buying so far: http://m.gsmarena.com/results.php3?chk35mm=selected&sFreeText=snapdragon%20835&sAvailabilities=1,2&sIPCerts=1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9&sOSes=2&idCardslot=1

If there is ever going to be a phone with a screen without bezels, please use transparent screen with a camera behind. Screen with round corners is enough of change, why fragment screen any more?

Ceramic looks beautiful and never ... moreDude, ceramic is not immune to scratches, it has a high scratching point, also if your ceramic covered phone falls, that thing is permanently broken. The harder something is, the easier it is to shatter. That's why gorilla glass is a good implementation since it doesn't compromise the durability and scratch resistance of the glass.

If I'm not mistaken, that battery size is just slightly bigger than what is in the S8. So GSM, that does necessarily mean that battery life will be poor. I think for the size of the phone its a remarkable achievement. I just want them to unveil pre-orders internationally already. I'm a little bored of my iPhone already but most importantly. I can't stand Siri. Slow and doesn't recognise me. Google gets me every single time and is faster.

Due to one systems closed nature it won't be possible porting them for your system while another is already a emulator. You want apps of emulator to run in another emulator on top of native one? Windows was dropped long back even by Microsoft so even that won't cut it..

Anyway why take away other's choices? I don't want to charge bluetooth headphones, and yes I use headphones while charging my phone. Why does your preference overule mine when we can have both? The technology for wireless headphones has been on the consumer market since at least those bluetooth headsets came out 10+ years ago.(I'll admit the quality must have improved, but that's not my issue.) The Galaxy S8 has Bluetooth 5 and a 3.5mm jack. Bam everyone is happy, but only in theory it seems. :/

And what makes a cordless world better? Not having to untangle wires? Personally not a big deal, and if it is to you bluetooth was on my old Samsung Gravity, so bam you're set. Wires work, wireless is finicky

Goes to show howmirrelevatn Samsung's idea of Bezeless is. Samsung lacks taste so winner or later she will die.
