                          S8 and S8+ have horrible design and are useless phones. Edge screen is useless and ugly. It is more vulnerable to cracking when dropped, your palm accidentally touch the edge screen, the curved edge screen reflects the environmental light which is annoying, and the edge scree also distorts the content on screen. Non-removable battery, no FM Radio, no IR blaster, ... So S8 is an useless, gimmick phone. The only good thing in S8 is the heat pipes (CPU cooling) and the display resolution options.

                          Still the best smartphones are LG G5 and V20.

And the reason why I like XZ Premium is because the screen is just right and ur hand doesn't block the screen plus that "bezel" everyone always talk about Sony and not IPHONE idk why that bezel give u 2 dual front facing speakers, while this only got a bottom firing speaker.

                                So yeah, I guess you could say I am envious of Samsung fnboys.
                                Its so much easier to live that way.

                                  well, my Sharp Aquos 302sh, 402sh and Xx are still serving me till today... all the bezel-less or 'inifinity' display 'gimmicks' Samsung and Apple trying to play now is outdated, considering we Japanese had them since 2014...

                                  don't compare about specifications etc, they do not reflect 100% in real life usage...

Once Samsung itself told Edge version is selling more than flat versions. In fact i am not using any guards on my 2 year old S6E's screen. It didn't have single scratch on it. Use an otterbox or spigen tough armor, that's enough.
