              Bixby cannot hear me most of the time. I've trained & retrained Bixby at every volume and voice style setting with no improvement.

                I can't see why they don't do it for the S7 as well. More or less the same dual pixel camera setup.

                    I guess the Potrait Mode will replace the Selective Focus, that has been there on Samsung flagships since the Galaxy S5......

                      Won't make any difference, the S8 camera is severely overrated. I came from a Nexus 6p a month ago. The screen and real estate is fantastic on the S8 Plus - head and shoulders above everything else. But sadly that's where it ends. I know I'm a loan voice in this given the reviews this device has received, but I'm literally shocked - the results I've had are woeful compared to the Nexus 6p. I do a lot of close up shots, wider landscapes and my kids running about. On all fronts the 6p out performed the S8. My kids have to stay perfectly still otherwise nothing but motion blur ensues and the auto focus is so sensitive that you get a small 'cube' of super-focus at the centre of every image with nothing but blur around it. Every shot looks like it's been edited to have a radius blur around it. I was convinced I had a faulty device, but I'm on my second one now and it's the same as the first.

                        Can it come on s7 too?

                          Personally I haven't really used any sort of portrait mode much at all, all of them seem to be pretty hit or miss across all devices I've seen. The only phone that seems to do a solid job is the new pixel 2 but that isn't even in consumers hands so we don't know how reliable it will actually be

                            Portrait mode was always there in S8, S7 and even S6. It's called selective focus. Samsung added new feature to save the image as new with selected focus which also saves the space. So, portrait mode on Samsung will just be another shortcut where you'll loose the option to select the focus later.

                              Samsung bringing new software feature to an already released flagship is a rare thing and should be praised.

                                The note 8 is not better than the s8plus so everyone can get off that,2 cameras on the note 8 big deal,bring on the galaxy s8 and s8plus upgrade,this device already kicks ass.
