      Whackcar, 11 Feb 2018S8 is clearly the better looking device from both front and... moreAgreed. This is a huge gamble from Samsung, they put all their "eggs" in the improved camera basket.. Yeah I like a good camera of course but it isnt a big selling point for me. To me this S9 render, if true, will flop for Samsung. S8 looks better, has Snapdragon 835 which is still very good, iris scanner and overall looks more futuristic..

        I simply hope the leaks are wrong. And if they aren't wrong - I see ton of people getting S8 for a good price, like you said.

                                Whatever they do.. there will be lag. If you are power user then go for iphone. Most of reviews of samsung phone are incorrect. I did great mistake by changing iphone 6s with note 8.

                                  weelll I'll stick with my S8+ for another year for sure. Nothing groundbreaking, and I was hoping, they manage the fingerpritnsensor, get rid of bezzels... OK, maybe in 2019 or 2020 or 2021

                                      The curved display is practically useless, only used for show off in the current generation. Why would you curve you display and see less of the picture. You might as well curve it all the way round the back of the phone and call it 100% screen to body ratio.
                                      This whole StB ratio competition is getting out of hand. Manufactures competing on minimizing bezels to the point where they sacrifice your viewing experience and robustness of their phones to "get ahead" of the industry.
                                      Only Samsung would think of such a stupid marketing strategy and other manufacturers stupidly follow suit.
