(Just to name a few)

regs, 30 Mar 2017phone is for a one-hand usage (170mm tall)Most people have two hands and can utilize both of them. Does not mean the phone would be uncomfortable to use. And I use my "shovel" with only one hand, but then again - this is not a big device. For me, I take the added comfort that only a big screen can provide instead of 100 % single-handed usability. That I have never cared about and I bet it remains so as well. Feel free not to buy a big phone, though. I do the same with small phones. :)

AnonD-270570, 30 Mar 2017Samsung super amoleds has the best viewing angles in a smar... moreSamsung fanboys always use displaymate as a reference and according to them your beloved Pentile AMOLED viewing angle is not better in everything at 30 degree viewing angle Pentile AMOLED stay brighter than IPS LCD and keep the infinite contras ratio BUT it has larger color shift than the IPS display on the iPhone 6/7.
So... at an angle your beloved Pentile AMOLED is only better at keeping the screen brighter and contrasy but the color is no longer accurate.
Source Displaymate:

Actually if you have sensitive eyes you may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether because the Pentile AMOLED on Samsung smartphones flickers.

So... once again i prove you wrong and the IPS LCD on the iPhone is actually safer and easier on the eyes.
The Pentile AMOLED also has another problem like retention, burn in and when the OLED start to degrade the color balance of your beloved display gonna be more messed up than LCD because the red, green and blue OLED have different lifetime.

2 still the biggest for mainstream Mobile device
3 even movies are shot @24-25 FPS what are you gonna do with 60 ? Game on video footage
4. Try s pay once you might like it
5. How did you expect it to be? With a USB type ç to type a splitter? Good luck without cooling it with the data transfer rates and power transfer required simultenously it'll melt the moment you Connect it

It's nice to see how even Apple fanboys are praising the Galaxy S8 in Reddit. You can't go wrong with that gorgeous Infinity Display.
