AnonD-77443, 22 Apr 2017Sorry, dxomark says otherwise.
S7E scores 87
V20 scores 8... morei do not care about dx whatever it is
v20 camera is better than s7
g6 is better than s8
full stop
Used to have many (only S line) samsung phones in the past. Not any more. S8 is nothing special. v30 will eat it. G6 is better value for money and better camera. P10 plus is also better than s8. I do not need bencharms and ranklists payed by samsung

... moreOnly problem is that the S8/S8+ are giving record sales figures.
No doubt some of this is GN7 owners like myself who had to return the GN7.

AnonD-521587, 21 Apr 2017lol bro sony has been ahead. Its samsung that has caught up... moreSony was always bad that's why it never sold too well.
Initial sales are made due to marketing, but long term sales happen due to the quality of the product. Sony was always trying to cut corners in the hardware department believing their own myth (optimizations matter more). But given that all (apart from Apple) run android, means that hardware is by far the most important differentiating factor, Sony's cuts *directly* impacted their sales.
Similarly with Samsung lately. Up until Note 3/4 they used to load their phones and they would sell incredibly, once they started cutting corners their flagships' sales started falling and by now they have fall of a cliff. Only in Apple hardware is secondary, in everybody else load your phone and great sales are guaranteed.

AlienNextDoor, 21 Apr 2017Note 4 is still such a great phone. I feel somewhat bad abo... moreNote 4 was clearly the better phone.
S-pen
Better use of QHD as it has the bigger screen
IR
1 minute recharge (pop a spare) instead of 90 minute recharge (quick charge)
Practical to double battery capacity (carry a spare or use a bigger battery instead carrying a mobile charger)
Far easier to repair (everything is a few screws away)
Much greater community support (software support even when Samsung stops)
Actually extremely fast when using the Exynos version.
What it lacks:
Not water proof (a gimmick to most, it's still splash proof)
Bad fingerprint sensor (actually a problem to some)
Speed (not really, though custom software it's actually faster since the hardware is veery similar)
So yeah, a bad idea to replace Note 4 (best Samsung phone ever) with a lower quality phone (s7) just because it looks flashier and/or is newer. The power of marketing, when it convinces people to buy products that are actually worse than the one they had.
Note 4 is *still* the kind of phones. Nothing touches it to this day, especially is one uses custom roms.

In Australia i was $1349 pre-order (with free gear VR).
That is getting up near apple prices but...
The S8+ has the best screen, best camera, best looks (imho), great build quality and great battery life.
I'm happy to pay a bit extra to get the best :-)

The Exynos beat the Snapdragon in most benchmark tests. Either way, both versions are lightning fast and more than anyone needs.

I would strongly recommend you to go for SONY XPERIA XZ Premium, Nokia N8, One Plus 5
Europe and US market average 52k but India 64k with much lower hardware configuration.
Samsung India overpriced S8+ at least 25% because of following reason:
a. Providing Exynos 8895 Octa - EMEA and Octa-core (4x2.3 GHz & 4x1.7 GHz) - EMEA Mali-G71 MP20 - EMEA
b. pre register - wireless charger, absolute no use.
European and American Market:
a. Qualcomm MSM8998 Snapdragon 835, Octa-core (4x2.35 GHz Kryo & 4x1.9 GHz Kryo), Adreno 540
b. pre booking: new gear VR
Now my Indian friends to take the decision to go with S8+ or any other high end at low cost
