DNeighbor, 22 Apr 2017I know how good the camera is from my wife's S7 Edge. Just ... moreI'll have a look at the Note 8 but an S Pen isn't enough reason to upgrade.
The S8 camera is about the same as the S7 in daylight or a touch better.
Indoors and low light it is a big step up on the S7.
Would have liked dual cameras but that alone probably won't be enough for me to upgrade to the GN8.

The S8+ camera looks amazing in... moreI know how good the camera is from my wife's S7 Edge. Just superb shots every time.
Looking at the battery stamina of the S8+, they are at par with the GN4, and is over 33% better than my current GN3. My logical self is telling me it's have even significant use with an extended 10,000 mAh Zerolemon battery like I use with my Note 3 without having to charge all day with heavy use. No nonsense about charging a standard sealed battery before going home.
As my experience with the GN7 (which I returned after 45 days), I really have to carry around a powerbank even with over 5 hours of screen on time. I loved the manners performance!
I've stopped myself from getting the free subsidized unit for now, because I know the Note8 would totally be lots better.

AnonD-77443, 21 Apr 2017Currently testing the battery usage. 50% screen brightness ... moreI'm SO happy to hear that! I'm picking up the S8+ in a couple of weeks and battery usage has been my main concern. I've had an S6 edge for about 10 months and the battery really struggles. I get maybe 4, 5 hours absolute max of moderate/heavy use, so to hear that the battery on the S8+ is doing SO much better is really relieving!!

Currently testing the battery usage. 50% screen brightness with a mix of web browsing, app installs, video, camera and games.
The S8+ has used 10% battery and is showing 65 minutes screen on time. At that rate i would get nearly 11 hours screen on time with heavy use... THAT IS SIMPLY AWESOME :-)

Its an amazing phone because of its specifications but its design not that much..it looks weird..
WTF Samsung 6.2" its huge, idk is it a phone or a tablet..it will be hard to use, maybe the next year it will be 22"..guys, people dont look at the phone for its size..
Why every new Samsung phone has got a 12mp camera, the GN4 has got 16mp camera, then it started to go down..and of course the battery for S8+ is too small.
XZP has beaten up this one..👎

Black S8+ (Exynos) turned up an hour ago. Have plugged in my free 256GB SD card (thanks GN7)
Initial thoughts are.
- The black looks great and the device feels really well built.
- Glad they are going black cables and accessories
- Initially it looks a touch long but doesn't take long to feel normal.
- The S8 is grippier than the GN7. Not as grippy as my GN4.
- In relation to the black stripps. On the Black phone it is really difficult to notice so not an issue.
- The Samsung phone data transfer system is really slick.
- The curved edges are gentle and don't create issues.
- The screen is whiter and a lot brighter than the S7. Viewing angles are a lot better also as is the performance outside. My GN4 screen looks terrible in comparison
- The camera gas an 18.5:9 resolution (4032x1960). Personally i will be using 16:9.
- The camera performance is a massive step up on the S7 for inside pics. Haven't checked outside yet.
- Forgot to check the ram before installing apps. Currently it is using 1.6/4.0GB when cleared.
On the downside.
The fingerprint location isn't great. Would be better below the camera.
Have hit the bixby button a few times. Volume rocker keys could be a touch lower.
Will post more later once i have used and tested it but overall it is awesome so far.

It is unlocked and I swap sims whenever I travel out of country to my "roaming" sim. It doesn't reset when I do this. Is this a new thing or does this only apply the first time a sim is used?

Hands down the most beautiful phone i have ever seen. And that's saying much because i've never preferred the s line over say the note line. Excited for what the next note will be like.
