Upgrading from S7 to S8 dosen't worth it, Because they're both are same. (Not My opinion)
I'll switch to iPhone (But I guess I'll stick to Android)
You're right, iPhone 7 is actually downgrade. And So I've changed My mind now. I guess that I'll ho straight for the S10 now. Cuz I don't like the S9 that much, I like S8 more but upgrade I guess isn't worth it from S7 edge. I'll have to wait like 6-8 some months or maybe less to get the S10. So I think that will worth waiting.
How's You're experience with the S10? And which colour did You bought?
Anyways, Thanks To You Mate!!

My wife had an iPhone8 at the same time as I had the s8. She was very happy and it did everything that she wanted. To me her phone just looked dated next to mine. When I bought my s10 I also looked at the iPhone 11 but would not have been satisfied with the old LCD screen. Other than aesthetics I would place the s8 and iPhone8 as equals but to me the s7 is now getting a little old.

I've had used many iPhones, I had My First ever was iPod 4g. Then My Mom had the iPhone 6 on release which had alot of problems Charging problem battery problem one day it got heated up and then My Mom got Android. Me Myself also had iPhone 5, had no regards except Battery issue.
Well, I'm not 100% sure that I'll go for the iPhone though cuz I'm kinda Samsung Loyal Fan.
And Yeah, The only problem is right now I'm thinking weather to upgrade to S8 from My S7 edge or not.
Thank You!

Sent it in for replacement and the UPS guy didn't even have packaging with him. The phone came back with a dent on the top and the back completely scratched (jet black).
Went to an Apple store and they wanted to deny me any warranty because "You didn't buy it directly from the Apple store". In the end I got (probably a refurbished) one back from them and it had two spots with backlight bleed.
There is no quality in Apple products. I had three iPads and two iPhones, all of them had a defect out of the box (deep scratch, crooked cut inside the housing, crooked print, backlight bleed, screen popping out on one corner).
Bought three dirt cheap Xiaomi's and not a single defect...

I especially Love the S8 and S10 and Notes.
But, I don't know I want to give Apple another try see does it suits Me or not, Otherwise I'll be back on Android. Maybe.
Hmmm, I'm not sure right now Mate, iPhone 7 battery isn't that Great, But I think I'll get the iPhone 7 first then will see may upgrade to iPhone 8 and so on. What would You suggest?
Thank You!!

Hate to say this but the LCD for this phone costs $150+. I did not imagine it is of the same value buying a mid range phone from other brands. Any options/suggestions for this? Samsung Centers will charge you about $200 or so.

If you keep your phone for a long time, an iPhone would be a better choice for you.

I had an s8 which was excellent and now have an s10 which is incrementally better. My wife has an iPhone 11 and she is totally satisfied also so at the end of the day the decision rests with you.
