Once Samsung launches the S8, will it (in your opinion) be the best android phone available? The S7 was rock solid (at least in my opinion)... do you think Sammy will build on that or do you have concerns about their next-gen phones?

Absolutely, 100% without a doubt. Other phones won't even come close to the S8/S8+. It'll have SD 835, IP68 rating, very little bezels, microSD slot, and a rear fingerprint sensor.
The only concern I have is battery life. Those huge screens with a smaller battery causes me to worry.
I wish I were as confident as you. Battery life is a concern I share, but also worried about security, updates, the glass body, low storage option and missing critical Nougat features. I'm really hoping they nail the camera this year (they've been great for many years, but are being challenged) and that they start taking security seriously. I'm expecting it to launch as one of the top 5 devices available, but not sure I could justify it's compromises without a serious benefit, which right now doesn't seem like there is one. So I'm hopeful, but couching my expectations.
Last year Samsung started off REALLY strong on security updates, even though they didn't have all of Marshmallow's features at launch, they were doing way better than normal. They also have Knox, which does help a bit, but it's not really the same thing as what Google and Apple are able to offer.
Thats a good question. Hmm, with the brand new design, cutting edge processor and bezel-less display. Its definitely got a lot going for it and i think its going to be really hard to beat. I'm really excited for the launch. I think Samsung have a winning device. Just need to ensure all goes smoothly for the first couple weeks
The only other rivals would be the iPhone 7s and Google Pixel 2. The Sony XZ Premium does have the same specs, but it's aimed at the really high end 'elite' group of people who need 4K displays haha. Samsung is much more consumers originated (in my opinion)
BlackBerry Android phones crap on all others security and privacy wise.
Please acknowledge them FFS.
The Note7 had HDR. So, I would assume the S8 will as well. It makes no sense to take a step backwards. When the Note7 was released, it had the highest rated display out there.I'm curios if the S8 will have a 4K screen or HDR like the new LG or the new Sony. HDR is huge in the TV world, not so sure if its needed on a tiny screen like a phone, but I'm all for a better and wider color gamut.
