Switching from G6 to S8+...

[mchi5]

Well I was pretty active here with the G6, especially when Zerolemon came out with their extended battery pack. But I eventually got bored with the G6, and mainly wanted a bigger screen,faster processer, and larger internal storage

Was so close to preordering the Note 8, but $950 on AT&T is a bit hard to swallow, considering my G6 is still on the Monthly program (over 2 yrs G6 will cost me only $360, why I'm not selling it yet)

Anyways with the Note 8 being released, alot of good deals on eBay on the S8. Bought a mint S8+ for $541 shipped, which is a great deal. Seller assured me no scratches on screen and comes with a Spigen case

Since I'm keeping the G6 it'll let me compare the two phones. I'll report back.

I should get the S8+ next Monday. Already ordered a glass screen protector, battery case and normal case from Amazon.

Just be real careful with who you buy phones thru on eBay, especially newer flagships

Why's that? It's not a retail reseller it's a single guy with 200+ positive reviews. Also paid thru PayPal so I'm protected thru them and eBay

Yeah sorry man. But I never hold onto phones very long. At least I will have both, just G6 will be a backup

And gotta admit $541 for a S8+ is a good deal

Haha. That's pretty funny. Most S8+ are going for $550-650 on eBay. Prob Bec Note 8 just came out.

I bought a phone once on ebay, listed as new mint. Got the phone itbwas covered in scratches. Checked the imei with AT&T, the phone was first activated on launch day. This was months after the launch, be very careful. This was a seller that has an amazing seller score with 20,000 plus positive. The last and only phone bought on ebay.

Thanks for the heads up. I hope I don't have the same experience. I'll update once I get it

That's good. There are some on there that aren't reputable. That one sounds good.

Next time try swappa.. Heard good things about them

I use swappa, never had an issue buying or selling on their.

 

[Jeremiah Bonds]

Swappa is legit. I sold my wife's G5 there for a pretty penny within 3 days of posting it.

Yeah he has answered all my questions. And assured me only one tiny scratch on the rear lower corner. Screen is supposedly immaculate. The back scratch I don't care since I always use a case. Heck my LG G6 has 3-4 scratches on it's back and barely been out of a case...

I looked at swappa, but don't have an account. And I've used eBay alot. It's my 2nd go to behind Amazon.

 

[dashauns]

Ive had both an s8 and g6 and because of the price difference and my own personal bias against curved displays, I usually prefer the g6. The s8 does feel faster but the wide angle camera on the g6 gives you more shooting options, the hd audio recording app is amazing, and it feels a bit more sturdy and and the flat screen is better protected than the exposed edge screens on the s8 series phones.

Hope you enjoy your S8+! It's a great device! Please let us know how you like it! And Happy Phone Week!

Its easy to sign up with them. You just need paypal

I hope you hate S8+ and come back to G6.. Brolove mchi

Lol. Technically I will have both phones. It may be like choosing your favorite kid. Not possible?

@Morty2264,

I'll definitely report back once I get it. Getting pretty excited. My cases and screen protector will come way before my phone.

I'm already figuring out how to disable the bloatware and that stupid Bixby button
