    Bezels no more - Infinity Display on the S8+

    Agreed, not a deal breaker. I would have been impressed by it's minimal bezel had I just seen the phone, but when it's marketed as being absent that expectation vs reality left me quite disappointed. I personally feel the only merit to a curved screen phone is that it's the only way we're...

    Bezels no more - Infinity Display on the S8+

    I saw a demo model today and while it is a very nice looking phone I have to say I was super disappointed by the side bezels. The marketing and official pictures would have you believe that the screen fully wraps around the front of the phone with only a top and bottom bezel to be seen, however...

    Where can I pre-order the Galaxy S8 off contract?

    It honestly blows my mind that for all the money you pay for this phone outright (over $1000 in Canada) you can't get an unlocked, non network specific handset

    Is price deterring you from purchase?

    Oh yeah. I've been buying Samsung since the e700 colour flip phone. Then the D600 Slider, to the Omnia HD, then galaxy series phones. I'm using s OnePlus now because I can't justify the raising prices of the main flagship phones. If a small Chinese start up can put out a flagship for such a...

    Are there any deal breakers for you?

    The price might be a deal breaker for me. As much as I want it, I don't think I can justify over $1000 for a phone. I have high hopes for OnePlus this year

    Official: Galaxy S8 / S8+ Pre-Order Thread

    Re: Official: Galaxy S8+ Pre-order thread When you placed your pre-order direct through Samsung Canada did it say anything about what network or is it an unlocked handset?

    S8 vs S8+ Battery Life

    The S8+ outperforms the S8. It gets 2 hours extra video time, 4 hours more talk time, 11 hours more music playback and approx 2 hours more internet usage. I haven't seen any stats for standby time yet, but if it wins in screen on situations it would have to be much better

    Galaxy S8 v. Galaxy S7 Camera test

    Is it just me, or did it look like a wider shot on the S7?

    Unlocked S8

    If you pre-order through Samsung will they be unlocked phones? Will they be sent later? There is no mention of network specific handsets on their site..

    Notification lights

    Wouldn't happen to correlate with the start of the pixel giveaway by chance? :p I never understand why so many sites would entice people to spam forums for additional entries. Thankfully android central at least had the commonsense to say this could result in disqualification . If that's your...

    Hey Ptaswath, you should try searching before posting a new thread. You could probably find an answer to your question here http://forums.androidcentral.com/google-pixel-pixel-xl/736348-ac-editors-have-pixel-pixel-xl-ask-us-about-them.html#post5501931

    Is waterproofing really that important to you?

    I've never had a phone that was waterproof, but given the choice between one with and one without.. The pixel isn't cheap, I would have chosen the note 7 over it. Guess I'll have to wait for the Galaxy S (deton)8

    IP53 rating a bit dissapointing

    As someone who enjoys singing in the shower, the ability to search lyrics in there is a major selling point for me.
