No issues here, in fact phone runs smoother! But the first thing I did after getting Oreo was a factory reset. Most likely if yours is locking up or acting stupid it is because of an app that had issues with the upgrade to Oreo.

I am 6'0 185lbs and wear a 32 inch waist jean. I dont like baggy jeans, all of my jeans are slim fit and/or boot cut. S8+ fits into the pockets with ease.

No, waste of money. My S8+ is working just fine.

S8 Plus here. No case, first time ever. I had been using cases but with the rounded corners and screen protectors it just got old. Tired of making my nice slim phone feel thick and bulky. Slim protectors are decent. So for about 2 months now I've gone with just a skin on the back and a screen...

I love the hardware and understand that if something is wrong its best to wait on updates. With that said being so far behind on updates really sux. I might consider a Pixel next gen if they fix some of the issues with its hardware.

Nova allows me to: Hide nav bar and notification bar Hide app icon labels Until touchwiz can do those things I cannot use it.

Stopped using cases. I've moved to just slapping a vinyl skin on the back.

I suggest using a better launcher than Touchwiz anyways. Microsoft Launcher is amazing. I was using it until I got a deal for Nova Launcher Prime for 99 cents. Nova Launcher prime is the best.

I super glued mine this weekend. So far its working great.

Anyone else besides me have a broken sim card tray? Mine broke on the right side where the plastic is so thin and cheap. I can still get the tray to go in if I am really slow and careful. I am going to try and superglue it back together.

Bixby - dont use it but I love Google Now Samsung Pay - invaluable, use it all the time As for TouchWiz and bloat? Nah not so much. Once I configured my phone the way I like it the thing is lightning fast with no lag. Pixel 2, no thanks. Worse screen, no headphone jack, no samsung pay, no...

I had been using SwiftKey. Based on comments in this thread I am trying out GBoard. So far it blows SwiftKey out of the water!!!!
