I went with the S8+ because I never used the SPen on any of my Notes (3, 4, and 5) so with Verizon giving the big trade value on the Note 5 toward the S8+, I couldn't say no.

But I bet you have to keep it for two full years is that accurate?Their special is you get the S8+ for $20/month instead of $35/month by trading in the note 5.

Note 5 will not be getting Android O. It got M and N. That's it. 2 cycle upgrades. Even Google only upgrades their nexues and Pixel phones with only 2 major cycle upgrades. You should feel lucky getting N.I'm keeping my note 5 until it stops getting newer op system updates. Nougat will put me off from upgrading but if we don't get "O" then bye bye 5.
Only because he is on unlimited plan. Important to point that out. That's BS from VZ. giving other customers the middle finger on trades if they don't have unlimited data plan.Their special is you get the S8+ for $20/month instead of $35/month by trading in the note 5.

These only two cycles for phones that run very well... reek! Google and phone makers want us to buy new phones every two years.
Ok... as long as Verizon continues the security updates.
The phones are getting expensive and the batteries don't make it two years, especially for heavy business users.
They got us hooked! This was the game plan all along.
You are absolutely right...that's their plan. Every 18-24 months.
1. They knew the average consumet likes buying new things to be relevant. So they market the hell out of us.
2. Most phones no longer have removable batteries. This was key!
One thing I learned... keep your last phone as a backup. Don't trade it in or sell on swappa unless you get a lot of money for it.
I recently had to push Verizon, with for over sixteen years to replace under factory extended warranty the degraded battery. Frankly, it was akin to getting your teeth pulled. Both Verizon and Samsung kept on deferring to each other and it was only when we had a three way conference call, that Samsung agreed... at no charge to me. And, because of all the hassle, Verizon sent me a loaner Note 5.

The fact that unlike Apple, Sammy has very few city repair centers for their phones. This stinks! Apple, you can make an appointment, get a new battery, repaired or a replacement phone. With Samsung, it's a hassle.
THIS last time, the battery replacement Finally worked, but it took time.
This is why I'm still on note 3 as it has replaceable batteries. On my 3rd, phone still works fine.Frankly, this is one of the benefits of Apple.
