What do S7 Edge owners think of the S8/S8+?

[mysamsungs7e]

If you're S7 edge is working great is it worth upgrading?

 

[Aquila]

Nope. Not unless you really need Bixby.

 

[bandofbrothers2112]

Some will want the newest and greatest.

The s8 certainly has some impressive new features and spec bumps.

Personally I'll probably keep using my s7 edge and await to see what the Note 8 look like and performs.

The s8+ looks like a great phone but for the time being I will be holding onto my s7e

I have been very pleased with the performance of Nougat on my s7e and don't see a pressing need or want to upgrade at this time

I am eligible for an upgrade now so I know VZ would gladly like me to get a new s8+ from them so they can get their hooks into me for another couple of years but I am going to wait and see how the Pixel II turns out and if it improves on the shortcomings of the first Pixel I will dump VZ and use the Pixel II on Project Fi

If the Pixel II is not to my liking I will just get a s8+ or Note 8 later in the year and stick with VZ

It looks nice but I'm still holding out for the next note

That 8 plus looks awesome, but I haven't had my 7 edge a year and I'm trying to wait on the next note. It's going to be a hard journey. Lol

Agree. I'm also concerned with a rather small battery in the S8 and want to let the beta testers have it for awhile.

Not worth it to me. T-Mobile wants $130 down for the S8Plus. I paid half that down on Note 7 and nothing down S7Edge

 

[osubass1]

i've had my S7 edge since release last year.

its performance has degraded quite a bit recently. i've done several things to attempt to resolve the issues, but now it's at the point where it randomly reboots during use.

right now, i can't even install the latest security update that just came out from AT&T.

it's time for something new. the S8 is definitely it for me.


UPDATE: preorder has been placed.

I would imagine you will be getting the Note 8 like myself. I guess I could be wrong though, about you getting the Note 8 that is

 

[Josiah23]

It's very hard not to try and get the S8+ in Blue!!

I'll try to stand my ground for a little!

Might wait for the Note 8

I definitely plan on it but it does depend on how it looks. I sure hope they don't try to make it narrower

I would imagine it might be a little wider, but that's just my imagination☺ It will be a little more refined than the S8+. We shall see my friend

Rarely is do the differences from one generation to the next (S7 to S8, G3 to G4, etc) make it worth the cost of an upgrade, unless there's some capability you really need. Two generations (S5 to S7, S6 to S8, G4 to G6) is, I think, the minimum to get any real benefit.

 

[amyf27]

I've talked to T-Mobile online on the phone and three different local stores and have heard about 5 different stories as to what down payment it's cetera and pre-ordering or not with jump on demand

 

[shaleem]

Waiting for the Note.

 

[thunderbomb]

I wish they had one with a flat screen.

 

[amyf27]

I want to see more up close photos. Is the s8/plus "less curvy" on the sides than 7edge?

 

[pontiac005]

I'm waiting for the Note as well.

 

[tuscanybay]

Too big, too curvey, hate having the fingerprint reader on the back. I am more interested in buying the refurbished Note 7.
