New leaked photos FINAL THOUGHTS?

[scgf]

Too tall and narrow for me. I really don't like the screen ratio. I remember when I first got an iPhone 5 and it felt like I was peering out of a letterbox. That's when I moved to Android. Then there's the price!! I currently have a Samsung GS7 and have just pre-ordered a Huawei P10. Really looking forward to taking some B&W pics with the dedicated monochrome sensor.

Black S8 looks good

This time it's actually BLACK! For the longest time, it has always been a blueish black color, with some type of weird texture design. I really like that they made it true black, always looked better that way (black iPhones looked nice, though I dislike using iPhones). It also hides the sensors very well, in fact you can't see it at all! Kinda looks like the black iPhone 7 (ironically these photos were taken from an iPhone). Hope they keep it this way from now on. Just wish they came out with a flat screen version of the S8.

I always preferred black phones but I agree in this case it looks even better

Re: Black S8 looks good

I love the black, but it's going to be a fingerprint magnet. A case will be necessary.

You dont want a taller phone. But you want a bigger battery for longer battery life.
Exactly how would you think that is possible ?

That's why they make skins

Um that's kinda simple. A thicker phone would obviously have space for a bigger battery. That's what people on tech blogs and forums say a lot. Just make the phone thicker. You don't ever hear, make the phone taller so I can get a bigger battery lol.

Also people would complain if it's too thick.. it's a no win situation .

 

[cardboard60]

Hmmmmm

TV got thinner, speakers got smaller.
They ain't gonna make phone thicker.
Won't happen.

Yeah, but cardboard was acting like taller phones is how you make batteries bigger. Until now, phones haven't been made taller just to fit a bigger battery. That really made no sense.

Also, you hear a lot of people on the forums and such saying add a mm and get a bigger battery in the phone. Yeah if you make it too thick people will complain, but adding a mm probably wouldn't cause an uproar. What will probably happen is this year will not have the greatest battery life and then next year they'll make the battery bigger. That's what they did with the S6 and S7.

 

[cardboard60]

Nobody knows what the S8 will be like.. The phone hasn't been released.
But look at the size of the S7 last year. How big the battery was.
Then look at the S7E and the note 7.
And how much bigger the battery was.
I liked the note 7.
Would of been better if it had a flat screen oh.

S6 dimensions 143.4 x 70.5 x 6.8 mm
S7 dimensions 142.4 X 69.6 X 7.9 mm
S7 edge dimensions 150.9 x 72.6 x 7.7 mm
S7 active dimensions 148.8 x 75.0 x 9.9 mm

Battery in the S6 was 2550mah, the one in the S7 was 3000mah, S7 edge 3600mah, S7 active 4000mah. And yes the S7 edge was taller and had a bigger battery but the device was bigger because of the screen. S7 active has the biggest battery of them all and look at how thick it is. They didn't say hey let's make the device taller for a bigger battery. And you're right, no one knows what the battery life will be like, but I doubt it will be spectacular and it definitely won't be better than if it had say a 4000 mah battery. I mean I think it be comparable to the S7, but I don't think it'll be way better. I'll be buying it anyway, but I just have a feeling next year they'll have battery life as their reason to upgrade. I loved my S6 edge but couldn't wait to upgrade because the battery life sucked.

im all in for this one, my money is waiting, just release the thing already.

 

[cardboard60]

How many St7 actives did they sell compared to the S7 and S7E ?

I remember now my audiologists said she got a S7 active and was complaining about the battery life.



You need to complain to Samsung like I did.
The people making the phone don't care evidently.

Just like me complaining about not being able to remove apps like Samsung Pay.
And I don't like the curved screen

Samsung don't care.

 

[cardboard60]

Bet the battery was smaller in the edge cause of the curved screen.
The note 7 had the stylUS, so space for a larger battery was lost there.

Ya, an all glass phone, better to have casing whether it's fingerprint magnet or not

I don't think so. Because if you compare The S6 and S6 edge, the battery was bigger in the edge version even though they were about the same size. The curved screen allowed them to fit an extra 50mah. I agree about the Note 7, the pen is what did that to it.

It looks magnificent. And what hides inside makes it brilliant.. awesome phone..

 

[rogers3712]

Honestly, I preferred the look of the Note 7. This is cool and all, I'm impressed that they can do bezeless displays, but I'm unsure about the look of it and concerned about how practical it will be when it comes to handling my phone.
