Loved my Note 5 but found I was close to the brim re storage very quickly!
Didn't need then and don't need now the S Pen, so the Note 5 was wasted on me in that sense as would the Note 8
S8+ gives me that uber large screen I like as well as a slick build. Usually I'm a Vanilla Android handset person (Nexus 6 then 6P), but do not like the Pixel XLs build/design, so the S8+, for me, is about as good as it gets
Having been through all sorts of phones recently (first S8+, then a Note 4, then a OP3T and then onto an iPhone 7 Plus); it's lovely to be back with the S8+ and more so that I've found the iBlason Rugged case with a built in screen protector that works faultlessly and looks great to boot!
I only sold my first S8+ due to the fact that no screen protector worked with it well at all and that's something I really dislike about the Edge style screens!
