Any regrets after purchasing the S8 or S8+?

[James Falconer]

Wondering out loud here...For all S8 and S8+ owners in the room... Do you have any regrets now - after several months in - having purchased the phone? Do you still love it, or wish you had held off for another phone (Note 8? G6?).

Sound off!!

Love it

I like the 8+. I also have a Note 5 and use both

Only regret is that it never came with dual cameras and I maybe should have waited for the Note 8 for that reason alone. I must still like it though as I traded my s8 Plus for the excellent LG G6 but came back a few months later with the regular s8.

I dont regret the S8 at all, but I do regret not knowing how bad Bluetooth range was before buying it. Had I known that I may have stuck with my G6 and waited for the Note 8 or V30. Although with those devices going Bluetooth 5 as well, they may be just as bad.

I'm lovin' it. All the way.

 

[Cobravision]

No regrets, but this is not definitively better than the S7 Edge.

 

[jacker]

No regrets whatsoever.

Best Android phone I've owned so far.

None at the moment... Okay maybe one ...

I do really miss the wide angle lens from the LG G6. It was very fun to play around and use -- other then that I don't have any complaints. The S8+ is solid.

US unlocked S8... No regrets. I even find the Fingerprint unlock easy to use! Haven't enjoyed a phone this much since the Note 4.

My S8+ is the only Android phone that has kept me away from my iPhone for over 2 months now with no desire to go back.

I haven't had my S8 very long but definitely no regrets yet. Still very happy with it.
I'm not the biggest fan of Samsung's additions to Android (as I prefer a more stripped down version) but I'm getting use to it.

How do you like your regular S8 compared to your plus. You must have chosen the regular S8 for a reason this time around. Just curious bc I have the regular S8.

No regrets except for the random freeze that I face once a week. Love the themes, fonts etc that I can customize without having to root or install a custom rom like I did on my Nexus device.

Fabulous screen as well.

Only additional thing I would like is the wide angle lens from LG and dual speakers like that on my Nexus 6

I normally go for larger phones so automatically chose the s8 Plus when they 1st came out. Bigger screen and bigger battery sound like a no brainer right? The s8 Plus didn't feel TOO big and with the new screen ratio it fitted in pockets just fine BUT it just felt a little awkward at times trying to reach things on the other side of the screen (One Handed Mode did help) and the finger print sensor was an absolute pain. A friend of mine had the regular s8 and as soon as I held it I wish I'd got that instead. It still had a big screen, great battery and was much easier to handle. I'm definitely glad I got the smaller s8 this time for those reasons and it just feels the right size without any compromises

I love my 8+, but I do wish I would have waited for the note 8 because that's what I really wanted( the Samsung rep told me they weren't doing another note) . I still ended up with a great phone though.

One regret: Would have paid +$100 for S pen.

Bluetooth 5 is supposed to increase the range.
