I'm having some doubts. Last night, I was looking at the specs for the S6 (which I use now) and the S8, and I wonder if it is really enough of an upgrade to merit buying this year. My S6's battery is suddenly dying fast, so I decided to jump anyway.
But, I've got to say that this is the first phone I've bought in years -- maybe ever -- that doesn't have *something* new that makes it really exciting. I've gone from the Fascinate>S3>S6 to S8, and each phone had some feature that I couldn't wait to try. (With the S6, for example, I was thrilled to get a fingerprint reader that works with LastPass and Samsung Pay.)
I haven't seen anything on the S8 that has me excited in the same way. (Certainly not "Bixby," when I already have Alexa, Google Assistant, and Siri in my life.) I'll give it a week or two, but if I'm not wowed, it's going back. It costs too much to be "just OK."
