Finally HDMI out is back.

Just watched a hands on video and the presenter was able to connect the s8 to a TV. Nice.

It is on samsung.com for $50.

Finally, was really disappointed when they removed that feature from the S5. The HDMI cable is better for gaming because it doesn't lag vs using wifi mirroring. Gaming would be very nice, as well as watching HD movies (if your TV is 4K HD).

Doesn't look like it'll charge the phone unfortunately.

I have the s5, and hates that I had to have some expensive cable to do this. If this phone can become an entire computer with a little dock, there is no reason a simple cable cant be used to connect it to a TV to show videos, presentations, whatever.

What do you mean expensive cable? The cable price depends on who is selling it. I'm sure third parties will have sub $20 cables soon.

Why do they only list the prepaid and Sprint S8s as compatible?

Hopefully any USB-C to HDMI cable will work.

Is there a way to charge phone while using the HDMI Cable?

I have an HDMI adapter that needs power to work. This type will charge your phone.
