In-Store demos?

[LonestarROB]

Anyone seen any in-store demo units of the S8 Active? If so which stores?

Thanks

They got some at the two AT&T stores near me in michigan and best buy.

There was one at the AT&T store when I bought mine on release day. I wanted to feel it in my hands prior to buying. I bought the first one sold at the store.

My AT&T had both colors on demo but only the grey one was working. Came away with mixed feelings. Love the look of the front and edges but really didn't care for the back at all. Expected more of a rubber-ish and rugged feel. It's very slippery and not nearly as bulky as I thought it would be. Other than that, seemed like a great phone from the few minutes I got to spend with it.

Saw it at Best Buy on Saturday, the 12th.

Really... ? I'll have to stop by and take a look when I get a chance... I was going to wait for the Note 8 and just compare the two but maybe I should check out the S8 alone first!

Yea, it's by no means a bad phone. It's a great phone, and the one I will probably get( about a 75% chance right now). I was just disappointed with how the back feels. Felt kinda cheap to be honest. If I can hold out long enough, I want to see the V30 and Pixel XL 2.
