Straight up sexy... Bring me a black one now!!!! I do wish we could find out about the DAC on the Snapdragon. Sound is important to me...

Re: Samsung Galaxy S8+ Specs

The S8 variants look good , I probably would not have minded a 6 GB of ram option though .

Re: Samsung Galaxy S8 Specs

Re: Samsung Galaxy S8+ Specs

Did they say anything about the secure folder that the Note 7 had. Also does it have stereo speakers?

Re: Samsung Galaxy S8 Specs

I noticed speakers aren't mentioned. Does that mean the s8 will have the same crappy speaker as the s7?

Any Samsung phone running Android 7.0 can download and use the Secure Folder. I sure am looking forward to upgrading to this phone though, gonna be a nice upgrade of my Note 5. Now I just need to decide what color I am going to go with.

Obviously it has killer specs! But would it make any difference using 6 gb of ram instead of 4 gb??

Re: Samsung Galaxy S8 Specs

also curious about the speaker(s) the ONLY thing that makes envious of the iphone is their speakers, and how deep and dare I say bassy the sound is compared to our weak speaker.........

Re: Samsung Galaxy S8+ Specs

Looks very impressive....would love to see how the exynos processor performs.

Re: Samsung Galaxy S8 Specs

Sounds like a winner, for sure! Can't wait to hold it in the store and see if my tiny hands can sustain it! LOOL.

Re: Samsung Galaxy S8 Specs

Anyone else a bit disappointed with the battery sizes, especially considering the large bright samsung screens?
However it may be understandable considering the issues with the Note 7 and trying to cram in too much battery

True - maybe they're being a bit more cautious this time 'round.

Re: Samsung Galaxy S8 Specs

Eh... I think they still refused to comprise dimensions and keep phone as thin as possible.

S8 is same size basically as the S7 Edge with 3600mah battery but they removed the home button, guessing added the haptic feedback hardware, and move the FPS to the rear. They couldn't even fit the button below the camera :/

waiting on the full reviews with battery test and tear down video to answer the question.

How much of the 64GB internal memory is available out of the box, at least in the unlocked versions?

That's smart of you to wait until the full review/battery tests! Having as much information as possible before making a purchase is always the smartest route!
