Well the update managed to create my first issue with the S8. Since the update I've connected my Wireless Beats to the phone and the sound is very very faint even at full volume.
Plug a normal set of headphones in and it works fine...All working well before the update as well!
*EDIT* Turns out audio sync went to OFF after the update, all done again

It's a good thing that the S leads the way, it means the Note inevitably ends up being the best (android) phone for the year (general consensus, not universal truth).Unfortunately since note7 it's now the S series that are ahead and notes are simply following.
Hope the s8 will serve me as well as the note did and if not will flog it towards end if year and see what the competition has to offer.
Bad news:
Because I didn't pre-order, my order won't ship until the 28th :/ :/
Good news:
I have the keyboard cover, official clear (dark) case, and the new convertible wireless charger on the way
Get a Dex and I'll consider you all in mrk
0.8mm and when it's on it feels very minimal. Adds no bulk effectively and doesn't detract from the look more importantly.
If you have a black S8 be sure to order the Dark version of the case.
Is the dark version the one in post #2353 or not?
I've got the Orchid Grey one, so I'm not sure how well it will go with the Black one. Not sure about the violet and silver ones. Might order them all when they're in stock to see which suits better.
I have no use for one but I'll ask to be sent one for reviewGet a Dex and I'll consider you all in mrk
Yup it sure is as it's colour is Black
Should have been more specific instead of saying dark

Having a look at those pics the violet one seems to be the right one for Orchid Grey but you could always order both like you say.

Ha cool! Will see if I can justify it along with the VRS design one I've already got and the Noreve pouch I've got on order lol
Might wait for the prices to drop in a few months and use these two for now
It's this case rubbery or hard plastic?
Noticed a slight annoyance if you can call it that.
I've got the always on display on and facial recognition on.
Let's say i get an email, i get the little mail icon on the on display screen. So i press the home button to view the notification/lock screen but boom, facial recognition kicks in and I'm on the home screen where i now need to swipe down to see the notification.
1st work problems i know

It is, but I wanted a bit more. It's not really that much brighter than my Note 4, especially when I put the Note 4 on "auto" as it goes extra bright in sunshine (more than you can set manually). For sure the S8+ being waterproof and usable in the rain is a big advantage.
I also had the Samsung clear case, nice thin fit, doesn't add any bulk.
Also just one thing before I forget, when you look at the S8+ in different angles the screen colour changes, can be a blue or red tint. Straight on it's fine, colour as expected.

Yeah I've noticed this with facial recognition, it's pretty quick.
Also, if you didn't know you can double tap the icon to open up the relavent app (Gmail etc)
