**** The Official Samsung Galaxy S8/S8+ Thread ****

I noticed dbrand have the dragon skin on offer for 1 day only, so ordered it last night. Said to be the best feeling skin and adds a lot of grip.
 
Yeah wasn't keen on the look of that, at least not against the Orchid grey. On black it would be better.


The blue honeycomb works quite well I think :)

Good lord!

That is crazy

i'm paying £15 per month for 30gb data and unlimited everything else on a sim only deal from Three and £26 per month for the phone on a 0% intrest CC card.

Also bought an S8+.

Nice.

I ended up going for £275 upfront, £26 monthly - works out to be effectively £37ish a month.

Unlimited calls/texts and 5GB data for the standard S8.

£35 is steep for a case going on a £700+ RRP phone? Really?

My friend is out in Thailand at the moment and will be in Malaysia or Singapore on official launch date. Two chaps in other office have got the UK spec S8+ and both have red tints of varying degrees on their screens. I'm still umming and arring about picking one up as if I get one (and more than likely it will be from abroad) it would be a pain to return it pending any issues.

IMHO they should be providing you one for free (like you said) it's a £700+ phone ;)

But hey ho, we'll pay it, so they'll charge it...

Samsung are planning a software fix for the 'red-tint' fault, or you can do it yourself with a manual calibration apparently: http://money.cnn.com/2017/04/25/technology/samsung-s8-display-red-tint/

Where did you find that, would you mind linking me please? My Googling skills aren't what they used to be... Haha

Edit: We might be talking about different cases mate, I meant the Clear-View standing one that's selling on the rainforest for £35.

Yup you are correct, we're talking about a different case altogether :)
 
I gave up on note series after 7 got released, not because of the battery fiasco but because specs were same as s7 which was released £150 cheaper and 6 months earlier... it used to be the note that was the top device on the market and everything else was catching up 6-12 months later. Now unless you abuse the pen all the time then it's disappointing.
 
Ugggghh just had the most sickly call leaving 3.

So sickly they were humbly thanking me. I will always be part of their family and such other guff.

I will always be close to their hearts. I will have a fabulous and blessed future endeavours.

Dual cameras and a decent fingerprint sensor will make a huge difference for me if it happens. SoC improvements don't really mean much to me anymore.

I didn't think they offered anything over the 4 since really. IR Blaster, SD slot, removable batteries, was just awesome.
 
How are people finding the S8 fingerprint sensor. The location is really putting me off, but I haven't had chance to hold one properly with all the security things attached instore
