So this isn't as good? Wonder if it'll still see the performance mentioned at the presentation...

Top cash back have 5% cash back too

Performance mentioned is based off Exynos

I've just preordered however, when you add the VRGear, it adds an extra £70 to the order? and offers a freeEngland Rugby pen??

AFAIK. The exynos 8890 chip is better than the snapdragon 820.

 

[kitkat2015]

Snapdragon are terrible for dac sound quality. Exynos all the way

AFAIK. The exynos 8890 chip is better than the snapdragon 820.

Single core performance is better on the 820 AFAIK.

The best chip with be the most efficient one IMO. As both have plenty of performance.

So who's found the best deals on this so far?

 

[kona786]

Is OIS still implemented?

 

[Mobius 1]

I should hope so for the price.

Could be one way they slimmed the camera down.

The s7 is 1.1mm thicker too unfortunately. Which is another factor for a smaller hump

Anyone upgrading from S6 to this? I am struggling too see where I would get much improvement for £500+.

Is that 10hour screen on time at 7% battery!?

Fair enough. That means it should still have OIS.

 

[mrk]

During the unveiling he did say you could watch an entire season of Game of Thrones on one charge. So I guess that means yes.

Upgrading year on year never makes financial sense.

 

[Mobius 1]

That's great. Coupled with doze, the battery life is sounding very impressive.

Do my eyes deceive me or is there a RAW option in those camera menus?

Yep. Added to a few phones.
