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

That looks like an absolute nightmare to use 1-handed - as in practically impossible.

It's all good and well looking amazing, and if this is true then it probably will and sell bucket loads as a result, but this is terrible for usability and I really hope it doesn't set a trend.

My thoughts exactly. My S6 edge+ was awkward enough to hold, this looks like it would be nightmare indeed.
 
Indeed. Hopefully they'll grow out of this edge fad phase soon (and make their settings menu system mimic vanilla) and all would be good!
 
Edge isn't going anywhere, and only seems to get better and more useful with each iteration.

Bixby sounds promising. Integration with common hardware features like the camera and understanding natural language (something which Google hasn't quite perfected yet) could well be the major USP for the Galaxy S8. If it can adjust my Hue lights without me having to lift a finger, then I'll be quite impressed.

I fear the price will be astronomical because of all these things though, higher than the S7 edge fo sure, especially the 256GB model.
 
Don't mind the Edge screen, hopefully the introduction of "Bixby" doesn't mean the re-introduction of more Samsung bloat.

I found without a cover on my 7 edge I get a lot of accidental page openings etc where the screen detects me touching the very extreme edge while trying to simply hold the bugger. Spigen Neo hybrid has reduced this though.
 
Ouch. Hopefully LG will delay the G6 a bit. They can't afford a half arsed release this time and from yesterday's render it sure looks pretty...
 
From the leaks and rumours this all looks and sounds very impressive... But we all know how much of a let down these rumours can be. Hopefully there true and Samsung want to bring out an amazing flagship to make up for the note 7. Maybe this is the time to finally upgrade from my note 4.
