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

I cant get my finger on the home button whilst holding it one handed. I can get my thumb but not a finger. I tried but I dropped it.

I'll buy it as I upgrade on even numbers.

Always love the look of Samsung phones. Just a shame it's not stock Android .

 

[Scottland]

They've still got the ******* nav buttons the wrong way around!

 

[Rimsy]

And the icons they've decided to use for those nav buttons look bloody awful. Why oh why do Samsung insist on ruining incredible hardware with their horrible designs!!!

Is that picture holding the phone above fake? It's looks odd to me like the lighting on the phone doesn't match the rest of the pic

It's the one thing I despise about Samsung Android devices!

Now that it isn't hardware limited I would hope...hope...that they allow you to customise their on screen navigation keys and flip them.

You would think so...

 

[jrodga2k5]

You would think so...

Yet probably not!

 

[Cleisthenes]

I'm not sure that they will offer that customisation, you know what Samsung are like!

Ahh OK!

Size difference

 

[Cleisthenes]

I hope I don't find it too big coming from a Z3c

 

[kona786]

There's no way the 5.8" is going to be the same physical size as the S7 5.1", as previously rumoured. TALLER FOR SURE.

Below is the G6 5.7" with slim bezels compared to G5 5.3". The G5 is already bigger than the S7 5.1".

Speaking from experience previously of coming off the compact to the S6 it was fine but I think with this S8 it's going to be the extra width rather than the height that you'll find the biggest difference between the two of getting used to.

Like most things over time it will become second nature so nothing to worry about.
