Have you guys noticed any screen flicker? mine is flickering now and again, it's done it 3 times today...

 

[Kuldip Bhele]

Finally got tracking from my tracking info from Samsung. UKMail will be delivering tomorrow!

 

[dayloon]

What screen protectors do people recommend ?

 

[azibux1]

I went for the Pouch one in the end and used the discount code . Should be delivered within a few days.

Same here! Went for textured and stitched leather in black with dark blue lining got that vrs design leather look case to tide me over in the meantime

the screen has a red gradient tint

Oh right you've got that issue...hmm

AKG headphones, not made by AKG, lol.

This is a non story I'm afraid. Samsung brought Harman last year. So all akg buds are technically Samsung http://www.techradar.com/news/samsu...at-itll-mean-for-your-next-car-phone-and-more

My preorder with chitterchatter got delayed until the 29th. My iPhone is getting picked up today leaving me without a phone (I have an old one but the SIM card won't fit).

Do Samsung actually have stock of this now? If I order with them instead will I still be waiting until the 28th?

Most places are now doing 28th release. If your going for sim free try handtec

I can't see it on their website. I presume they have taken it off now that it's off preorder and will add it again on the 28th.

I kind of suspect that Samsung will still ship out orders they get now before the 28th, if they have stock. Working in supply chains tells me that they're not going to want stock and staff sitting idle in their warehouses just so preorder people can feel a bit more exclusive for a couple more days!

Mine is arriving from samsung today at 11:45 to 12:45. I am just worried about this red tint? i thought it just needs to be re calibrated?

There'll be a software update to fix any affected phones according to an article I just read on cnet. No mention of a date for it.

 

[Carl_Bennetts]

Picked up my S8+ yesterday from CPW. It's a awesome bit of kit. No faults so far.

Full charge last night....lets see how long I get out of it today.

 

[PhoenixUK]

Looks like the Bixby remap apps are still working. I've just set mine to open the camera.

Doesnt camera already open with double tap on power button though?
