Galaxy S8

[CyberB0b]

Anyone going to pick one up? My Nexus 6 died a slow death. I tried the Pixel XL and LG G6 and have returned them both. Hoping this one doesn't disappoint.

I think I will upgrade my Note 4 to an S8 or S8+.

Lol I still have the note 4 too. I hate that all these new phones have Intergrated batteries!
Might wait and check out the note 8 this fall.

Yes that is an area that bothers me.
However I do know that if they had not put in an SD card option I would pass.

Ya an SD card is a must. Guess I have no choice seems all phones have integrated batteries anymore. That's why I got the 4 instead of the 5 though.

There is still one I think. LG V20.

Didn't realize the S8 comes in a big screen version. I going to have to go check these out.

Bloatware excuse is over rated.

Download and install package disabler Pro from the play store and you can disable all the bloatware you want from the phone without having to root it .

My Note 2 went out right before the Note 7 came out. I bought a cheapy until the Note 7 came out. They started exploding before I got it. Still using the cheapy, LOL. Waiting on the Note 8.

Switching to google pixel now? Thought they were the only ones using pure android now?

@CyberB0b...I will likely be upgrading to the Galaxy S8 from my S6.

Thats what I have on order.

Theres others that do too, like the Moto Z, but they dont work on sprint so...

From what I've seen,it's minimal now.

 

[65fastback2plus2]

anyone concerned about the s8's aspect ratio?

Right now I'm using the LG G6 with the same aspect ratio and don't have any issues.

I'm still on an s4 and it is getting pretty damn slow

I'm still on an s4 and it is getting pretty damn slow

I use my S3 a jailbreak device to get music and as an mp3 player for mowing.
Someone at work still uses their S3 for calls, emails and texts...he says his does not lag at all. But again he only uses it for those 3 things.

My Note 4 still runs very good. The screen is just scratched up.

Which seems odd because you could not scratch up the S3 screen...but the note got scratches from the first day I got it.

Ok...I am rambling now.
