Isn't the Plus the Note replacement? Since the Note name is tarnished.

I don't see an S-Pen, so I don't know.

Nah, they'll be Note 8 come fall

 

[The Cowboy]

I have no idea what colour I want.

Leaning towards the all black one at the moment though.

I wanted the white one, but the sensors at the top look horrible on anything other than black (as you can't see them).

 

[CryptiK]

What about the pen then?

I dunno. But releasing a Plus version at the Note screen size tells me its dead.

 

[ZOONAMI]

Nah, they'll be Note 8 come fall

They definitely won't call it a note though.

I suppose they Gould call it Galaxy N8, would make more since than spelling out note honestly.

 

[Jazzy Network]

The new gray looks meh in pictures. The blue still looks nice.

 

[thenight11]

As someone who is holding a s8 plus as I type the curves are pretty much a non factor. S7 edge vs s8 is major diffrence in hand.

 

[Days like these...]

So all they did was copy LG's screen ratio?

 

[wolfwolfwolf]

The Verge have a video up already taking a look at the S8 and S8+.

 

[Vanillalite]

The new gray looks meh in pictures. The blue still looks nice.

I'm in for the Coral Blue

Just gotta see who's gonna give me the best hand job in terms of preorder bonus.

 

[enzo_gt]

Damn I thought he was about to announce an integrated 1Pass solution or something.

Slick presentation thus far though.

Note is coming.


Fall 2017.

 

[WolfForager]

I don't think there is one with a white front? Think they were all skins.

All colour options have a black front, which I don't like because of the two tone finish (if you don't go for the all black option).

Nah, there'll be a new Note this fall - until the 7 they were Samsung's best-selling phones if memory serves correct.

 

[unrealist]

Wouldn't black complement the infinity display most?

 

[WhiskerFrisker]

"Options." A word some on gaming side can't comprehend.

 

[Vanillalite]

Dex dock is cool, but I worry you're just gonna wear out your battery faster. :/

 

[kiguel182]

All your biometric data! Give it to us!

They really should address where that data is stored but I guess we know they'll have it.

If this was all stored on your device it would be good but I doubt it.

It would probably be T-Mobile.

 

[Diprosalic]

What's the use case of dual bluetooth streaming? I mean it's neat but i have no idea why i should ever use it.

 

[NH Apache]

The idea that the home button is both hardware and software reminds me of the Blackberry Storm.

 

[Paznos]

Well after a year the battery retains 95% of it's capacity compared to 80% with the S7.

Target already leaked they are giving the free Gear VR and $100 gift card. So they are the current leader in the clubhouse.

 

[unrealist]

I don't know if it's just me, but it looks like the S7 Edge with less bezels and improve suite of software (based on the presentation thus far).

 

[The Faceless Master]

Of course they will call it the Note 8.

If you pay zero down, that's starting at around $31 per month for 24 months.

 

[kiguel182]

One of the things I appreciate Apple doing is telling you that their data collection anonymous or that the info is stored on your phone and they don't have access to that. Assuming it's true at least.

Samsung and Google have a much less trustworthy side to them. And I say this as someone who uses Google Drive and Gmail.

I like Apples approach better on this fields for sure.

 

[Masterspeed]

My contract ends next month for my Galaxy S5 so I guess I'll move onto the S8. This phone is starting to sound like my dream phone.

 

[Ensirius]

So much of the information we see everyday is visual

Aight

 

[Vanillalite]

Bixby boring as fuck.

Move along plz.

Sounds good to me.

Phone price drops faster than most high end electronics. If you hold out 3 months you should be able to find one close to half price. And the back-to-school deals will be about that time as well.

Hope Sams Club has insane preorder deals like they did last time.

 

[enzo_gt]

Just what I've always wanted, to get ads for local restaurants when I'm trying to take a photo.

Spoiler

Yes, I realize you have to activate Bixby first

Also Bixby logo looks like that of a local community centre or something.

 

[CS_Dan]

"Find it with one of our partners"

aaaand I'm out.

 

[NH Apache]

Samsung should have just stuck with Google Assistant.

Why re-invent the wheel? So dumb.

 

[Vanillalite]

Hurry up nobody cares about Bixby except for your "partners" that are getting in on that cut.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Only see 2 colours on Samsung store for S8+?

Fwiw, I'm in uk so Brexit probably bloody stole them

Ps: £780

 

[kiguel182]

I love these examples that don't apply to 90 per cent of the users.

"Your morning Uber!"

Probably cause Google Assistant sucks.

I think they're moving on from being the phone that's packed with Google to the phone that's packed with Samsung.

 

[Paganmoon]

pre-orders are up on Webhallen for Sweden (other Nordic countries as well maybe?)

 

[Funky Papa]

Sure it's nice, but €910 for the + version is some serious fuck you money.

That's like 90% of this dude's life probably.

 

[CS_Dan]

Probably cause Google Assistant sucks.

In terms of voice search and context awareness, Assistant blows the competition away. Hopefully the Bixby button can be reassigned...

 

[Illusive_Juan]

Let me connect to my smart refrigerator to see what I need to buy while I'm at the grocery store.

That's bull shit. I imagine that people with that lifestyle live somewhere where Prime Now exists and you'd just have amazon deliver your kung pao chicken.

 

[Vanillalite]

The longer this dude talks the more my boner is being killed.

FFS get him out of here

 

[Jeffrey]
