You can drag around on a normal display
They mean the new Gear VR set. That's in partnership with Oculus.
I won't.
Preorder in Sweden costs 7990 sek for the S8 and 8990 sek for the S8+
7990 sek is just over 899 usd and 8990 sek is 1012 usd.
Without the VR headset that is free in other countries.
I'll sell you mine, matey
Hey Faceless are there any Huawei style fingerprint gestures to bring down notifications?

Is the s8 more powerful or have a bigger battery? I remember the s6 and s6 edge that was a major difference outside of the thin
Man I would have been all over this, but it doesn't look like Best Buy works with T-Mobile. I didn't see them listed in the carriers payment plans. Guess I'll just have to go with T-Mobile directly at $750 for the base model.
I'm sure tmobile will come out with some deal for the s8 soon enough.
Plus has 3500mah battery vs 3000. Bigger screen. $100 more. Everything else is the same.

I think you'd need a new VR Headset since the S8 is USB-C. Or was that Gear VR revision USB-C?

It was since it was compatible with the Note 7. Had the interchangeable connector.

Gear VR revision was USB C.
Given the shit tier placement of the sensor who cares?

Thanks for the heads up. I don't know if it's worth going for the plus, I think it might be too big for me I don't want a phablet.
AT&T has the regular s8 at 750, so a better value than the g6 with its $120 AT&T tax. I'll go to best buy tomorrow and see how to get the money off
The S8+ has a 3500mah battery. The S7 Edge has a 3600mah. So slight downgrade but I think with the new 835 processor, it will be more energy efficient, enough to negate the difference.
If I end up jumping on this. I'll probably get an S8, the S8 is already as big as the S7 Edge. I don't think I'll be comfortable holding the S8+, that's phablet territory for me. With both having edge display, that just make it an easier decision for me to go with the S8.
Though I do worry that the S8 only has a 3000mah battery, the S7 Edge has a 3600mah. I don't know if the battery life will suffer because of it. Since they have roughly the same size screen.

Unless Samsung figures out how to put the reader on the bottom portion of the screen where the home button is. I don't see where else they'll be able to put it that you can reach comfortably. It's a necessary trade off for the thinner bezel.
Lord Error
Insane For Sony
Is it all the way at the bottom, below the screen, or is it actually part of the screen?
Did you try face/iris unlock? What's the difference between the two?
I missed out on the 7 last year but I'll probably be making the jump from GS6edge to the S8 standard.
What sounds better? Paying $143 to allow me to trade my current phone in and upgrade now or paying $285 and owning my phone, then starting a new payment plan for a new phone.. ?
mhm...

Trading your current one.
Is the GS6 Edge worth $285 if you sold it? There's your answer.

They better let us customize that extra button that is just used to open Bixby.
Because that shit is the first thing I would disable.
Can't you set it so double tap of bottom volume button opens camera?

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
No way to get the $750 price at BestBuy all up front?

software aside, the regular size is the best phone i've ever held. feels so good in the hand.

Aren't the software issues largely solved by waiting for one of the app store launchers to work with it?

Any news on whether the Best Buy deal stacks with the AT&T $750 credit for second s8 deal?

As someone who switched from Android to iOS a few years ago with no plans to switch back, this is a sexy fucking phone. Like damn.
Apple really needs to wow this year if they want to keep pace in the looks department.

Well, Webhallen is throwing in a Harmon Kardon speaker for free with the 7990 preorder
I'd rather take that than the GearVR honestly (not cause I don't believe in VR, but because I've got a Vive already)Victory Red

Not sure if posted, Casey Neistat has an S8+ in his studio.

Confirms edges aren't as edgey as S7.
IPhone 7+ looks laughable next to the S8+. So much more screen for the same size phone.
