Shadow Galaxy easily the best wallpaper. Never going to change it.
Wouldn't say it's bad but something is off. One time I went to advanced options and I don't know what I did but it lowered the overall volume and no matter what I do, try setting thinks to default, it won't change the volume back to higher sound. I have to have the volume at 80% to get the most of but before that 60 - 70% was already overkill.

As someone who is still on his Galaxy S4, what should I expect if I want to go with the S8(+)?
That's a bit concerning. Which Sennheisers?

MASSIVELY upgraded build quality, design, and UI, along with the expected huge upgrades of the screen, cameras, and speed.
HD 598. I'm using these settings and it sounds great now.

Any productivity app suggestions? I'm coming from a S8 so there's a lot I missed out on.

Damn these are so legit. I ended up getting it for free as I had a bunch of playstore credit stacked thanks to the Google Opinion Rewards app. (Seriously, you guys should get in on that if you haven't already.) I was also worried it was gonna look funky on S8's aspect ratio, but it looks just damn fine.
It's a set of wallpapers samsung put out. At first I thought it was supposed to blend in with the bezel (and it does) but I think it's shtick is that it crosses over between your home screen, lock screen and always on display as one style or look. (They're really plain though.)

Yeah. Or any cool apps basically. Somehow I had a document editing program already so that's one thing checked off.

Man I'd love something like that for the "infinity wallpapers" (as in, that transitioning between AoD, lockscreen, background)
Are these selling out, or is stock reasonable?
I just got paid about 45 hours worth of overtime that I worked in March and can afford one right away. I was thinking about getting one later this year but that OT pay ended up being much larger than I expected, so I plan to go Monday to T-Mobile in my neighborhood and see if they've got any around.
I know that it obviously depends on where you live, and while I know flagship phones do have a tendency to sell out pretty quick, it's not a market I have a lot of experience in, as I tend to do my upgrading well after release date on the phones I pick up.
I think this is only the second phone that's ever kind of urged an early adopter purchase out of me (it would be the first one that I actually follow through on), but I am truly in love with the infinity screen design and I'm sure the under-the-hood specs work out nicely, too.
Plus, it's my birthday in a few weeks... Got nothing else in life that really pops out as a treat-myself kinda thing right now, other than a few games I plan to pick up this month.

Lol glad you all like it, I had something like this back in the gingerbread days before I made my switch to windows phone.
If you folks like this, try earth&moon pro. I think there's a free version.
On another tip; Is anyone having horrible lag with the default messaging app? I imported some 58k worth of messages from my lumia 950xl, but since then it's about a 5 sec delay to send.
Have no issues around here . I see them in stock at least at best buy and frys.
Mine arrived today, incredible phone. Didn't think​ it would be the upgrade over the s7E it is...but holy shit.
Using the iris scanner and I'm shocked how well it works. I set the press home to unlock option and basically just look at the Iris cam...no need for the mask thing..and right in. Even the finger print scanner hasn't been a problem either.. hardly use it but the times I have it's so responsive..

Man, the iris scanner kind of made me realise how much I actually used my lock screen.
I LOVE how my phone will be getting ready to ask me for a password, then just automagically log me in.
I also love that feeling of turning on the screen and it just unlocking without thinking about it.
However, it's kind of funny how I'll start reading notifications on the lock screen sometimes, then all of a sudden the phone unlocks and it's gone.
It's not really a complaint, just a realisation that while I never had a phone that could insta unlock and that I like that this one can, instant unlocking is not the holy grail all the time

Picked up the VR and controller on Kijiji for a good price. In giving the Gear VR a try I had to take the phone out of the case and it still blows me away.
Initially when I first tried it in store it was hard to get a feeling for the phone with all security shit attached to it.

Would this wireless charger be good for the S8? I'd imagine it might not be as fast as new one, but if it works well enough for that price I'd love to get it.
I think those stand type ones just look cooler haha
So the Home button moves..
As in it moved to digital or...
It moves slightly when the screen is off to avoid burn in.
Tried. Still have to readjust my glasses to get it to work. Just easier to use pin lol.
I've done it with my Sun glasses on
You sure y'all not just tripping?
Forget which website it was but they had a story about it. Samsung confirmed that the pixels modulate slightly.
At the store I work at we haven't even sold one yet. Though I guess it's probably because its an expensive phone in a poor area.
Smart. Where the black bar at the top is, my S6 edge has normal colors, but everything under is a duller, brownish tinge. Also got burn in from Chrome lol.

Which out of the 25 is this one?
I'm setting mine to change hourly.
Take it out of the freezer.
Can't believe I laughed at this.
Hextor, no stars and no galactic core

Popped into this thread to check out impressions on the S8 (love my S6 edge), ended up buying this live wallpaper pack. Well done.
Very last one in the list. Blue something. It's the one I'm using.
Edit: oh nevermind. I'm using blue lagoon I like it better
It zooms in and out and it's also blue and orange

Why isn't mine full screen? I have the app set to go full screen in the Android settings. Am I missing something?
Damn that wallpaper looks beautiful on this phone.
Damn that is smexy
Was thinking of getting a S7E next time it was on sale, but Costco has a $200 GC w/ the phone and was thinking of doing that instead.
The low S7E prices have been around 360-380, the S8 is either 550 or 650.
For someone who doesn't do a ton on their phone beyond web browsing, would paying the extra 170 or 270 be worth it?
