That plus screen size is going to be glorious.
I'm liking the size of the Galaxy S8.

This. Big screen in a smaller footprint without having to upgrade to the Edge model to get something larger than just 5". So you still get a rather large screen, but without the extra cost.
I think the iPhone will be the same.
I'll be interested to see how well the Plus models for both sell if the regular model fixes the smaller screen issue by getting rid of the bezels without dramatically increasing the footprint of the phones.
S8 seems like a good size but rumors are it having the same 3000mah battery at S7 which wasn't really known for good battery.
We don't talk about ultra budget phones much lol.

My S7 (exynos) has great battery life. I get 24h frequently with 4 hours of SOT.

I just can't wait cause the S8 is the first 835 phone and I want to see benchmarks for performance and battery.
Best wait for op4 lol. Well benchmarks are leaked already.
I bet it's gonna lose to op3t in speed tests lol.
Unless Samsung really care about performance this time for the snapdragon model.

Sweet, thanks
If that's really the size of the normal S8, I'm struggling to think why I would bother getting the larger one.

Hey HTC. Do you wanna talk about some problems you might be having?
This is just so stupid on so many levels.

Gotta be honest both Android and iOS updates kinda bore me now. Most of the major features are already in.
Everything else especially in Android land is all handled via app updated vs system.

well if you give a shit fingerprint gestures are in.
Yeah just give me semi regular security updates and I'm good for the most part.
I feel the same way. Unfortunately, security updates seem to be low on the totem pole for most manufactures.

Update in progress
Now to see how much shit Samsung has changed and how much the wifey will complain about it being different lol

iOS still has room for growth in notifications but yeah almost everything else is refined. I like that though. The more I grow in this tech world the more I value refinement and consistency.
The big manufacturers like Samsung, LG, seem to be doing monthly security updates for their flagships. Even ZTE with their Axon 7 has been quick with updates. Huawei promises quarterly security updates which I can live with. Motorola has been really disappointing after the Lenovo purchase as my Moto G4 Plus is still on the July 2016 security update.
Better than search and maps and YouTube?

Tomorrow, I'll be getting a new phone. I have a micro sd card in my old android phone. I'd like to stick the card into the new one, move the music off it into the new phone's storage and remove the micro sd card. Is there a way to do this with no access to a computer?
EDIT: Can I transfer by bluetooth?
EDIT: Can I transfer by bluetooth?
from sdcard to local memory? just do it with one of the handful of good file managers on android.
probably easier to manage on pc though.
Bluetooth would be really slow.
That's actually pretty reassuring to hear. I might consider a non-Pixel phone for my next phone then.
I hope they open it up for any phone.

Good point. No.
You can install a different dialer or contacts app that have that feature. On my dialer I have that option under settings, blocked numbers, yours should be similar ( I think all dialers will have it somewhere).

If you have both phones you can connect phone to phone via AirDroid and just transfer shit over your local network.

Virtually no bezels and on screen buttons are hawt.
That being said they aren't game changer, and the UI looks pretty familiar especially since I played with my Wife's GS6 with Nougat last night.
Think I'm gonna just order the Blue Coral GS7 when I get home and cop that free gift card.
835 ain't enough to sway me for the extra cash I would pay out.

Side note I hate how all the major carriers will fawn over you if you are a new customer or adding lines, but they give 0 fucks if you are an existing customer.
You almost are better off switching carriers every year or two to get the credits. It's fucking stupid.

So the Galaxy S8 benchmarks are all over the place.
The original leaked benchmarks for both the exynos and 835 sucked.
Then new benchmarks hit and supposedly the S8 basically broke Antutu it was so fast.
Idk wtf to think.

Antutu is usually reliable though and yet the S8 is the first device ever to break 200k for a score.
Makes me wonder if Samsung cheated on the bench test somehow.
Yeah since you don't have to do contracts any more it's better to just switch if something better comes along. It's more of a hassle if you're on a family plan if everyone needs to get a new phone.
If you're on an individual line Cricket, AT&T GoPhone, or MetroPCS are all solid choices and you can get pretty much any unlocked phone to use on those carriers.
Regardless im bored of benchmarks. Give me the real world smoothness.

Funny enough ios 10 added frame skipping so that it will skip frames of animation if lag happens.
So performance is sped up on older devices but you will notice less smoothness in the animations lol.
