iZipCharge
The fastest charging available on any smartphone!
That's how I imagine it.
For real though, I think the S8+ is only going have average/slightly above average battery life which is fine so since the battery allegedly degrades slower than the S7/E battery.

iVerge strikes again.
how many participation awards they give Apple, like for the i7 or their latest iTV or those rectangular ass iWatches?
did they give them an award for participating in actually upgraded hardware on their new macs?
I just bought the G5 for $120 from Best Buy and it still blows my mind it was all legal, lol.

Another harsh g6 review.
First one I've read about LG app store. Sounds awful? Server is in Korea?
Anyone here with an LG phone confirm this?

You can remap the bixby button on the S8/S8+:

hmmm i recall this was one of the ways to 'remap' samsung phone buttons to be more like AOSP layout in the past. Nice to see it still works lol.
Not sure i want it for assistant... maybe shortcut for camera?

Samsung users must get some mixed ass messages with people they're dating 😂
Cool I'll probably get it or the Pixel 2 if I've saved up enough by then and the design isn't as plain.

You guys can't appreciate just how crappy and unrefined Samsung is. Or LG. These companies are so awful. They don't care about the product or experience. They just have check boxes to check. They literally do not care about anything but selling a product. They don't want to make a good product. They just want to make something that sells. If you're fine with that attitude, OK. But I prefer companies who care about what they make and are proud of it. That sort of sincere care shows when you actually own the product.

So went to the local AT&T store (the only one in this town lol) and they pulled the S8 and S8+ from their safe to show them to me when I asked if they had demo units.
The S8 is really small, holy shit. It's like the width of a 5" phone.
The S8+ is as wide as my Lumia 950, and like 1 cm taller. I will get the S8+.
This.

The S8 is really small. It's the same size as my HTC M8.... but it's like all screen. The S8+ is the same height as the Nexus 6P.... but being all screen, I think it will be super difficult to use with 1 hand. Luckily, that 1-handed mode is slick as hell.
Why don't carriers have a way to see what your total bill will be (including taxes)? I find this completely ridiculous.
Project Fi sucks. I'm going to give it a few days for the porting to "settle" (I just made that up, I can't think of any other reason it sucks), but calls intermittently don't work, texts intermittently aren't received. The subreddit is full of similar stories. I'm amazed anyone can rely on this service.
However, I still want to know what I'll really be paying with Verizon. I have to either go back to AT&T or give Verizon a shot. Considering they're about the same base price now, I might as well go Verizon.

I don't know about you guys but with every Android phone I had there was always homework to do.
And I had two Nexus
Be it screen calibration issues or some nitpicking on my half
Sounds like you would like Cricket Wireless. Total is included in the monthly payment.
$30 plan is a exactly $30 and so on.
That's pretty refreshing to hear actually. Nice to see a service provider being this transparent.

This is every prepaid service. MetroPCS, Boost, Cricket, etc
Not every. T-Mobile $30 plan isn't exactly $30 after taxes.
Also if you live in Cali or Illinois and buy prepaid cards, you are charged at a tax rate according to city.
Service is AT&T prepaid.
Well the difference is nexus isn't $700, and you don't have to flash a new firmware to get the fingerprint sensor to work lol.
Every phone has quirks, ideally the more expensive it is, the less quirks!
Actually the Nexus 6 was around that price, but I get your point
I do always forget other prepaid services.
Haven't looked into Cricket in a very long time. I'm assuming they still throttle LTE speeds, which I'm not a fan of. Also sucks that you can't tether on unlimited plans (I need tethering ability).

Samsung Galaxy S8 = £652.97
G6 sent to die.

After having read this review, I'm just going to wait for the Pro to drop in Sweden instead of getting an S8:
