Fucking hell, can't see it selling well
Not sure if there is a $100 phone on nougat yet in the US?
Maybe when those Nokia Android phones come to the US.
Good grief. Seriously?

LG is REALLY trying to get people to buy it over the S8. AT&T is offering a free google home I think? Verizon is offering a free TV. I believe one of the carriers were offering both.
I see a lot of folks praising the G6 to high heaven but leveling quite a few criticisms at the S8.
I think everyone should try and get their hands on one in a store though before making a purchase.
I found a G6 at a Verizon store and the S8 at a Best Buy. I went with the S8. I hope I don't end up kicking myself for it. They both seem like great phones.... I just really AMOLED displays over LCD.
Page died. I did see it before. Dedicating a whole page for pixel yet still no wifi calling or volte.
If they got that shit I wouldn't be pre-ordering a s8.
Holy moly. LG is really trying to oil themselves up to look enticing to potential customers.

Hi, I'm nortonff. I spend my life going into threads to say that I don't care about the topic of the thread. It's a really good use of my time.
Can anyone help me completely reset my phone back to stock? It's a Moto X Play.
I wanna wipe everything and reinstall the factory image, since my main camera stopped working.
The tutorials I found seem way more complicated than my previous phone.

Aside from my display concerns with the S8, it was nice to look at. The curved screen is a bit impractical at times, but it looks and runs great.
The LG G6 on the other hand, feels a lot sturdier and I appreciate the more traditional looks. The size is fine too.

The bag of goodies that I got from Samsung.
The actual bag itself is a $74 bag.
Samsung has no chill.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
I didn't see what goodies we're in there if you posted it in this thread. What were they?
Carrier deals need to be scrutinized to hell. I've worked for most of the major carriers in the US before and been in meetings with important folks.
Every deal will get you paying for that phone back one way or another.
Except maybe LG phones. They just want to push those out because they don't sell lol.

Anyone seen that s8 vs iphone 7 video going around. The speed test ends how you imagine. Qualcomm lol. Optimization lol. Imagine the 8.
Oneplus 4 should fair better.
Oneplus 4 should fair better.
Definitely in ram management. Expect similar issues with rendering and app loads vs ios though.
I'm more curious about touch latency and scroll stuttering on the galaxy.
Waiting for xda review.

I just wish google would've launched the pixel xl on Tmobile. They finally made THE phone that has the camera, speed, and responsiveness of iOS I wanted and they lock it to Verizon. Here's to looking at oneplus 4 or Pixel 2.

Uh, the unlocked version works just fine on T-Mobile? Like, that is the whole point of GSM carriers and phones.

they're sending the GS8+ to us at launch.
they only handing out pre-release Gear 360s, phones are a no-go until the launch date.

Still a great phone. I have read the camera glass is susceptible to cracking though.
Just checked displaymate and they mostly only review Galaxy and iPhones?

Freaking awesome. I'd love S8+ especially since I think it's the better phone between the two.

pretty good water bottle, the highlight of the list. Enjoy man.
So how did you get invited to this event again? Was there some social media contest? Are you in tech media or run some YouTube channel?

Played with S8/S8+, they felt much lighter in hand than S7E, the aluminium and the glass material now feels rather plastic. I would have thought Samsung had changed material if i didnt know better....
I was also surprised my S7E has a wider(horizontal) screen...18:9 imo is crap.

Woah. Gear s3 was updated so Samsung rewards are applied to Samsung pay. Don't need a galaxy phone anymore.
Yeah lol. I don't mind it too much but I don't look at the ass of my phone much.I had a look and the carbon fibre effect they've added to that is gross imo.
There was an email from Samsung - first 50 people to respond to it won a trip. I got the email, but it was too late for me to respond :/
missed out on another 2 phones to add to your 30
