Samsung could release it sooner because they're partnering Qualcomm, they also have their own screens and most probably everything else apart from the camera. That's a massive advantage they have over everyone. Sony should've delayed giving them the camera sensors but they themselves probably make a ton of cash from selling their sensors to Samsung who are obviously their biggest customer considering the number of units they sell.

Yes, S8 look classy and will sell like hot cake.

But for me personally, as a S7 user, I don't think i will switch to it. I will look at the competition.
- no improvements in camera department
- no improvements in battery performance
- slight improvements in SoC performance (& maybe efficiency).. but no near the last year apple a10.
- edge screen: I am not a fan of the edgy screen, mostly due ergonomics and extra glare. I had enough with the s6 edge and also didn't like the s7 edge.
- non standard screen resolution
- big phone, why they tend to generally increase the phone with almost every iteration?!
- that stupid awkward fingerprint sensor position
- got tired of glass back phones (and i'm using the wireless charging very very rarely)
- & more

Aussieland,

Indeed, DeX will be a continued work in progress.


Agreed DSF,

The S8 is not enough of an upgrade to the S7 line. The S7 and S7 Edge were an anomaly though they some how got huge batteries and due to the Note 7 Debacle they got Grace UI much earlier than they should have, Samsung also did an incredible job with the S7 cameras as they were pretty much the best Camera phones in 2016 until the Pixel arrived.

Actually looking at both S7 and S7 Edge right now, they compete quite well with even the 2017 Flagships, nothing that has been announced this year is really better than the S7 Line, mostly Side-grades rather than real upgrades.

The S7 benefitted the most from the Note 7 Debacle as even going forward Samsung will have less of a problem supporting the S7 line as they were the only Flagships in 2016.

I thought no those of us on S7 and S7 Edge need to wait for IFA 2017 or otherwise​ MWC2018 and the Samsung Unpacked event in 2018.

FYI for those interested.. simple drop tests.

seems like since the glass is embedded into the frame, without a case to cushion a corner landing, the GG5 may not be able to handle the impact even from hip height and may crack, which will lead to others eventually.

kinda surprised since it survived good bend test.

does not bode well for the XZP with similar materials as far as drop durability is concerned.. hmmmmm

Well I'll be damned! I was wrong I fully expected the S8 to get below 80h in the Battery Endurance Test, but it blew past that and got 84h!

Lol, let's see some screenshots of the battery life you are getting in your Z5, and there must not be any power saving enabled.

I want see at least 6hours Screen On Time.

Sony's are average at battery life at best, nowhere near what the guys here at Esato claim this the only forum where a select few individuals claim Sony's get good battery life.
