Thinking of switching to a mate 8. What are your guys opinion ? Also if anyone would be interested in trading me for my 64gb 6p . Also how is the camera quality in other apps such as instagram,snapchat ,etc? I remember on my old lg v10 it looked horrible due to not being optimized. thanks
Only thing this phones missing is pure aosp or cm Roms. Other than that, this is the phone the 2015 nexus should've been
cm roms wouldnt offer much more than the huawei roms, theyre already choke full of functions and extra settings as for aosp looks, u can adapt those easily via themes or custom launcher, no problem there.
im actually very happy that i didnt go the 6p route, the mate 8 is definitely the best phone ive ever had!

mate 8 is much faster and smoother than the nexus 6p
the cpu is a beast
but the camera is crap
I just thinking sell my z5 p and get mate 8. Still can't decide it is worth or not
If the nexus 6P was six inches and had a 4000mah battery I would have gotten that. It doesn't so to me the Mate 8 is better. If a manufacturer doesn't put in a large battery, I don't buy their device.
Mate 8 is better then nexus 6P as well as Z5.
I.have used both for some time.
Battery life is amazing

this! combine the mate 8 specs with the dev community of the 6p and it would be an absolute dream phone

Hello.. pixel in my country costs 1200$+- !!
While - HTC 10, G5, S7 and 3t are 550$+-
Now I don't think I want S7 because no USB-C and because I was planing on buying the 3t I switched all my chargers to USB-C
The G5 brand is LG and they have many problems in all their phones (Bootlops and battery become bad after year of use and such) so I don't think I want it either...
The 3t has almost no insurance in my country because it's not a "known" company so support will be difficult to get..
And HTC.................... The "10" is all I'm left with and I'm really not sure if I want it... But it's all I consider now.. what do you think??
I want a
9+/10 camera
8+/10 battery
7.5+/10 display
7+/10 performance
And 6+/10 build quality
What phone do you think will suit me the most?

Though I have pre ordered the S8+ I am not excited about it? Generally when a new mobile is due I get like a school kid at Christmas and count the hours and days away. The Note 7 drove me crazy and when it arrived it was MORE than I could ever wish for, simply a superb mobile and I have been buying them since 1989 when they where bricks! (I wrote Bricks!)
I have read what few Youtube reviews there are and the S8 is just not giving me that buzz you know the feeling that's why you are on this forum.
Am I the only one feeling this way?
'Maybe' its after owning the Note 7, no mobile has come even close to it for me? Maybe its just the evolution of the S brand more than the revolution that made that Note 7 stand out? Since the Note 7 I have owned 3 mobiles and they have all been just tools non of them has given me pride of ownership, non of them have got that wow factor.
I promised myself I would NOT purchase the S8+ and wait for the Note 8. I am so weak.....Is there another shrink in the house? Heeeeelp. :crying:
Hope you all enjoy a great Easter. :good:

Maybe don't upgrade as often and when you do you'll see a huge upgrade. Coming from the Moto x pure I'm happy to finally have usb-c, fingerprint reader, better IPS rating, better camera, ability to pair to 2 bluetooth devices ect... If you already have the S7 this phone isn't really that much of an improvement. Usually ever 2 years is a good measure if you can wait that long. I went from S3 to S5... From S5 to s6 didn't seem like that much of an improvement so I jumped to Moto x pure before the S7 came out.

The Note 7 was a revolutionary mobile, never owned one like it and it has spoiled me for buying other mobiles. I do hope the Note 8 is as accomplished.

If you have the means then do it.
I am personally more excited for this device than i have been for a long time. When they stole my Note 7 from me, i was angry and hurt and as a way to lash out, i went Apple! Just like so many mistakes made as a youth, it turns out i wasnt hurting anyone but myself. Sadly, there wasnt really another phone out there to go for since i had went from the s7 to the Note 7. Now, im anxious to get back.

I would still have my note 4 now if it did not break and Samsung would not fix it but replaced it with a s7. The screen size it everything for me as I watch everything on it. Sold the new s7 cannot wait for my s8+ 5.1inch way to Small for a top end phone these days
This "review" put a bit of a dampener on things, but being a Note 4 user for the past few years I am probably due an upgrade. Pre-ordered S8+, probably will mean I won't be getting any Note 8 as I have always honored my 2 year contracts since my first S2 "smart phone"

*this review
Coming from the S6 I'm very excited about it, going to get it in a week or less The overall specs updates for me are a reason to upgrade in themselves, the display, and other features that attract S7 owners adding to it.
But honestly speaking, I do feel a bit backstabbed by Samsung. The phone here in Finland cost more here than anywhere else in the world, and I got NO bonuses of any sort with it, while people in other countries are getting free 256gb SD cards and VR headsets. The bonuses aren't anything that I would particularly use, but it feels kind of rude from Samsung that some areas are left out on bonuses completely, while having a higher price than anywhere else.
But nevertheless, I haven't lost a single bit of the hype I had at launch (and for months before it, based on leaks), and I have all reasons to believe that it's going to be an amazing phone. Going to be a long week to wait
Coming from the Nexus 6P, I'm pretty pumped. Last Samsung phone I had was the note 4, note 2 before that and s2. I think I'm more excited for not being able to root again and seeing if I could take it with the s8 plus lol. But overall I'm curious to see how Samsung has progressed over the years.

I'm upgrading from a Note 4 which I got on release day back in 2014. I had a Note 7 on order but it was recalled before I received it.
Really looking forward to the S8+. This is the longest I've ever gone without upgrading my handset.

Same scenario. I didn't even know that the Note 7 was due for release, had searched if Nougat was available for Note 4 as some apps were updating for Android N. Search had showed me that Note 7 was being pre-ordered with Gear VR. I pre-ordered, but was told the VR promotion wasn't available.

Im more curious at this point than excited, curious to see if I will like the aspect ratio or not.
If I like it then I will swap for a exynos device which will hopefully be BL unlocked and have root, twrp etc.
Hard to get excited about a model (snapdragon) that will see never see any of that more than likely.

Since I have being using iPhones for 6 years, Im soooo HYPE for S8+!
My s8 plus and my wifes s8 will be here tomorrow. I have rooted since the Q... so while i have played with the s8 and think its a great phone i ha e concerns i will return it for lack of root. I have the note 5 right now because of root. I will keep my note 5 just in case i cant handle not having root. Not overly excited though because of lack of root

Was it worth it ?
The S8+. Of all the phones I've owned that was the first one I've ever broken the screen. So yes, the upgrade to the S9+ was worth it
Short of that though... I don't know. While the upgrades from the S8 were noticeable, if you have to pay full retail for it I don't think it would be worth it. The S8 is a great phone.
unnecessary thread and thus also discussion. for whom will this be useful?
I had the LG G5 and YES. It was absolutely worth the 900 bucks. The G5 is a pile of garbage and I had sworn off galaxy phones after the garbage that is TouchWiz but damn this S9+ really appealed to me. Bought it, love it, will never leave it.

Yep that's because there was no phone that was impressive or worth the upgrade throughout the years. Nexus 6 IMO is still the best community developer friendly device today (aside from oneplus 5t) it's almost 4 years old and the xda nexus 6 forums are still strong today and filled with many ROMs compared to other phones. The front facing speakers (using Dolby & viper4android) still beats the quality of the S9+ (with Dolby enabled and configured to my liking). But of course I love the S9+ performance which is why I'm stuck to it like glue lol.
Note 5. Honestly not much difference.

Just ordered my upgrade today. Gonna miss my HTC, but it was time to move on since ViperRom was discontinued.

Don't thinks so.
I had it for one week before get rid of it.
I can't handle those rediculous holes.
The position of power button is completely off.
Also lacking many features Oxygen will offer me.
Also a tone of bloatware as much one UI bring improvements Sammy needs to polished their UI and much less bloatware offers.
Navigation gesture compered to one oneplus offer is completely garbage.
Also I didn't like the yellowish white color tone of the screen.
No matter adjustable manual the white tone I couldn't find the ideal color for my eyes and taste preferences.
Note 9 white color tone of the screen is superior to those at s10 plus.
