The one thing that kept me from buying a OnePlus 3 and they just repeat it on the 5. 1080P + subpar amoled + 5.5" = no buy.
Seriously considering a S8+. One of the few phones out there with some unique "wow" factor. How much bigger is the Note 8 going to be compared to the S8+?

Nothing confirmed on note 8.
S8plus is amazing I love the camera for my family and friends and the screen looks sick.

Screen is rumored to be 0.1 in bigger but I imagine it would be wider for the stylus to fit.

Wife and I both just started experiencing the phone restarting and ours are Nexus 6. We are feeling the same way and will probably move over to xfinity mobile once the new iphone releases since she wants one again.

Where to go for serious phone reviews? I used to use Anandtech, and still do, but they are incredibly slow. It took them 4 months to fully review the S7, and they haven't done a full review on the S8 yet. At the same time, I don't want some fluff site that has reviewed the phone the day it's released.

I usually go to The Verge.
I have gotten into that cycle before with my old LG phone. I swear when you get a warranty replacement they just send you someone else's broken phone that they put a bandaid on.

I don't go to one source anymore. I use Google news and search for the phone I'm looking into. Tons of fluff pieces, for sure, but in the end I come out of it with more information than before. Especially for rumors/leaks, they all share that information once its out, but it's how I stay up on stuff. Basically read the reviews from a bunch of different places, and draw conclusions by the similarities between them.

If you can get the s8+ with a buy one get one deal I'd say go for it. (sell the 2nd if you have no use for it)
My only real complaint is the placement of the fingerprint sensor. The great thing about this phone to me is the screen is fucking huge but the phone itself feels much smaller in your hand. (of course this is me comparing it to a Nexus 6 and a Nexus 6p)
No way I'd ever happily pay full price for one mind you, or any phone.

I've been on the Nexus train since the 5 and I'm not sure I give a shit about getting the newest flavor of Android first. All it seemed to do in the past is fuck my phones up honestly. In the case of the 6p it may have bricked the fucking thing with the bootloop issue. Who knows.
The 6 somehow started out as a fine phone but got slower and slower as time went on.
and yeah, there is like zero bezel on teh s8 series, makes the Iphone 7 look like a joke.

Some of the crowd sourcing features that Google is able to implement I thought was super nice. I guess on pixel phones, spam callers will show up in red when they call based on feedback from other people?
I'm sure there's an app or something that can do the equivalent? Was just nice to see it built in.

Not too excited about the note 8 considering my current note 4 is on its death bed due to shitty on board storage. Also the camera lens shattered for absolutely no reason last week.
