Was possibly thinking on getting an S8+, but after reading about the official phones, not a frigging chance;
- Lol. Launched with outdated software. Android 7.1 has been out awhile, and these just ship with last years 7.0 UNACCEPTABLE.
- 3,000mAh battery on the 5.8" phone is way too small, and will just give average battery life, and 3,500mAh on the 6.2" phone again is just too small, will probably have good battery life, but not like if it had a 4,000mAh which the S8+ should absolutely have. Why can the Huawei Mate 9 with a 5.9" screen come with a 4,000mAh battery, and has amazing battery life.
- And Touchwiz, again, they need to be selling GPE phones again, the option to pay full price for a Samsung Galaxy phone running stock Android supported directly by Google. That's the only way to guarantee timely updates and a smooth OS. These S8 will be lucky to see Android O by Spring 2018, heck they aren't even shipping with the current 7.1
- TW blows, don't care what anyone says, I have owned the Note II, S3, S4, Note 5, S7 Edge. Every single one of those phones lags like an old Windows 95 PC after a few months. Even the Note 5, yeah brand new it was awesome, but six months later was a laggy bogged down phone. My co-workers all got S7 Edge for Christmas recently, I set them all up, and I was shocked at how much tiny micro stutter, and little hiccups all these S7 Edge's had. They were not smooth phones at all. I went to T-mobile last Fall to look at the Note 7's, the salesman had a personal Note 7 he let me play with, he said look how smooth this phone is, I said wow not. It lagged at spots here and there, and would stutter for half a second when doing a lot of stuff.
-Stock Android is 1,000 times more smooth than TW, even Nougat Toucchwiz. Today in 2017, there's zero need for these manufactures UI anymore, they should all be running vanilla Android 7.1.2
Each phone comes with a pair of $100 earbuds? The phone will be expensive.

- Lastly I am no iPhone at all, but surprisingly have an iPhone 7 Plus as my daily driver, and I am shocked at how smooth iOS 10.3 is, just so buttery darn smooth, never hiccups, never lags, it's just always the same speed always smooth. Touchwiz Nougat isn't even close to the smoothness of iOS, and TW isn't as smooth as Android 7.1 , that's not opinion, but fact.

Yes, I believe it is the same camera.I'm confused...
Is the camera exactly the same as the S7's?
Better front facing camera but yesI'm confused...
