I'd prefer black as it would hide the sensors up top. And the color renders a non intrusive view

Nor-matter what color you choose, front panel this time all is black.

one thing I hate Samsung is they always like to use 2 different processor for different country = slower software update doh.gif

Actually all front black is correct choice, I much prefer front all black and only back others color.

why would someone want a tab for? for ppl have s8 its good enough to be a phablet.

i am more expecting samsung to include the VR , gear 360 or dex or bundle with samsung watch
i would rather go for an ipad
*
Tab is tab, phone is phone.

The S8 is not big enough as a tab, even the S8+ also not.

Tab is not that high demand as mobile phone but not means it no market. Tab still is very different compare with mobile.

It is purely my hobby as a smartphone enthusiast. Well I am not the only one here. I even had the underrated n many said expensive Oppo Rs9 plus . I must say critics simply don't know what they are saying without even testing it out. With even a SD653 processor it performs equally  well as say V20, Mate9 series, S7e, OP3T, HTC U Ultra. Just because it has a SD653 chip doesn't make it poor. Yes I do agree it is comparatively more expensive. Most amazing is it's very fast app installation which shame most SD820, SD821 phones. The phone s super ultra smooth too.
Many look down at SD650,652 chipset but I must say I had good time w them on MiMax, A9pro
*
Frank speak, you don't play games. So outside all phone is very great nor-matter it is middle range or high-end because middle range power already enough for you.

Why paid more when the device from Oppo is highly over price and nothing special.

As said is my hobby. Price is immaterial to me. - is within my budget and I can afford it. I had paid premium averaging  rm500 and above  u for unavailable phones here - just to test eg recent Mi Mix  I both 128 and 256gb models. Just as pricy iPhone 7+ , it now lies mainly unused these days as I simply don't like it vs Androids. But I will still buy the ip8 to test

My comment is reply to your comment on this sentence "I must say critics simply don't know what they are saying without even testing it out.

Blink Camera Test - https://www.lowyat.net/2017/128655/blind-ca...galaxy-s7-edge/

S8 output is pure awesome! Nice white balance on night time. No lens flare!

Even though it output much darker in day light but it actually make the photo much dimension and look nice.

S8 eliminate the fake look of S7 Edge photo output.

Now I am very itchy!!!

fake look? u mean excessive noise reduction?

I don't feel Samsung camera ever excessive noise reduction. Just always over sharpening and wrong dynamic range sometimes.

But in S8 it seems perfect and no such issue.

No such thing as wrong dynamic range.

laugh.gif

Its like saying wrong megapixel.
*
It is overly change the dynamic range which make the photo no shadow feel and too flat. Even though it is clear everywhere but it is wrong. This is big issue on S7 Edge and previous camera setting on Samsung phone.

Megapixel had nothing to do with the camera photo output.

S8 output finally much better correct setting like others company setting especially it is more like quality from Google pixel phone.

You dunno is your problem not mine. You though S7 Edge is better, then go ahead.

QUOTE(Velocity @ Apr 6 2017, 11:19 AM)
hahahaha funny dude. You get all this by comparing photo some random ppl took?
*
Those random is enough for 1st judge. I use S7 Edge before and I know how it output. S7 Edge photo output is generally worst than Note 5. Can capture very bright output especially on night time not means it is great.

For last year mobile phone. Pixel, P9 Plus (I own it) & iPhone 7 Plus (I own it) all better output than S7 Edge because of the S7 Edge fake look and over sharpening, it became not really nice and unnatural output.

True, but even S7 also prone to smudges, quite evident in the lowyat camera comparison one of the S7 lens flare is due to smudges in the night scene with car headlights  :-

https://www.lowyat.net/2017/128655/blind-ca...xy-s7-edge/amp/

Confirm every S8 owner will wipe its camera before taking pictures, if you see someone wiping their phone camera often.. You will know he or she is an S8 owner from far lol

Other than that, it is a nice phone.
*
No issue for me. I wipe my phone maybe more than 50 times per day. I dunno how many times. I wipe every time after use. Haha!
