If I read correctly, the s8 is using newer sensor compared to S7. But the specs sounds the same.
*
the camera sensor.. should be same.

but the image processor (on the chip) is new and better.

Battery life comparison of S8+ w S7e, Pixel, ip7+
Looks good however just read with some salt. All of us use our phone differently
Looks like the 10nm chip does make a difference

i'd think better to compare s8 with s7e... coz screensize abt the same.

s8+ battery is 3500mAh and gets you 8hrs.
s7edge battery is same sized, and gets you abt 7+hours.

and based on s8+ battery size, that means s8 will give abt 6.5 hours of battery life on the same test.

update1:
ok, i guess it could be up to 7 hours... since i forgot that s8+ has got a bigger screen. so, it'll naturally consume more battery.

registration of interest looks more like a way for Samsung to harvest email address. you need to agree to let them email you other promotional stuff, etc..

I doubt ppl who register will get any special privilege. plus, pre-order details will be everywhere anyway.. not a secret when the time comes

a Singaporean friend said usually in Singapore, ppl prefer to get their phones via telco bundle/ plans...

i wonder if that is why pre-order goodies not that attractive?

sorry dude please name me another flagship comes close to samsung

Which flagship or iphone have iris scanner?
Which flagship or iphone have certified rating ip68
Which flagship or iphone have infinity display or close to bezeless with curve edge ?
Which flagship of android have their own AI assistant? even SIRI cant scan item and search
Apple fanboys even you give him a brick and say its iphone they will be in love while we can justify why we pay so much

So you being a fanboy does not apply to ALL.

coming quite close is.. G6. smile.gif

go and survey all samsung phone users.   you will be surprised that they dont even use those features.  or even they dont even know what extra features samsung has, LOL. 

im not saying samsung is bad or what. 

im just saying the price for samsung flagship is just marketing gimmick.    of so many samsung phone users around the world.  how many user do actually use their functions or features. 

yes their price point correspond to those extra functions and features no other phone makers has.   however, do we really need all these in a flagship phone?  

for me   i will get the best phone that suits me best.  and will not waste extra cash for that extra features that i wont be using. 

my point is, alot of samsung phone users are just like apple fans.   they follow what people use and just buy the phone instead of actually considering the purpose of the phone.
*
that's why Nokia coming out with that (is it) 3310. so ppl who don't need iris scanner, infinity screen, finger print sensor can be happy to get a new phone..

/end sarcasm

but seriously.. if a product has got too many devices one does not need, then don't buy it.

no need to say why Tesla cars got auto drive, big screen, etc when the driver don't want it. then go and argue tesla price high because of all these "useless" features.

if don't need all that, just buy la a proton or Honda.

that is my whole point. 

but nowadays.  the society follows what people buy and entirely disregard the purpose of that phone.

ever considered that perhaps you're still stuck in the past..?

things improve. phone no longer just for making a call. that's why it's a smart phone now. can surf net, play games, watch movies, pay for stuff, etc..

I beg to differ.

Compare to other countries in this region, ours is not bad. It gaves what general public needed:

- Power bank with Type C port.
- Wireless charger.
- a simple case & SP.
- Most worthless and yet valuable, screen crack protection

While you will argue that others are offering more advance wireless charger/VR/etc/discount, the MY offer a complete package that allows the phone to be use out of the box with all the necessary. As an average Joe, you don't need to go here and there looking for SP, ordering casing like what we tech savvy is doing now here in LYN.
*
personally, i think the pre-order is fair. no price discount as we've seen how it's encouraged scalpers.

the pre-order freebies are going to be good for ppl who will actually buy and use the phones -- example: extended warranty and screen crack protection.

wireless charger... having used it back with note7, i started to like it.

case and sp... most users will want one and use it anyway. might as well have sth that samsung designed, unless what MY is giving is some cheapo china made ones -- that is what they did back with Note7 compensation (first recall). some very lousy brandless SP.

possibly what i think is the worst item in the pre-order is the 5k PB. at least give la 10k. or something else...

in summary, pre-order:
* good for ppl who buy for own use
* bad for scalpers

how does the telco preorder works if the plan is not updated? we just preorder without knowing the monthly commitment etc?
*
if it's anything like before, the telco will unveil the pre-order details tomorrow and you'll see what time of plans will be offered. you can then choose whichever plan you want. but there will be the usual stuff like you cannot get it if you're on existing contract, etc... unless you pay early termination fees, etc...

accidents don't think that way. they happen when they wanna happen.

there was a note7 user who had the screen broken. paid for replacement... just to get the recall.

not sure if the person is around in this thread... biggrin.gif
