They also didn't offer discount on S6. They only did so weirdly for N5, S7 and N7.

I only got discount on my S6e by buying through a forumer here who had contacts in Samsung.

wonder how is the screen crack warranty works, if the crack is no "natural" enough then they wont replace for u, define "natural" hmm.gif

Most often than not, if you happen to drop your phone, there will be dents and scuffs. If there's no dents or scuff, don't you feel suspicious? Ok, you might accidentally slam the screen against something hard, that one really not sure how they will handle it.

Personally I had similar experience when my son kicked the iPad on the bed and fell directly on top of my S6e. Screen cracked really bad but something dropped on it instead of slamming it against something hard. I wonder if I will get successful claim for such case since there well be no dents or scuff around the aluminium chassis to indicate a drop had taken place.

Does it mean Samsung will reject rooted devices.

Dex review
Actually what's so good about this dex? Limited apps atm

Thats just how it is. In order for all these to work, you just need to pull developers along. I wonder if Samsung will be successful in pulling it off. Gear VR come and go, nothing much changed. Gear S too. S Pen too. The thing is that not everyone is on the same page now, unlike the phone whereby you had nowhere to go but Android. Everyone is trying to be the special one who monopoly one space that could make them stand out.

Personally I like DeX and hope Google could perhaps step in to standardized the whole thing. Once you managed to lay out a set of standards, then developers would be happy to tag along, just like what happened with Android. If you are going to develop it as per device, even with Samsung sales number, I think it would be hard to pull it off.

went  to samsung to test try out the  phone is just stunning make me never want a hua wei boring design.  all the earlier version of curve not as nice as s8

the s8 hold nicely in hand and the finget print reach just nice but phone feel smaller but the curve is just stunning.

i notice the back really a finger print magnet just black easily to see under direct light.

the photo is a s8+ its large but the finger print need abit more effort to reach but can get use to afters while its not that bad like the review and other ppl claim.

the black colour is still very nice but i plan to use casing so it's useless to get the silver sides.

accessories after goinf through deciced not to get samsung ones too expensive and isn't that nice the clear view case all have limited functionality so better use AOD.

the thin case dont really protect  the  edge  well.

over all the phone fit nicely in hand and i earn some ppl complaining why the s8+ is in a weird shape.

It seems like every reply also start with Huawei... haha

Love start from hatred... I think you fell in love already...

Sometimes you get different result from different Youtubers even with the same phone comparison.

Or could this be Exynos vs Snapdragon difference? Korea getting Exynos while US getting Snapdragon.

Somehow I dont trust that as My S1 took ages to have burn in. Besides that its already proven that the home button moves around to prevent burn ins.

Also looked into all the links but couldnt find any picture of the burn in.
*
There's still a possibility. I think the one where they showed the moving button was a stand by screen. Did they also test it when the device was not locked i.e. watching a video or playing games for long hours? If Samsung miss out on that, then its not impossible.

The edge sense navigation is what you should be concentrating on. Others are more or less the same here and there for most flagship. Love to see if Samsung is willing to reinvent the way they think the edge should works. Rubbing either edge to trigger one hand operation is quite interesting depending on how it actually works in the final product.

Actually s7edge can rub edge to wake the phone. Then touch finger print sensor. No need to hard press thr home button.

I know la... been using S6e for so long. I wish for it to change. Rub it to trigger one hand operation like what htc is planning. Did you read everything before reply?

True. Although I have preferred mechanical one, but I really wonder if this touchscreen home button could be flexible. If Samsung allow it to be moved around freely, then reaching the fingerprint sensor at the back wouldn't be so hard for S8+ owners.

What did you do to make it wear off? I never thought what it's made of because my S6e still intact after 2 years. I thought it was covered with glass since it never wear off.
