Samsung Galaxy S8

V20 going to my daughter, G4 getting long in the tooth

Lol, I think you should set up the Fanie Phone Lottery. Seeing as they all only have a couple months mileage on them, it'd be extremely popular (plus being owned by the great Fanie adds a lot of collector's value).

Except they'll be covered in charcoal dust and smoke residue :whistle:
 
I think I am going to get the Plus. I am wary about the battery on the S8

That's the thing: why the hell can't Samsung bring out the S8 Plus Battery edition, with a 7 000 mAh battery (even if the phone's gotta be a couple mm thicker)? Don't they understand how many people would go for that? These phones have gotten so thin compared to the bricks we're still used to having a few years ago, why can't they give us REAL battery life?

It will be interesting to see the sort of Battery Life the S8 and S8+ get.

Samsung's own stats show that the S8+ falls short of the S7 Edge in some areas which is worrying.
 
Here are Samsung's own Battery​ Stats.

Dude, it's a battery. You think they're gonna give a precise figure that's related to your specific usage patterns and other variables (handset temperature/battery chemistry/vibration/uninterrupted usage/CPU draw based on other apps in RAM etc)? If you want good battery life, get a Nokia 3310.
 
That's the thing, how can you even state any usage as each one will be different. One will get 4 hours and the other 12 hours. Also would love to see a S7 get 15 hours video playback, will struggle to even get close to 10.
