Cool
Gave up on the pre-order. Cancelled and re-did the whole thing in-store.
First full day from 100%.
So far I'm finding it's almost as good as the S7 Edge, when it was still fresh.
6% charging bump at 45% when I accidentally left it plugged into a laptop for 20 odd minutes, after transferring files.
Recharged at 20% because I've read it's good for battery health.
Ran it against 14 month old S7 Edge with similar workload:
Both on Wi-Fi (No SIM in S7E), primarily updating apps, backing up photos to Google photos, transferring WhatsApp data and listening to music occasionally through the day.
The Edge died when the Plus hit 23%
I've definitely had more screen time and usage at the Edge's peak.
(Not even run to flat then)

Ouch... Did you still get the wireless charger though? Will phone tomorrow and if it isn't already with the courier, think I'll do the same.

Standby time is quite awesome on the S8 compared to my S6, 66% after 1 day 4 hrs, yet to test screen time as I haven't set it up yet.
Also managed to find an awesome leather cover for R200 in my mall.

I think im going to have to do the same thing today, its been a week and nothings happening with my order, they've even already debited my account for the 1st installment....
How long did the in-store thing take, and if may ask which documents was required when you went in?
Also, which store did you use, and did you get the phone immediately?

In store took me about 10 minutes (Eastgate). Took waaaaaaaaaay longer to get a dam cover from the useless MTN store there.

Just fetched my S8+ now after cancelling my phone order this morning. Wanted the S8 but they didn't have stock, and would only get a couple of weeks time and couldn't guarantee I'd still get the wireless charger... So S8+ it had to be. Wow, what a phone! Still busy setting up now, but the screen is quite something. Definitely getting a case for it soon though, it feels pretty darn slippery!
