I notice you had to charge right after 17:00 because you were at 20%.

100% correct hence I utterly hate this phone with everything I have. I hate Samsung.

I work on my phone so for me I need a screen on time that can handle 8 - 11 hours without having to charge.

Technology should be focused on creating a smartphone that can last 24 hours with 70% screen on time.

Buy the Lenovo P2.

You should try the Mate 9 then. I get an average of 8hours SOT. Battery is a killer on this thing.
 
This phone (S8+) is just WOW. Huge difference coming from a S6 Edge. Love the screen. Still busy setting it up.

What route are you guys taking wrt the launcher? Stock or Nova?

And I need a phone with wing mirrors and an ashtray built in.

But you don't get them.

Fscking Samsung should know what I want and give it to me. I don't want to do any research of course, but if they don't include it out of the box in the phone I choose to buy then I'll hate them for ever and cry on line like a baby.
 
Final update on my first day's battery life.

1 day 2 hours and 16 minutes.

5 hours and 18 minutes of screen on time.

10% battery left.

Has there been any word on exactly how the new international warranty works with the S8? No free screen replacements as I understand? Would it be best to insure the phone through a service provider or adding it to your existing insurance.

I don't plan on dropping the phone, but accidents do happen.
 
R849 on Cellc pinnacle 250 with a decent amount of data a month, 250min per month and 5000 wifi calling minutes..... Yes or no?

Any chance you could approach Craige Fleisher for follow up comments? As per the linked article: "Head of mobile for Samsung South and Southern Africa Craige Fleischer said Samsung will soon launch a global service which replaces ADH. Fleischer said they are currently finalising the commercial details of the new service ahead of the launch of the Galaxy S8 in South Africa."

The S8 is here. Whats the POA?

That follow up with Craige Fleisher would be nice.
 
Vodacom phoned today to confirm my delivery so I presume it will probably come on Monday then.

You will receive an SMS the morning of delivery.

Did you get the accessory kit for free, no R19pm funny business?
