Just reading some online rumors about the development of the New Galaxy S8 and the newest rumor out today says it will have a variant (called the Galaxy s8 plus) with a 6 inch screen and it is going to replace the Note line of phablets. Is this true or do you think the Note line can survive the problems of the N7. I love my N5 and want to stay in the Note series when I do need to upgrade
I really don't care. If the s8 plus has an spen and all the features of the note line then I'll get the s8 plus

True
Did you get the Galaxy Note 8
Did you go something different? (Galaxy S7 Edge, LG V30, Pixel 2 XL, etc)
Or - Do you still have the Galaxy Note 7?
I got the Galaxy Note 8.
S7 Edge. Have gotten to where I don't miss the S Pen much. Looked at the Note 8 and found it a bit awkward to hold. If I didn't have the S7E I'd probably buy the Note 8, but as an upgrade I wouldn't even spend $200, and I'd have to replace all the cases I use in different circumstances. The few things I don't like about the S7E are not improved in the N8.
what do you think?
The UI and overall performance is much better on Huawei devices. Samsung is laggy still on the Note 8.
this comparison between mate 10 and Samsung galaxy s8+
Fun little story. I lacked the money for the Huawei Mate 10 and Huawei doesn't offer credit lines/monthly payments.
Samsung does, however. I bought a friend's Note 5 for $100 and used it for the $300 trade in credit with Samsung. Used the monthly payment option and got a Galaxy S8+ for $500 ($20 a month) plus a free wireless fast charger. Sold both on Swappa to fund my eventual Huawei Mate 10.

Hit thanks if u found this thread useful..
Anyone from India planning to buy the s9 or s9+? The leaked prices are very high for both the models as base model s9 could cost anywhere between 64-67k and s9+ could go as high as 80k.

I want to......... but anything above 60k is a no go for me. I think samsung would be shooting itself in the foot with those prices....
I would be considering the nokia-9 or pixel 2 xl if the price ain't right....
Pre-booking in India Started. You've to pay 2000!
Here is the link : https://shop.samsung.com/in/mobiles-wearables/mobiles/galaxy-s9-s9plus.html
Did anyone pre-book it ?
I did not. I am actually waiting for Flipkart. It will have some offers from the bank or some free goodies or discount on other Samsung Gadgets. So, waiting for that.
They will probably start Pre-booking in March 1st Week.

I just pre-booked it. They said you can change your order or back out if the offer / price is not right when they do launch the prices.
I have the S8.. i am not sure if it is enough an upgrade.. if I do go for it.. I will get the S9+ this time.. and I am inclined towards the coral blue color
I pre booked s9+ Lilac Purple, expecting the 64 gig model to be around 80k

Those dicount prices are amazing and even less than s8/s8+ launch prices. I think i might just get s9 though i dont really feel like an upgrade over s8+

Those are dealer prices and not discounted prices.
I currently have a Note 8 and hoping most of the new software features are ported to it.
The one feature that is tempting me to upgrade to a S9+ is the stereo speakers setup (the single speaker on the Note 8 is rather pathetic, especially when compared to some HTC and Sony phones with dual front-facing speakers). Has anyone come across reviews or YouTube videos that compare the S9/ S9+ speakers to other models? I am not sure how good they will sound since one speaker is front-firing and the other bottom-firing -- that is a rather odd setup.
Also, hoping that with credit card cashback and buyback offer on the Note 8, the S9+ price will work out to be palatable.
i am hoping i can sell my Pixel 2 XL in OLX/Quickr and buy an S9+

If this is posted elsewhere let me know.
I just purchased Tab S8 11 inch which will arrive Sunday.
I also found a S7 Samsung keyboard cover used - very good condition for $41 on Amazon Warehouse. I purchased this but just curious if anyone is familiar with whether it will work with the S8. (I can always return it if not.)
Also, is their a difference between the S7 keyboard cover with touch pad and the newer S8 keyboard with touch pad model?
Thanks in advance.
Have a tab s7 keyboard case on my tab s8. It's what Samsung sent as my pre-order bonus and it fits/works perfectly. From what I've seen tab s8 and tab s7 cases are the same. Just make sure it's the 11 inch for s7 and not the plus model.

Thank you for the feedback! Very good to know.
If the product description is correct, I should get the "used - very good" condition S7 keyboard on Monday. I'll be the judge of that though.
