I felt I explained it clearly enough that I was talking about the screen so would be pressing on the screen. Anyway to avoid the ambiguity, yes, I mean when I grab the phone with my thumb on the front of the glass and fingers on the back then I noticed the click - which related to the pressure...

I think the only way to test is to take the otterbox and screen protector off. I haven't returned it yet as i don't want the hassle. Also I have had a full day of use and interestingly the clicking has gone. I am not sure if it is because it is up to temperature and has flexed in to place. I...

To clarify - this is a bare phone with no protective case or tempered screen. When applying pressure (relatively light to medium) the clicking occurs. It is toward the centre of the screen and my description is that it sounds like the glass screen is trying to stick to the digitizer but the...

Don't get me wrong - I don't drop £800 on a phone I don't really want. But that also means it needs to feel right on. My concern about the clicky screen issue is in case this is likely to cause problems down the line. Currently since I'm only in by a week I have retailer returns in my locker...

I feel vindicated from feeling like a mad man. I am going to record the noise and then consider requesting another exchange. Trouble for me is that I am happy with the screen whiteness/red levels so don't want to jump back into that frying pan. Do you think it is something from the rear or...

Any body having any build issues? After pink tint - I thought I picked a decent phone. Just noticed a few times today (having only used the phone lightly for a few hours) that when I pick it up from the middle of the screen I can hear and audible click as if I'm pressing the glass onto the...

So I've received my S8+ second one after a tiny scratch on the first - but allowed me the chance to compare and see the pink-tint-gate issue myself (it's real). A while ago I ditched my Axon 7 - lovely phone, excellent price but ultimately the call quality and ear piece sound was bad plus it...

Pretty damning statement there. What is it you SSO dislike? I've just sent my s8+ because of some tiny scratches on it from factory. I did notice the screen stuttering on youtube but I'm going to stick it out. Hopefully updates will sort these. Anybody got any comments on call quality/strength...

Just an update for those who might find it useful - I went in to the Samsung store and spent an hour with both devices (I wanted to leave with a clear decision of S8 or S8+). I have 'normal' (!) sized hands I guess and I found the S8 to be a perfect size - easy to get across the device. The...

How does it feel in hand? I think I've held the S7 edge and that felt like a nice size - given that the S8+ is the same width I feel like that would be a reason to change from my S8 (albeit £90 for a marginal bit of extra screen and battery is difficult to reconcile). PS - what store - I might...

This one illustrates my main issue with the S8 and why I'm tempted to go with the S8+ (this is an S8 up against a OnePlus 3T) I know you can do screen stretching but the fact is you will distort/crop into the intended visual Borrowed from this dude: https://youtu.be/AxStsKhefTk...

Just interest free. Hence £770 just seems a bridge too far for a phone (hell £689 seems a lot to me) - that said I currently have a S3 (i9300) :o I am being suckered into tech again and trying to buy the latest (= the greatest).

I'm going to check it out tomorrow - I didn't realise they had them in stores to look at (London). I think the new screen size is a sneaky numbers game. I've always hated on screen home/back/nav. To me that is just using up pixels for no reason. In thinking about this taller display I am...

I bought the S8 from very - ETA 20 April. Though currently driving myself bonkers thinking I should have got the S8+. But I'm not a heavy phone user ie, games and other shiz. Price is a bit of a killer for me. Now if I change it for the S8+ I will have to wait til 8 May!

Do you know what the width of the screen measures on the Axon 7? I am in two minds on the S8+ (I've ordered the S8). By using the 'proper' diagonal dimensions the screen is of course bigger than the Axon 7 but I wonder if the S8 will feel narrower/or indeed if it actually is. I am worried...
