Hi guys, long time user of the forums but only really decided to join up now. I hope you're all well.

I've got the S8+ and S8 about 3 weeks ago. I work for an agency that deals with Samsung and in return we were given 5-10 models all locked with GNU, KNOX and etc to basically just play around with and demo for our clients. I took 2 of them home and well, you already know, my friend ODIN came along lol.

Anyway, if any of you guys have any questions about It, feel free to ask. I'm currently trying my best to root it and code something up but to no avail.

Peace.

Welcome to XDA-Developers youngdagger! :good:

This phone was leaked to Hell & back & got a lot of coverage after the official announcement/introduction,so,probably not too many questions that haven't been answered.

Not a lot of in-depth reviews ATM,how 'bout sharing w/us your Pro/Con list & if any,odd peculiatities/something new not mentioned elsewhere.
Personal preference,the S8 OR S8+?
THX & again,Welcome To XDA-Developers!

Like others have mentioned, but also added a few of my own:

  • Battery life?
  • You prefer S8 or S8+?
  • Pros/Cons?
  • How's the camera? I know that it's also 12MP, like in the S7, but I do wonder about the improvements this time around?
  • I'm aware that the voice features for Bixby won't be working at launch, but how're the other features?
  • How accurate is the iris scanner?
  • Of the unlocking methods, which one is the fastest to unlock the device?
