Pundits on the web reckon this latest leak for the Galaxy S8 could be the real deal.

If true, it's going to be a shame to cover up some of that beautiful polished stainless with a case.

 

Looking again, could that be S8 or maybe S8 Edge?





Sometimes I just sit and think. Other times I just sit.

Really? Most pundits I've read tend to agree that's a mock up.

Rumour is that the flat screen option is gone, only curved will be on offer.

 

Headphone jack also rumoured to history as well )-:

I really doubt they'd remove the headphone jack only months after literally mocking apple. It would guarantee I never buy another Samsung devices.

10000000000000% disagree. 

 

Hardware buttons one of the only reasons I bought Samsung the past few years. SO convenient.

 

Plenty of devices around without them, buy one of those and leave my hardware buttons alone.

Doesn't look sleek as a black iPhone though. I mean if one were to judge a phone by its looks... A bit bling for my liking

I feel the same way about my 3.5mm headphone jack.

 

We should both prepare to be disappointed.

I am an audiophile (sort of) and I am not worried about the headphone jack, it's convenient. My issue is that everyone will end up with a different standard for headphones. Apple will use lightning and Samsung USB-C. It's a PITA

Shall I start laughing now, or when you buy your next Samsung?

I thought the same way, until I used a phone without it for more than a month.

 

 

 

I'm quite happy never using a samsung phone again. POS's

Pfft, please qualify what makes them POS?
