I can trade in my Samsung galaxy 6 for this one!

4. No Bezel means that there is more screen space!

5. This phone is supposed to have a better camera, be slimmer, be lighter and have more features

6. Every review I read said that Bixby was not very good; didn’t work well. I don’t really care about Bixby one way or the other!

8. Does anyone ever understand what these technical specifications mean? ☺

10. Pricing and Improvements
S8 is $760 or $32 per month. S8+ is $870 or $37 per month. (may vary depending on your credit) If I want to trade-in my S6, I can pay less per month.
Speaking with the salesman at Verizon (in Russell Cellular in Magnolia), he told me that the charger is different with the S8 than the S6; battery life is longer.
When I asked about the bixby, I was told that it recognizes landmarks, you can ask it questions or give it orders like Siri, and that it’s compatible with other devices such as echo.
The home button is now virtual instead of an actual button since the phone has no bezel.
