ok, so I went to Samsung store to check what the red tint issue is and it seems it only happens when you turn on bluelight filter.... From my experience, it is similar to Night mode under Live display in Android with adaptive light turned off

May be my encounter was with a "normal" S8, I dont know

Same story on S8+ which was available in the store
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] silentwitness1:
yup agreed, Im just hoping i get the phone 2nd. I pre-ordered it before the pre-orders had started also. Fingers crossed they get the stocks and the information to release it to us on 2nd.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] abhisheak.bansal:
Thanks they did sent me the screenshot and it showed s8+.

At least I have whatsapp chat proof now if anything goes south.

Anyway guys can you recommend some screen guard, I used s7e naked and it have few scratches that effect the display.

I have ordered gadgetshieldz full body screen protector. Heard they are good.

Also they are from india, so we get delivery fast.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] badelemental:
Yeah me too. Using that on my S7 edge and it's the only screen guard which fits the curved edges perfectly and works flawlessly with a case.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] PG101:
I ordered this cover, but for about 150rs (aliexpress).. it looks good.. haven't recd yet.. expected arrival mid may.. let's see.. I already have 2 s line tpu cases and screen protectors.. one tempered and the other one from gadget shield..

I ordered it directly from their Indian website.

Does anyone know the exact procedure for getting the free Wireless Charger (Pre-booking offer)? I have pre-ordered from Flipkart, and the procedure in the T&C is a bit confusing.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] abthegreat:
1. Receive Phone

2. Open Samsung Pay

3. Check promotions and add eligible card

4. Post adding card you will receive a promo code

5. Use promo code on Samsung Online Shop and pray that you receive your charger in a reasonable time

*Must be completed by the 8th of May and using the same number used while ordering the device.

I booked my midnight s8 , through my insider source come to know that delivery commence from 15 may. Fingers crossed:confused:

May 2nd is tentative release date, must complete the steps before 8th. I hope Flipkart is planning to deliver quickly.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] abthegreat:
Most models which are not sold out now, had a delivers by Thursday the 4th for my Zipcode. They still do for the Gold and Coral Blue S8/+
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] NotResponding22:
I have booked S8 Midnight Black, I didn't get any delivery date though.. just says 'Tentative release date 2 May'

Edit: It's been sold out for about a while now but I booked it on 23rd April.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mayank shekhar:
Received a new message from Samsung, with revised terms and conditions for getting the wireless charger. The 8th may deadline has been removed and the user now needs to login/signup on My Galaxy app using the same mobile number and has to do it by 30th May.

Not sure why samsung is giving so much trouble to claim the wireless charger? Why can't just claim using simple OTP on registered mobile number and IMEI combination?

Pre-ordered the Samsung Galaxy S8(midnight black) through Flipkart and it shows that the product will be shipped by May 2nd and will be delivered by May 3rd. :) Eagerly waiting ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] NotResponding22:
They could've just included it in the shipment.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] abthegreat:
Good on Flipkart, hope the Samsung Webstore sticks to the same timeline.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] h3llboy911:
So other than the gadget shieldz, is there any good screen protector out there that you guys have ordered?

Last time when I had bought gadgetshieldz for the galazy s6 edge, the experience didn't turn out pretty well. It's a wet screen protector and relatively difficult to apply. Microbubbles may remain. Also it has a very rubbery feel to it which I didn't like.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] antisocialbratt:
Finally!!!!!

Got the most awaited text in the evening that your S*+ has been shipped. Ran to the app to check from where it is shipped and lucky me, it is shipped from bangalore and i am in bangalore. Should get it tomorrow. Surprising thing is that I'm not part of Select8 contest and yet getting it so early.:cowboy:

Anyone else who ordered from flilkart got it shipped today ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] amankapoor4:
Guys i was in reliance today in inorbit Mall, the guy confirmed everyone who pre-book with them will get the phone on 2nd, so if some one is extremely eager and badly wants the phine you have this option in bangalore.

Anyone want to buy a Spigen ThinFit case for S8+ then send me a PM. I got a unused extra one which i bought till my cases from Alibaba arrive. Now that i recieved those cases this morning, dont reallly need spigen case. I'll give at a better price than Amazon ;)

i went to the samsung store today at herra panna and they still are saying earliest 5th may. Anyone else from bombay pre ordered the phone and got information of delivery 2nd?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] vin4yak:
I too pre-ordered it on 19th April from Hyderabad but haven't received any confirmation yet :(
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] NotResponding22:
I did it on 23rd, no confirmation either. :(
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nishant786:
2nd May afternoon, confirmed for me in New Bombay. Have ordered 1 Gold S8 and 2 Black S8+. He is 1000% sure about Gold, and 99.9% sure about Black.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:
What about blue..I would go for blue if black is not there on 2nd
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nishant786:
Blue and Gold will both be available. Also if you have a good relationship with your dealer, then he may give you blue (My dealer told my brother if black doesn't come then hell give him Gold if he wants on 2nd). Else you need to book Blue today or you wont get on 2nd.

Ps. im very sure all 3 colours will be available for first bookers on 2nd. Samsung is just creating hype.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:
Someone said in telegram group that it's available in stores in Bangalore .. any idea about other cities guys
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] swapy12:
Just called samsung cafe from where i pre booked. He told me i will get it late evening on 2nd or 3rd morning for sure.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] krumbs:
Lucky you! Even I am in New Bombay (Sanpada), but have got zero updates from Samsung eStore on the delivery date! Where did you pre-order from?

---------- Post added at 12:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:12 PM ----------

I am yet to get the S8+ and I already felt a pang of buyer's remorse after reading this story!

https://www.sammobile.com/2017/04/27/hong-kong-to-get-unlocked-galaxy-s8-with-6gb-ram/

Seems HK will get the unlocked 6GB RAM/ 128GB storage version end of May! :(

I guess it will go up on eBay pretty soon after that and if the pricing is sweet, importing it might be a great idea...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] swapy12:

I think it'll be delivered by 2nd may.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:
Which city u ordered from ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] twisted_mind:
Preordered the coral blue S8+ from a samsung store here in mumbai just now :)

Quick question, does the indian box package come with the micro usb to type c convertor as well? I know no indian customer may have the actual delivery yet but thought of just confirming.

Reason being i'm heavily invested in top of the line anker powerline micro usb cables that i don't want to use the generic 150/- no name type c adapters with (from online ecommerce sites).

I saw a few unboxing videos on youtube and they all seem to come with a type c cable + a micro usb to type c adapter.

If yes this would be perfect for me as i can leave the type c cable plugged into the wall and have the type c adapter on my anker cables on the move with a powerbank.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] NotResponding22:
Is it like that people who ordered before get the device early too?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] abhigupta7:
Just a quick question guys

I booked the black galaxy s8

What if i change it to the s8+ will my prebook and its offer stand as it is or will it not be applicable

Online u have to cancel and pre book again ... In stores just request the guy to give u another color if available to him

He spoke to the Mumbai distributor on loudspeaker in front of me. That guy said it was fake. When my guy pointed out that Samsung India had tweeted it, as well as the Flipkart executive, that guy had no response.

But he confirmed 2nd may evening for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:
What was fake ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nishant786:
He felt the tweet was fake.

Samsung had assured the distrubutor (he was under pressure from local shops) that the local shops will get stock same day as Flipkart.

I am a victim of Note 7 so no import this time

Do update us on dates and pre order offer for India
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sourabh.note:
Yeah.. If I know anything, I will update it here. 7th April ftw!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sourabh.note:
Okay, so today morning the Samsung guy called me. Told me pre-orders will be starting from the 10th of April. He sounded pretty confident about the date this time (Unlike the time during Note 7 pre-orders). And he will update me on the other pre-order info as soon as he gets it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:
Cool so samung India will not launch s8 this time in India formally and then pre order to start ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] allyrocky:
thanks.. any info on the delivery date ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] linom:
Does your S7 edge gives you good battery life? How much of SOT approx? I moved away from sammy after S4 due to heavy battery drain. But S8 looks promising and almost plan to buy it. Got a Honor now.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sourabh.note:
I have no idea. I'm taking everything the Samsung guy tells me with a grain of salt. After all, they had no idea about anything when I had pre-ordered the Note 7.

About the delivery, I' hoping the delivery will be at par with international shipping. I hate it when they launch it late in India. So I'm hoping the atleast the offline pre-orderers will get their hands on their S8s by 21st/28th April. The online pre-orders in India get shipped on the launch day and hence, are delivered after 4-5 days.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:
Note 7 issue was different hence dealers were having no clue but s8 should not be that case this time

And yeah they should make it available in India at same time as international most importantly now that they make in India these phones
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sourabh.note:
Yes, it does. SOT depends upon how you use the phone. Web browsing and normal texting and stuff gives me 6-7 hours normally. Even on 4G.

Whereas, heavy gaming drains like 15-18% per hour. So even if I game for about 3 hours, I get around 5-5.5 hours.

Hell, I even got SOT up to 8.5-9 hours on some days. But that was when the phone was new.

When I had the S4, I experienced some serious battery drain too. Couldn't go one day one one charge.

---------- Post added at 07:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:13 PM ----------

Yeah, fingers crossed!:fingers-crossed:

Also, the guy told me that their S8/S8+ training will be on the 6th itself. No change of date for that.

Btw, pre-orders in Canada are going to get delivered by the 17th it seems.

Here's the link to Sammobile's article -

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:
Well these buggers Samsung India has absolutely no reason to delay in India since they are getting huge subsidy from indian govt to make in India and they don't even drop price for customers here

At least they should make it available asap here
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sourabh.note:
Lol.

We pay the same amount, or sometimes even more for the same device. We get less offers compared to US, and still get the phones late.

Anyways, that's a discussion for the time when we get confirmed date for S8/S8+ release. No reason to bash Samsung right now. :laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:
Actually that's the biggest reason to bash Samsung

Anyways let's see what they do this time with launch
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sourabh.note:
True that.

Also, I'm glad they kept the 3.5mm headphone jack. Can use any of my headphones with it. I'm itching to sell my iphone 7.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:
O yes that concept of removing 3.5mm jack is just horrible

Chor apple is doing to sell their stupid expensive adapters but don't understand why android phones doing it

Great move by samsung

Except fingerprint placement all looks perfect with s8 plus unless it's explodes ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sourabh.note:
Yeah man. I'd gotten used to the fingerprint scanner on the front.

Although we could use the iris scanner instead of the fingerprint scanner.

Just a bit concerned about the battery life. My power bank is dying so gotta get a new one anyways.

Are you planning on getting any accessories?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:
Well I don't use case but would be interested in getting that new VR as president order gift

Apart from that no plans as of now

Yeah battery seems less and I will get s8 plus which may consume even more but let's see how optimised is TouchWiz

And better keep less battery that explod it
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sourabh.note:
Yeah, if the pre-order offer has the new gear VR included, I will be happy. I'm going tpo use the phone naked most of the time too.

Plus, an Aukey 20k/30k mAH power bank.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:
U can try mi power bank which has fast charging also...I wanted to try that also
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sourabh.note:
I'm not sure about brands like MI/Honor/Lenovo. Haven't tried them at all.

Also, I just stumbled upon a good S8 video. The link is in the OP of this thread -
