Yup. Agree. Don't know how to describe the sound stage, all I can say is it sounds very sweet and makes you wear it for a longer period of time without giving any discomfort. And that sound cancellation is just awesome, completely blocks out almost all the noise. These are the go to headphones if you are on a flight or train. Yeah price is a bit more but after using it for 3 months, I am completely satisfied.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sourabh.note:
That's sick man! nice!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hiemanshu:
Yeah. I use them for 8+ hours a day.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sourabh.note:
Good to know there are some audiophiles out there!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:
Comfort is one thing Bose is best along with noise cancellation

I have tried and returned/sold several great sounding headphones just bvoz I cannot wear them for long

What the use of great sounding headphones if you can't wear them for long
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hiemanshu:
Maybe it's just me but I returned a pair of QC25 because they were uncomfortable for long periods of time.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sourabh.note:
I was going to get the QC35 at the start of this year. But I was in a dilemma over this. You can't turn off the noise cancellation unless the battery is totally depleted, right?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:
Well... try the qc35 i am sure they will be best comfort for you

---------- Post added at 12:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:09 AM ----------

You can now check the lill brother qc30 in Bose stores it has adjustable noise cancellation
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sourabh.note:
Thanks man.. But I just depleted all my money when I bought the S8+.. :p

Will certainly check those out when I actually have the money, lol
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] badelemental:
Actually due to active noise cancellation you might experience a bit of air pressure like sensation but you will get used to it in a day or so. But once You get used to it, there's no going back. For me it is super comfortable. Can't say the same for V-Moda M100 or any other earbuds or earphones I tried. But as always it's just a personal preference.

---------- Post added at 08:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:42 PM ----------

Yeah, it's always on. But you will get used to it. Even it got a software update lol :D
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:
Try it in Bose store when u get a chance those 2 are just awesome
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hiemanshu:
I might get a QC20 when I travel

:laugh:

S8 is not good in my view

Spending this much amount for s8 I feel not good

So I will see what Sammy brings in note 8

Used S5 for almost 2+ so need something new with more features this time :silly:
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] swapy12:
​

S8 is already a very good upgrade from s5. But if you want S pen then you can wait for note 8.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] praveen6585:
The last 4 pages makes it seem like a headphones thread and not an S8 thread :p

I have preordered for a black Galaxy S8 for my wife, Spigen Liquid Air from Tekkitake (as they are giving 15% off on their site - use code TEKKITAKE15) and Gadget Shieldz (use code PROTECT10 for 10% off). Now the wait begins ...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:
That's bcoz the phone is not available to talk about
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sourabh.note:
Ruining it for those who are buying the s8. Great job!

Just kiddin'. At first, even I thought that 65k was a huge amount to spend. But then I decided to go for it anyways, LOL!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hiemanshu:
Any decent phone and support is expensive in India. Its still cheaper than a Pixel or iPhone though, and much much better than those. I just want a device that looks like S8+ with Pixel's software.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sourabh.note:
I like the Samsung UI on Nougat, so I don't mind. Even didn't root Note 4, since I couldn't find a reason to.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:
This time Samsung pay is biggest reason not to root

However I do liked samung kept stock UI but gave option for themes

And they didn't take away imp stock features like do not disturb with option to keep it for few hours or till next alarm ... Etc
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sourabh.note:
Totally. Samsung had so many features even before google implemented it in android. That's why never felt the urge to root since Note 4.

The only phones I rooted were the original Note, and then the S4.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:
Yes

And any news from kannan or anyone if things will move fast and we get delivery sooner

What do you think of the Alcantara cover for the S8/S8+?

Link to Samsung shop -

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:
Looks cool and different but no covers for me for few weeks at least
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hiemanshu:
No covers? Not scared of breaking ****?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] silentwitness1:
looks nice but not worth 3k. Much nicer covers available from spigen. like the below

https://www.tekkitake.com/collections/galaxy-s8/products/spigen-galaxy-s8-case-neo-hybrid
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:
Yes I don't cover new phones just a leather pouch when kept in pocket
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sourabh.note:
Yep. I'm not going to buy a cover either. Just wanted opinions from members here.

Gonna use it naked!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hiemanshu:
Ahhh. I hate leather and the leather smell.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sourabh.note:
Covers made of materials other than TPU just hide the beauty of the phone in my opinion.

The case looks sturdy though.. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:
It's actually fake leather .. it's generic pouch which I use for any phones in my pocket
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrjoy:
How long i can pre order the s8 to avail free wireless charger?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hiemanshu:
I just walked to the Samsung Cafe near my office. There's a prebooking cost of 2k, and shipment is expected around 12th May or so. The prebooking is around 1.3L or so it seems. Black colors are even more later.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:
Which city ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hiemanshu:
Bangalore.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:
If delivery is delayed on 5th may it's nonsense at least for pre booking customers
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hiemanshu:
No no, this is for the next round. The first round was meant to be for only 1L devices or so. Next round started yesterday, and expected date is 12th May.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sourabh.note:
Might be next lot of phones. If its a delay for us early pre-orderers and I'm gonna have to wait this time around too, I'm gonna implode.

---------- Post added at 04:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:20 PM ----------

Good lord. Thanks for the clarification.

---------- Post added at 04:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:22 PM ----------

I check my Samsung account's 'My orders' page thrice everyday, secretly expecting it to change the status from 'processing' to 'shipped'.:silly::p
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hiemanshu:
Its the same for me. I do it like 10 times I guess? But someone here said that they got an SMS for an online shop order before it changed to processing.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] divyanshu jain:
Hey guys, what abouy the red screen issue, do you think we will face that in India as well?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:
It's as good as asking if s8 will explode like note 7 LOL
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] abthegreat:
Makes sense, Flipkart is out of stock for the non gold variants.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hiemanshu:
Wonder why samsung online shop still says shipping starts from 1st May, 2017.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:
Bcoz they will start shipping from 1st ... Samsung should give preference to it's online store else no point using Flipkart and their store also
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] abthegreat:
They are carrying the stocks low for midnight black line for ages now, their inventory system must be even more lacklustre than the online shop lol

Unless they stop taking orders soon, I highly doubt they will start shipping from the 1st.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hiemanshu:
Its possible they're just saying "We'll start shipping only after the 1st of May"
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] abthegreat:
True, they also indicate with a * preorder with us for early delivery ! Delivery on or after 5th of May is not early by any definition.

How does the free charger offer work for those who receive preorders after the 8th ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:
Pre order ends 4th
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] abthegreat:
Going back a few posts someone mentioned 12th delivery for recently placed preorders, which means no freebies for them ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:
Official pre order ends 4th so any order placed after that will be normal order
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hiemanshu:
I think they'll have different one for non online orders. The guy at the store told me there is still a free wireless charger with the order.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] divyanshu jain:
Actually, It is mentioned in the T&C's that you are supposed to register for samsung pay till 8 th of may to get the wireless charger, now the problem is those who pre ordered after 24 th april will likely be getting the phone on 12 th may or later, so the question arises will the free charger be provided.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] abthegreat:
Its technically not free but a Samsung Pay signup bonus, yet more marketing fluff from Samsung India.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:
Doesn't matter how it comes until its free
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] yash92duster:
Hey bro:silly:

I have pre ordered galaxy S8 Gold variant:D

It will be delivered by 12th may it seems

If it comes by 5th it self they will deliver they said;)

I used s8+ again and I did not feel comfortable with it

At first it may be good but after few weeks we will start to feel the pain reaching the notification panel in s8+

So went with the smaller beast :cool:

Note 8 will surely be same size as s8+ or even more larger so that plan dropped:(
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] amankapoor4:
Just delivered in Switzerland, should be with me on the weekend.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sourabh.note:
That's a great question. Xda is going to award you for the best question of this forum. Congrats.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] divyanshu jain:
Lol?, actually that's the only think holding me from pre booking, anyways gonna do it tw.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Qwerty123 \m/:
How will this work? Planning on buying the S8+ tomorrow. Also, how does EMI work if I'm buying ona debit card? First time purchase.

Do they deduct from available balance every month? What if my balance is low for a month?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sourabh.note:
EMIs are applicable only for credit cards, not for debit card. If you want to buy the phone with a debit card, you need to pay the full amount at the time of pre-order/purchase.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] divyanshu jain:
Hey, I don't think you can do emi's with a debit card, you will need a credit card .
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Pd1985:
S8+ red tint

Again went to a store to check out s8+ seems the redness tint issue was there but not very visible .

YouTube videos are full of redness tint comparison but it's only properly visible when we compare it with other AMOLED display , shops here have only 1 demo piece so cannot compare it with other s8+ , but compared it with S7 edge demo and the screen did showed warmer colors ( slight reddish), the salesman told me it's not an issue and Samsung will fix it , just hope that India stocks do not face such issues .It's an excellent phone with an exorbitant price here in India , just hope Samsung fixes the issue before we get the delivery of our phones as it is we in India here are paying premium price than other countries.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] yash92duster:
I compared s8 and s8+ side by side yesterday night and I did not see any red tint

Both screens here in Chennai samsung store was good :cowboy:

We will get fresh stock for India for sure
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] n2851991m:
If this is your first time purchase, I would suggest you go to a samsung store and check out the devices first. If you have done that, and are sure what version you want to buy (s8 or s8+) try to order from flipkart using a friend's credit card (if he/she has the balance to spare) only for the 0% EMI. Looking at all the forum threads, I am afraid it's a little too late for the pre order now considering almost everything is out of stock.

(Most of us pre ordered for the free wireless charger anyways. And also for an earlier delivery, but booking it now that's out of the question)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Pd1985:
Hope we get perfect screens in India , here in Mumbai most of shops as well as Samsung cafes only have s8+ for demo. , They don't have the regular s8 for demo. , Hence was comparing it with S7 edge display , just hope you are right and Samsung does everything right this time , in case if any issue or red tint I am very sure Samsung India service centre will suck like always by not even acknowledging that there is any issue with the device .
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] n2851991m:
Ignoring the issue will be a little difficult for Sammy this time around. Considering the hype and media attention the company and phone has after the Note7. But yes you have a point. Whether I decide to spend my next 50k on Samsung depends on how they treat me now.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:
Hahaha these questions remind us of someone ... Isn't it ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hiemanshu:
They've already said that they'll issue an update to fix some of the wireless issues and the red tint issue.

Is gadget shieldz screen protector case friendly?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] praveen6585:
I hope so.. they have not mentioned anything specifically but it is definitely better than the current crop of tempered glass screens that are available for curved screens.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Pd1985:
Yes I am aware if that ,it's only that some YouTubers ( like Erica Griffin) says that reducing the red balance to get perfect whites will work but might mess up with display calibration

( personally I have no idea if it messes with the display calibration) and the phone has to be in adaptive display only to use it , other modes won't work for color balance change. (She recommends​ to change the phone ) as we all know how cooperative Samsung India is .

Let's hope there won't be any issue at all with our devices :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sourabh.note:

Where are people getting delivery estimates from?

I pre-ordered the S8+ Midnight Black on 24th morn, on the Samsung site. The status is showing as "processing" and I don't see any tentative shipping date mentioned for my order.

Wondering if I will be shipped on May 1 as part of the first batch, or on May 12 as the second batch...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:
It cannot be before US anyways, even it's by end of this month then thanks to Samsung but as per their record they do lots of delay
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrjoy:
How much...any hint?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:
Look at s7 edge it should be similar
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrjoy:
Hi yash. Have u any planned to buy s8 & its development :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sourabh.note:
There will always be a promotional offer for pre-orders. Why will people pre-order otherwise..

Samsung's drop trend in India has changed. Price drop happens only after 4-6 months even in normal retail shops. Samsung's site doesn't give discount. Samsung cafe might give discount if u insist.

All in all, even if u pre-order or buy after 4-6 months, the total value of the stuff u get will be the same.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] yash92duster:
Im planning for s8

But first meed to see if price is good

If high price then i will wait 5 or 6 months and buy after some price cut:silly:

Development

If i buy s8 i will do something:laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrjoy:
Have you selected s8 or plus?

If you wait for 5-6 month then there will be Note 8 too.:o
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] yash92duster:
im not fan of note series

note 8 may be 6.4 inch

so it will be a huge one:silly::silly:

i prefer s8 5.8 is good

s8 looks comfortable
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:
In India pre order has not yet started so u cannot do that now

Suggest you wait a few days for it to open
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrjoy:
May be note 8 gets 6gb ram with more bigger battery & it would have S pen too.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] yash92duster:
4gb is enough

If n8 has 6.4 inch then it should have atleast 4500 or 5000mah then will get n8

But not big fan of huge size :silly:

Im ready for s8 will wait and buy if all good
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dj_richard05:
I'm sure they will keep a battery no more than 3600 - 4000 mah.. They will be extra cautious with the note series this year.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:
Haha yeah they don't want it to blow again :)

And probably they might delay note series this time since s8+ size is similar to it just minus s pen
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sourabh.note:
Someone should probably start a Galaxy S8+ Indian Thread in the S8+ forum.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:

I said I will get it on 12th itself

No hurry :p

Delay in delivery if happens has got nothing to do with tint issue

For tint they already mentioned they will issue OTA
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hiemanshu:
