Yes, got the 0% EMI deal and I have registered for the wireless charger. Nothing extra from the store though.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dpk1:
Demonstrate your issue to a nearby samsung service centre. If the service engineer is convinced he/she will take your device with box and issue a DOA certificate. You can take that with sealed box and replace that with a new one at the store you purchased your phone.

If you got it online then just send it back stating your issue clearly on the website (with a photo if you can).

Be warned, not to do this if the issue is negligible/bearable, as you can have several other issues with your new device too! Good luck!

Woke up to read an sms from Savex that my Alcantara case is on it's way...Already in mumbai so should get it today :)

I went coral blue for the S8+ and it looks super stunning. Personally after using a matt black 7 Plus, the midnight black S8/+ just doesn't feel all that appealing. The finger smudges are downright disgusting on the midnight black in my opinion looking/playing with the demo units at the store.

Coral Blue has this electric vibe about it that's hard to beat.

Went gold with the S6 and S7 edge.... gold's too gaudy and just not in for me anymore. Silver is also nice which is what the wife has on her S7 edge. So nice change this time round. If you have any doubts let me know i can post pics. :)

Hey Guys !

I wanted help for 2 things:

1. Has anyone found a way to edit the edge lighting colours? Different colours for diff contacts/ applications.?

2. Has anyone found a way to change the LED Notification light? For example we assign different colours for different contacts / applications?

I just got my new Galaxy S8 midnight black colour yesterday. I'll be honestly disappointed if it doesn't have this feature.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] vvijkumar:
Cancelling is not a option at Samsung store. It will take more than 15 days to cancel if they are even willing to and you have some genuine reason for the cancellation .I had faced that issue and they only cancelled the order after writing to CEO of Samsung including a bunch of senior management in cc list.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] testimony:
Wow! Seems like I made a mistake then. I guess my only option is to wait till 12th then. I will have my genuine reason then. Seems unfair that they have no solid information on order statuses though. 'processing' doesn't cut it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] vvijkumar:
Haha.. Even then You will told by CC that they have escalated the issue with concerned team(they will not tell which team, A lot of grilling in previous conversations one revealed that its Fulfillment team) and will be asked to wait 24-48 "business hours" for a response which will never come and how far even the CC can help you out in cancellation until response comes.

I after waiting for a week or so snapped out regular drama of calling them and they responding with age old reply of again adding a remainder to concerned team and asking me to wait for 24-48 hours ; bugged ceo for 2 days continuously with cancellation request mails one in morning and one in evening .Even though I haven't got any response for mails to CEO things started moving and my order was cancelled in actual 24-48 hours :D
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] testimony:
Seems like your order was delivered though. Did you talk to anyone specific for it? Doesn't seem like that Samsung wouldn't want to deliver but maybe it's the time that they'll take to ship that's pushing my buttons
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] vvijkumar:
It showing complete but the package is due for delivery today by 8 pm with fedex and thats a completely different order than previous one -the cancelled order.I havent spoke to anyone regarding new order,May be the person handling the orders Remembered me :p and shipped it fast :confused: :D
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tamila:
Goto samsung service center neaby your place and ask for charger. They should have original charger and price will be decent.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] testimony:
Hahaha...I guess waiting with the others is what I should do at this point. If there's no update by next week's beginning, I'll jump through hoops if I have to get it cancelled

I stopped buying Samsung Mobiles 4 years ago due to all the bloatware and even Android was not as good as iOS, i was even little hesitating a bit before buying S8+ but i was even bored of same iOS so wanted to give Android another try, but now i can that Samsung has really changed, until now the touchwiz was like bloatware but in S8 i'm finding all the addons from Samsung really useful, this is the first Android mobile that i find which can beat iOS and i can use this mobile out of the box without installing custom ROM or rooting it

All the pre-installed softwares in S8+ are really usefull

Good job Samsung for providing a mobile that can be used out of the box

Thank you for buying a Samsung product.

All I can say is its an inherent flaw of the AMOLED process, luck of the draw basically. Because the screen is so long i have a feeling it is unavoidable. You will have some colour shift either left to right or top to bottom in this case.

Guys.. my bixby started acting weird! When i press the bixby button more than once with screen off.. unlock the screen and use auto rotate on any app (chrome, gallery etc).. bixby goes mad! The bixby screen keeps flashing on top of the app in landscape mode! Only way to fix this is to restart the phone.

I haven't tampered with the stock rom except disabling a few stock apps and updating bixby. Anyone else noticed this?

Hello Friends,

I'm planning to buy S8/S8+. Yesterday i saw S8+ in one of the mobile showroom. Phone looks very good (display is awesome) but little big for me . ( I may mostly go with S8 ). I have few questions to my friends in this thread who already received and using this mobile. I have OP3 now and wish to upgrade it

1. How does S8 look and feel? ( S8+'s overall dimension is little bigger than OP3 I knew its battery capacity is less (3000 Mah ) when compared to S8+ . How is the battery back-up in S8?

2. Main camera is awesome and better than OP3 but the selfie camera is not so impressive (again i'm comparing with same 8MP camera of OP3) & not sure whether it is the problem with that demo phone or...

3. Is this mobile worth upgrading from OP3? if so which one should i go S8/S8+? ( I'm more concern now on seeing the picture quality of selfie camera )

Help me guys...

Thanks

S.Santhosh

Oppo is a very normal phone. Selfie camera on s8 is great with auto focus. It's the best I think oh the world.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sanjen:

Oops my bad I have the 3t and it's a great phone . It won't be a great upgrade I terms of performance but the looks design camera etc are way better on s8 plus. If you do vase how your phone looks then s8 should be the choice.

I was tempted by it, but I am not sure how the blue version of the case will look on the Midnight Black S8+. Strangely, the Samsung online store is not selling the black version of this case.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sanjen:
Ok thanks for your reply. What about selfie camera? U said you had 3T. How is the selfie camera in S8 when compared with 3/3T
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] paras:
I still have 3t and use it. It's good but I feel Samsung is way better in terms of selfie.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sanjen:
Even I had the same opinion since S8 is flagship but when I took pictures from both the mobiles yesterday, atleast I found that S8's selfies are not that impressive when compared(may be problem with that particulate demo handset). Hence posted here to get the feedback of others who switched from OP3/3T to S8.

BTW I'm planning to get one for me from Malaysia where we can get 6GB RAM & 128GB ROM variant in less price.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] funtoosh:
I hope you have installed the bixby and system updates both ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] paras:
Bro I really feel the performance of camera for both the phones are great the. It's not a day and night difference. S8 Should be bought for it's looks and design primarily I think. It feels amazing to use it. I would not suggest changing to s8 just for camera of your coming from 3 or 3t imo.

I feel s8 plus is really fluid and ui is great so for me it's a great phone.

I Had purchased my S7 edge from Hong Kong last year when i was on my official tour.It costed me 45k when the price in India was 56k moreover it was snapdragon version with dual sim also (a very rare gem of phone, as sd versions are single sim and exynos versions are dual sims ) so it was a no thinker for me. At that time Jio was not released so did not think much and after that my s7e did not get volte.It just receiving data like any other 4G phone which dont have Volte.Had to use jio app for calling.Tried may ways to get volte like installing indian csc,even managed to contact SAMSUNG R&D division of India to find if they could help me by guiding over my problem but the response was negative as update needs to be provided and only Hong Kong R&D have rights over it. Roms are also rare as hardware is rare.Got Frustrated and sold the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] swrpgalaxy:
Thats motivating. But i just found out the differences between indian n saudi model

Saudi s8+ is not VOLTE enabled, second SIM is only 3G enabled and samsung pay wont work.

In india its Volte enabled and second sim is 4g enabled and samsung pay works
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrjoy:

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] vvijkumar:
Saudi S8+ is volte enabled but It just dont have indian csc so phone dont know configuration to enable Volte.Work around is to install the indian Firmware from sammobile as hardware is same.Installing official firmware dont trigger Knox also so samsung pay is also safe.Samsung pay absolutely works as my cousin who just went back yesterday had his indian card in it and payed for our yesterday's treat via samsung pay with his s8.Just that samsung pay app is not installed, You need to download and install it manually (you need both Samsung pay +samsung pay framework apks to be installed ).Only disadvantage is it dont have warrenty in India

Please dont.. I have received the s8+ with mrp 69000 :eek: may be you will be in loss if you cancel the reduced price preorder who knows if Samsung increase the price as well you loose another 4k on wireless charger..
