[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] raptoro07:
I believe the ear buds included with the phone are plugged buds that are "akg tuned." The ones in the $99 package with the memory card are AKG y50bt wireless, on the ear headphones.

Galaxy S8 &amp; S8+ Waiting Room

Preordered an Orchard Grey S8+ from CPW in order to obtain the free speaker being as Sammy in the U.K. Is offering nothing in the way of VR etc.

Coming from an iPhone 6S+ I don't have an issue with its height as it actually looks a smaller phone to me.

One of the reasons I went for this rather than the iPhone 7 is because it still has a headphone socket.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] MeltdownSpectre:
Pre-ordered a Midnight Black S8 Plus today, the excitement is killing me. It's expected to ship around 25th April or so. :D
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] MajorAly:
Pre-ordered S8+ Dual in Midnight Black yesterday.

This will be my return to Samsung after Galaxy S4, which I replaced in 2014 with Xperia Z2 and then Z2 to Z5 Premium.

Honestly Z2 was a pretty good phone but Z5 Premium disappointed a lot in many ways and ever since my dad got Galaxy S7 Edge, if I ever got to use it occasionally, was always impressed by how fast it was and how smooth and good looking the UI was.

Sadly, with my pre-order I'm only getting a Samsung Starter Kit 2 which contains a Wireless Charger (older model), a clear cover, screen protector and some other travel kit stuff. Would've loved the new Gear VR with motion controller, my dad got Gear VR with his S7 Edge pre-order, damn why couldn't I get one as well.

Oh well, pretty excited and especially cannot wait to get the device, it will be more than a year for me now to have stayed with Z5 Premium and not upgrading.

What's your expected shipping date for your GS8+?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] physicsguymatt:
So I changed my mind... I had pre-ordered the S8 through Best Buy (VZ) and after watching numerous videos/hands-on etc, I think I'll be frustrated with the narrower width than my S7E (even with the bigger screen - my old eyes need every square mm I can get) so I'm switching to the S8+. Going to go in to Best Buy tomorrow to do the switch in person to make sure nothing gets messed up and to see if I can get in on the VZ trade-in promo for my S7E as well. I'm already on the new unlimited so $15 a month sound good to me and saves the hassle of trying to sell it myself.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] droidrev71:
Ordered S8+ from Best Buy and Verizon is my carrier. I went with the midnight black.

Am I the only one that finds it ridiculous that all the carrier waiting threads were closed? Each pre order from different carrier's and countries seems like this will be a bit clustered with info I won't care to skim through.

Good luck everyone with their orders!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] ajoshi:
I am pretty similar but went through Currys (part of DSG) to get the free speaker and moving over from iPhone 6+.

My retailer has given the date range from 25th April to 5th May, hopefully I can get it in the week of the release and not get delayed...
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] galaxy4mylife:
Why do you have such a long wait. Samsung said they would have no problems with stock at launch on the 21st? T-Mobile in the US has my date as shipping on 4/20-4/21 but it will ship out sooner to be here before or on release date.

I've reported Samsung to my state department of consumer protection for misleading or false advertising and I suggest those who were deceived by Samsung directly do the same. The state attorney general actually can be helpful when a company is misleading.

For those who pre-ordered from Samsung directly in the US. Has anyone actually received a notification that their phone has been shipped? Personally, I haven't yet, and I'm worried about their promise of having it sent by the 20th.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jonathan3579:
Nothing yet here. I've seen 1 or 2 reports of people here who ordered direct with tracking info. This was just a bad choice all around..

Galaxy S8 &amp; S8+ Waiting Room

I just got off the phone with them. I was polite but firm about how Samsung promised to deliver by the 20th. They said they'd escalate it and get it to me by tomorrow. We'll see, lol. If you call them, be nice, it's not the CSR's fault but insist that you were promised April 20th and you're hoping maybe they can help.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] MNX1024:
Honestly, not sure what to feel about them not keeping their promise. I mean, I'm already kind of tempted to cancel my order and save me the money. Not like I really need a new phone. The main reason I even decided to order from them direct is that I can get all the freebies all together. I ordered the $99 package because I needed the microSD for the extra storage.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jonathan3579:
Same.. 100% same. Except I already requested cancellation earlier but was told it still ships because it's too late to actually cancel.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] philliplavelle:
I called Samsung this morning, having ordered on the 6th. My account still says 'PREORDER' with the option to cancel if I want to. No charges to my card. No movement. Zilch.

The operator (who i waited 30 mins to speak to - man, they're busy today!) said that the phone will definitely be here with me in Los Angeles tomorrow. She said that depending on which warehouse is dispatching the order, that determines if the info has been updated but many have already been shipped and the system just doesn't reflect it yet so the info would come later.

I don't really think I believe her though. Something in my waters tells me this won't be arriving tomorrow!

Incidentally, I also asked why some got the speaker and others (ie. me) didn't. She said the speaker went to the first 10k pre-orders.

I ordered April 12 and the possibility to cancel disappeared two days ago. The charge became final sometime yesterday however I still see pre-order on the main page and clicking on the "cannot find your order" link says preparing for shipment. I just called again a couple minutes ago and got a whole different story but this time it sounds like Samsung has given them a script on delayed orders.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] xile6:
Mines and my wife's came in about an hour ago.

Installed some skinomi casefriendly screen protectors. And now im restoring my old phone to this one. Gotta wait for that to finish before i can play with the phone but it feels so nice in the hand.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] badbradd2:
I just pre-ordered about 5 minutes ago through T-Mobile and the phone is already marked as shipped with delivery tomorrow.

What color did everyone get? I went with the black which was an awesome color on the Note 7.

So both of mine are now on the way. From the looks of the shipping confirmation I'd assume that I'm getting the Gear VR with it in the same shipment.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] fgr:
Basically the same story I just got (although nothing in delivery manager yet).

I ordered direct from Samsung on the 7th. Website still shows preorder, so I called. First woman I talked to said they were going out of the warehouse tonight with 2 day shipping. So I asked how I was going to get it by the 20th as promised? She didn't have an answer so I asked to talk with a supervisor.

The supervisor said they are shipping tonight with next day shipping.

It amazes me how unorganized Samsung seems. You would think they'd be at least as quick to ship as the carriers.

Oh well, as long as I get it tomorrow, it's all good.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] GreeleyXda:
Is it possible samsung messed up my order again? No tracking yet and its getting close to the end of drop time for fedex
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] p0rkguy:
Best thing to do is to complain when you haven't received it, that way there is a chance for them to compensate you. Otherwise getting antsy about it before the expected date does nothing. Chances are the department that manages the shipping label and linking it to your account is being slow or heavily delayed.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] nosympathy:

Why the hell do they do this? I understand getting a proof of delivery, but why not let me have it held at FedEx for pickup?

Now it may get shipped back for failure to be able to get a signature. You would think they could say that at the time of ordering. Grrrr

Order originally at midnight, but they made me wait a week for a call back that never came. When i called on the 7th they canceled my order and made me reorder. This phone better not have the red tint issue or a defective battery.

All you guys that are getting the 7 pound packages did you order it with the extra $99 bundle? My S8 is 3 pounds and my S8+ is 4 pounds. I didn't get the extra $99 bundle on either of them.

Finally...FedEx has a label!

Congrats on getting the FedEx shipping info! Phewwww! Will you still keep the phone even if it actually does arrive tomorrow?

I finally see a shipping label created around 4pm-something MDT on FedEx app for overnight delivery. Weight = 7.0 lbs so I'm glad the immersive bundle is coming with the phone. Now, as I'm typing this post Samsung just sent a shipping confirmation email. No charges yet to credit card. Hope they forget about that part! :laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] burrzoo:
What packaging!

I think they spent more time on planning the packaging for this phone/immersive bundle setup than they did for the plans on shipping out the phones by 4/20!
