It'll take me a while so in the meantime I can do it for you. Just tell me what theme you use and what hex you want for your quick settings background (+ opacity) and for the quick settings icons if you want to change their color.

This is mine at the moment:

Please don't PM me. We can do it in this thread.

Sorry to be a pain but at the moment it has a black background, would it be possible to look like urs was?

Really appreciate this.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Soufiansky:
The long waited device have been annouced, and it was worth waiting. A 5.8" gorgeous display powered by a 10nm processor, a whole new UX and tons of other features. So what do you think about it ? Her you can talk about anything related to the Galaxy S8, enjoy guys ! :good:
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] peachpuff:
I was hoping for that 1000fps camera rumor but it seems that was shot down, camera seems to be the same as in the s7.

That screen though... simply stunning.

I didn't see any mention of the sub pixel array, still pentile?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Xephyrex:
There is a Chinese site that claims there is a China-exclusive Galaxy S8 boasting 6GB worth of RAM. How likely is this to be true, given that the west will be receiving 4GB RAM variants? If this is true, I don't think I will buy the 'western' variant, rather I'd be looking to get China's exclusive 6GB edition. What are your thoughts?

---------- Post added at 04:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:40 PM ----------

Even though they didn't mention it, alot of sites are saying it'll shoot ultra-slow motion at 1000fps. Just because it wasn't mentioned does not mean it is inherently non-existent.

Source sammobile "According to a report by Naver, the Galaxy S8′s camera can record 1000fps videos, and the company has achieved this by adding DRAM (used as buffer memory) into the camera sensor itself. Sony’s recently unveiled the Xperia XZ Premium with a 19-megapixel camera sensor (IMX400) that uses a similar technique to capture 960fps slow-motion videos at 720p, but our sources tell us that the Galaxy S8 won’t use the same sensor."
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] shaneel1491:
It's not using Sony's new sensor, it's using same sensor as S7 so definitely no 960+ fps
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] khanvict90:
omgggg this is so ugly haha same **** again even the s7 edge is better than this crap but waiting for the oneplus 5 that will be a bomb :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] htcplussony:
Up to 10% in cpu and 21% in gpu is disappointing considering a switch to 10nm. The A10 got a lot more over A9 last year without a process improvement.

I think I'm going to hold or pass.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Termynat0r:
Somewhere I read something about 4k at 60fps. That would be an indication that this is not the same sensor as the s7
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mocsab:
There is new camera software and an 8MB front facing camera - the new software is something many DSLR and Digitial cameras have - multi-shot or something like that - camera takes multiple pictures of the same photo very quickly and processes them together to get a better reproduction - helps in low light photos particularly - that is a bad description for what I think will be an awesome addition...can't wait - just hope I can pre-order a G950F Variant here in the US.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dayloon:
Any idea if the speaker has been improved over the s7?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] teegunn:
I read a couple of articles that said there would be stereo sound/speakers and they did this by making the earpiece speaker the 2nd speaker.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] peachpuff:
Link?

I believe apple makes they're own cpu's from the ground up, samsung/qualcomm simply take pieces from arm and modify it slightly, the snapdragon 835 is an a53 + a slightly modified a72/a73 core, the exynos is probably based on the same thing.

True but imo its still not suitable for daily usage
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Fahrenheit85:
I pre ordered one I do wish Samsung put stereo speakers on the front of the device but as long as what they got now is as loud as the note7 i'll be ok. The finger print scanner looks like it's in a not great spot but i'm not to worried about that since I use my smart watch to keep my phone unlocked
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] VeEuzUKY:
Let's get this thing rooted and going as soon as possible. I worry Samsung will make everyone's life harder with locked bootloaders and other bad surprises we may find along the way. But I'm looking forward to have the hardware in my hands soon and start the boogie:)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Highspeed123:
I think they are relegating the Finger print unlock method. They don't see it as the future of security. It's becoming just an optional extra. That's why they are pushing Iris scanning and a more advanced face unlock method. It should be quicker. We will see.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Shofar1:

Do you still have to make the first calls with a SIM card from the country you bought it from?

Any words about a new Audio Amp and DAC to match HTC one?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Highspeed123:
Someone has made a thread referring to information on the Samsung website, regarding the audio quality. I can't make sense of it but it sounds good. Lol. I know nothing about DAC or audio so I can't tell if it's good news or not.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Soufiansky:
Very possible, like what happened with the S7 and S7 edge...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sirdragonx:
Iris scanning was cool on the Note 7 but the problem I have is wearing glasses. Also, you had to align the phone to a selfie type image of your eyes and it didn't work to good depending on the lighting conditions. It was cool to show off on my Note 7 but not practical if you wear glasses or are in direct sunlight or dark. Microsoft does a pretty good job with facial on thier surface. I can log in to my surface by just being in front of it. It works very well. We will have to see if the tech has increased since the Note 7 which I very seriously doubt.

The concept of iris or facial recognition is probably the future, but there is a big population that wears glasses and I don't think Samsung has developed the tech well enough to push the Fingerprint scanner to an odd location. They should have put it in a more convenient location on the back like the Nexus 6P or Pixel. I think the next step will be the Fingerprint scanner under the glass screen as leaked but they didn't have enough time or they are not there yet.

It will be interesting to see what the Note 8 brings. For now I will ditch the old s7edge which I was forced to take while I wait for the Note 8. Guess I will play with the S8 plus for a few months to a year and see if the Note 8 is worth it.

I've attended the Unpacked Event of the S8 in London last Wednesday, and had time to play around with the S8 and S8+ in the car on my way back to the Netherlands. So if there are any questions here about the devices here, I can always try to answer them :).

It has to be nano, just like in the s7, the wouldn't of gone back up to micro.

You can't actually redeem the free Gear VR from pre-ordering the S8 until AFTER you have the device itself. Earliest that people could redeem it is on the 20th, if you ordered the device directly from Samsung. Otherwise, you have to wait until the following day, on the 21st, to do so.

Exactly, even if it scores 20k more i would take the Exynos variant over Snapdragon.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] htcplussony:
Was surprised they demo units already yesterday. I'm fine on screen home button. Strangely that button is pressure based but the back and recent keys isn't.

Wanted a wider phone over the s7 because of the keyboard/grip. But the s8 just wasn't enough of a jump.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Highspeed123:
There is no way of knowing for sure until we get our hands on the retail units and test ourselves. I have seen contradicting benchmarks and news articles saying the Exynos is the faster chip by some margin. Then as you say, speed isn't always better. We need efficiency, battery life. Any device from the past year or two is already fast enough to do anything possible.

Adding to that, benchmarks mean nothing. It's just a number. Real usage is the most important thing such as games, UI and applications. You also often read about companies cheating the system just to get higher bench scores. Let's wait and see. It looks like a beautiful and great phone overall. It'll do me just fine until I get bored next year. :)

I can't decide if I'm gonna buy this or wait for the Note 8...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] peachpuff:
All updates come from samsung, the updates are tested by the carriers and then given the go ahead to release. The samfirm program allows you to pings samsungs server and search for which ever firmware you want.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] raidflex:
So that still means the carrier junk will prob be on there. Was hoping it would be more like the international version as far as updates. As big as Samsung is they should have enough pull to do it this way.

I'm trying to keep mine as minimal and thin as possible and saw a few options out there, but not enough reviews since the phone is so new.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mcbright80:
Actually love it....

Just got mine the other day: S8 in Orchid Grey(def the best color choice...you'd think otherwise but its kinda classy). I have the Sprint variant and have had ZERO issues with this handset. No lagging, display issues or anything like some others have had on here it seems. JUst runs like butter! Best parts for me is the incredible display and the AUDIO QUALITY! I am coming from the HTC A9, had galaxy s4 and note 4 before that and this wasnt my first choice since Samsung always has way more bloatware amonst other issues i didnt want again. I wanted the LGV20 when it came out mostly for its 24bit/192khz audio and quad-audio driver...or was it triple...cant remember but yeah. G6 was the next choice since it had 32bit/192khz(wow) but after some long, tedious comparing each handset, reading so many different reviews....i went with S8 to not only get the latest specs in hopes of not upgrading for a while after but it too had audio of 32bit but with 384/KHZ....no mention of DAC specifically i could find, never was good at finding that specific info and wish someone on here would share how the hell they seem to find out that crap lol. Also no mention of triple or quad audio driver like the V20 but i decided the updated specs of the S8 with having 32bit audio would be enough to pass on the V20.

Some people say its hype or useless having 24bit/32bit audio etc...cant tell the diff, blah! For me, i tested the V20, against the A9 and HTC 10....stock test of audio(for me) was stark in the overall quality V20 had over the HTCs. The S8, is slightly better or more so I think....hell its at least on par for sure but I've used Viper, dolby and more on the A9 with wonderful results. The S8, without any of those mods sounds as good stock...just using Poweramp in Hi-RES mode etc.

All in all, im actually very pleased with this buy right off the bat....and thats rare....
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Joeful:
So, the fingerprint scanner works a lot better than I previously had thought it would. It obviously works better in the right hand, though. LG phones have the best placement and arguably the best response time for fingerprint scanners. After hours of contemplating, I decided to swap my G6 for the S8. If I was loaded, I'd own both of them. The G6 should not be overlooked, if someone was looking for best price to performance, but the S8 is overall a better and more innovative smartphone. I just wish there was a flat screen version of the S8.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] techguyone:
OK I've read a LOT of reviews, ad seen a lot of opinions and I've decided to give the S8 a miss.

Because.

1st Gen 10 nm chipset (2nd iteration will be much more improved)

fingerprint placement (maybe next time samsung will crack the on screen reader)

red tint...

mediocre battery (I get Samsung are playing safe, next year will be more ambitious)

bixby - button & software (just released prematurely)

I am however, looking forward to the S9 because despite what faults I've posted, the rest is solid and I reckon it will be a cracker.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Soufiansky:
Thank you very much for your feedback mate :good:
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Infobits:
I agree with you. I also find the audio quality on the S8 is indeed excellent and the little AKG earbuds they include are excellent as well. Overall, I feel the phone is excellent except for the slight red tint issue (most noticeable along the right and left curved edges) and the seemingly short battery life and that the battery is not easily user replaceable when it wears out. Mine is the USA T-Mobile variant and it runs smooth and quick. I recommend for those who have applied the recent update to go into RECOVERY mode and wipe the system cache partition. That will clear up any slow facial recognition and slow finger print reader issues that the new update might cause.
