Not an easy thing to check. Have a look at your current phone and see whether you can find any information regarding the BT version. I know my S7 has BT 4.2 because all the online specs indicate this. But I can't find any information in the phone settings to actually confirm this.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stephen:
Great just checked my order. Really not happy. Now it says:

Main Status: Awaiting Stock

Explanation: We are currently awaiting the stock required to fulfil your order.

Why have I been charged for a phone I am not going to get. I am really very unhappy about this, I ordered 30/03 at 8am.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MopHeadGeek:
I ordered from Samsung the status changed to shipped on 18th and has been like that since i contacted Samsung and they said it would be with me on the 20th today i received a dispatch email with ukmail tracking with a link that does not work so assuming I'm getting it tomorrow now. Rang the Samsung hotline and theres an option for s8 delivery and it goes through some automated spill that says due to high demand Pre orders will be will you between 19th and 24th...... So this order and get 8 days early is rubbish.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dj_sploits:
Surely something can be done about this. You can't advertise something then pull it after people have signed up. High demand or not they should be compensating the people who have lost out.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tim84us:
What does it say on the box?!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nmck117:
I just got my dispatch email from Samsung. Ordered 29/03 at 6:15pm.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] gellofish:
It's arrived!! Whats with the free shopping bag????
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dumraden:
That's the thing. It says NOTHING. Tried to check the settings, nothing. The app. Nothing.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dosher:
No idea what info will be on the S8 box, but on my S7 box there is no mention of the Bluetooth version. I seem to remember that with the ability for BT 5 to connect to 2 separate headphones, there may be an additional toggle in the phone's Bluetooth settings showing this option. So of it's not there, no BT 5 for us.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stephen:
EDIT: I am confused now, just got this email from samsung:

So on the site it shows that there is no more stock, I have no tracking information yet, but it is saying I am still expecting the phone tomorrow. :confused::confused::confused:
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nmck117:
Same here. Wondering if this is just an interim status update before it goes to dispatched with our tracking details. Mine changed to shipped on Tuesday night and I got charged yesterday. Surely they wouldn't do that without the stock there?!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dumraden:
That I can verify. There is a Dual Audio setting in Bluetooth.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] wizzywig27:
Well I can confirm delivery was not attempted via Royal Mail today, as much as I am not fussed I am still annoyed at the CS aspect of this. I shall be calling later to give them my thoughts :D
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dan_ep82:
Thank you for contacting Samsung UK Online Store!

Thank you for pointing this out!

It appears to be a typo.

As per our internal system, the device does indeed support Bluetooth 5.0.

We have escalated the issue to the relevant department.

We remain at your disposal.

Samsung Shop Support Team.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Strangeland16:
Just received my update return information email from Samsung so looks like they were just slow pushing the email out to me
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stephen:
My understanding is, due to high demand their system can not cope and not giving accurate information. The fact that they stated my order number and a delivery date of tomorrow and I was charged this morning for the phone gives me some hope. The fact that the site says no more stock and I have not had any emails from uk mail about a delivery slot is worrying. I am not holding out much hope in getting the phone tomorrow.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] lawtq:
Never seen someone messed around so much! I'd have given up in your situation by now, seems tomorrow though finally
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Strangeland16:
I wouldn't pay attention to the stock status I ordered the s7 edge last year and that thing changed from ordered on request to out of stock to in stock regularly and back again I still got my phone on time so I expect you will get it tomorow like it Samsung sugest

I have bought regular from very including phones washing machines etc what you have been told is corect the item Is dispatched direct from the manufacturers suplier very just take the order
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Babychan:
Seems to be an error now with the Samsung tracking site i get an error when i try to check on my order
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stephen:
Getting that too now as well.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dan_ep82:
just got mine right within the 1hour slot from uk mail
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dosher:
I hope this is correct as all of the information I've had from Samsung UK so far has advised only BT 4.2. How can their tech and marketing depts get so confused by this?

---------- Post added at 04:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:41 PM ----------

Thanks for confirming. Now to try and actually connect 2 devices? :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stephen:
Ok error seems to have gone again. My order status is back to shipped and the sipped status underneath is still "Shipped Dispatch currently being processed" and my order number has changed to a really long order number! Random!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] FlexPen76:
Just got an email saying delivery due out tomorrow. Was in the same boat as most of you - ordered early April from Samsung, expected it today but was stuck at no tracking number. It's being sent by Royal Mail SD for me. I'm in NI though, not sure if that matters.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MopHeadGeek:
I got that email saying sorry it will come the 21st and my order number has gone really long. Just now
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Monkey Chops:
Spoke to Samsung on twitter and they said:

And i said that I hadn't ordered any accessories and they said:

No idea what it all means.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nmck117:
Oh I'm in NI too. Really hope mine is posted SD and not UKmail!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] big_b0sss:
Tadaaa got my shipping mail will be with me tomorrow :laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] big_b0sss:
Hey I'm in Belfast contacted Samsung today phone coming tomorrow delivered by Royal mail
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nmck117:
I'm in Lisburn. I couldn't get through to them today. I got the first email to say I'll get it tomorrow but haven't got the tracking email yet. Fingers crossed.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] CJLewis87:
Nice one UKMail! Never mind tomorrow it is
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] FlexPen76:
Good luck! I'm in sunny Larne and I'm assuming it's cause UK mail aren't a delivery co here - although I know they have handed over to Nightline in the past. At least with SD it's guaranteed before 1.00.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Babychan:
Still can't track it on the ukmail site i want to try and arrange an evening delivery
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Monkey Chops:
Mines been despatched by Very, just had an email. Better late than never!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] PotatoPatato5050:
Wow - what a coincidence - mine has also just been dispatched.

I'm still showing as 'delivery by 28th' and I don't have a tracking number.

I thought Very were out of stock though ? ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] wizzywig27:
Right guys, my tracking number now works, sent via Royal Mail tracked, not special delivery

On a side note I got my EE order today, all I can say is WOW. Only one thing...after using iPhone 7+ it feels too small lol
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Monkey Chops:
No idea what's gone on, mate. Feels like I've been bull****ted a lot today, just glad it's on the way :good:
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] PotatoPatato5050:
Just rang Very to ask for a tracking number - they gave me this 900******** - and said it would be Royal Mail delivery. However, Royal Mail tracking numbers begin with two letters I thought.

I dunno - guess we'll have to wait and see.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Monkey Chops:
The woman I spoke to today gave me a royal mail tracking number but it had nothing on it at the time. began with QJ, but it still doesn't work.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] wizzywig27:
He gave me the same (look at previous posts). I asked him what it was he said it's an order number or something. Anyway I think with Very it is luck of the draw. Try ring them again. Or us online chat
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stephen:
Still no tracking information for my order from Samsung site. Still not happy. The email said it is due to arrive tomorrow, but without tracking info, I am not holding much hope.

On a side note, I was doing shopping on the way home at Tesco. Popped into the phone store and they had an s8 dummy unit and a s8 plus live unit. That screen is jaw droppingly good! The s8+ was the black version, which looked ok, but the s8 was the grey version which I ordered. It was just simply beautiful to look at!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] simey83:
Hi mate, in Lisburn myself, I got my tracking link from royal mail a couple of hours ago. Special Delivery tomorrow apparently!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jus71n01:
Mine arrived this morning at 10am normal s8, CPW pre order
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nmck117:
I've still got nothing through from them. And surely special delivery will be gone by now? I'll be ripping if it doesn't come tomorrow.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] simey83:
I would say there is still a chance. They will be working into the night. Fingers crossed mate.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nmck117:
FINALLY! Got the dispatched email. Royal Mail special delivery. Much better than UKmail so happy with that
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] simey83:
Happy days mate :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tomo1971:
Email and text from UKMail yesterday to say it will arrive today. Nothing. Nada. No text or email to say delayed or issues. Well done Samsung and UK Mail.

Go to UKMail tracking site and it just says 09:15 - Delayed.

Is that delayed for a day? A week? Month? Forever?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] senjiroh:
I was watching my UKMail tracking thing which said the guy was at stop 44 for 2 hours. I guess the system broke or whatever - it turned up on time and then an hour later I got a message saying sorry it's delayed. I'm holding it in my hands, reading this email on my device thinking "What?".

Good luck those still waiting!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nmck117:
Is anyone else's Royal Mail tracking not working? Says come back later.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] simey83:
Mine seems to be working. On its way to Lisburn PDO...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nmck117:
Damn. I think mine might have missed the boat last night :(
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] simey83:
Could just be a site error, no reason it wouldn't make it. What was the last tracking you seen?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nmck117:
It hasn't tracked. Just says "Latest update: please come back later". Like it hasn't been scanned in. I didn't get the email until 8:50pm which is worrying.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] simey83:
I use the app "Deliveries" it's great. Try that, might not make much difference tho.

---------- Post added at 06:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:40 AM ----------

Mine was collected at 8:59pm last night and made it to Belfast at 03:25am, so there is a chance.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] FlexPen76:
[MENTION=8220380]Nmck117[/MENTION] I've two devices on order (one for me and the wife) and one is tracking ok, the other isn't both are due Royal Mail SD. I'm hoping they are bringing both. When I get delivery I'll let you know. If both arrive then hopefully you'll get yours also.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nmck117:
Thank you! Will put my mind at ease.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jah:
Credit to Three UK and DPD my S8 arrived safely yesterday.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] wizzywig27:
Mine is fine buddy, but I am in England
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stephen:
Yes I am getting this as well. Got tracking info at 10pm last night, but checking RM at 8am this morning it is still come back later. I am hoping for a delivery slot today, as I am having it shipped to my work address.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mdizzle1:
My pre-order from Samsung (placed on 19 Apr) has channged status to shipped.

I dont have a tracking number though? Does anyone know when I will get one and who it is likely to ship with?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] simey83:
Hi mate, I believe you need to receive the tracking details before its actually going to you. Shipped means it's waiting to be collected or on the way to the courier, which is UK Mail on the Mainland (some also by DPD) and seems to be Royal Mail in N. Ireland. You should receive tracking details before the end of the day and maybe delivery tomorrow? Give them a call. Cheers.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mdizzle1:
Thanks for the information, if that's the case it will be UK Mail for me and I don't think they deliver at the weekends so I guess it will be a Monday delivery. Ill have to take a day off next week now!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] wizzywig27:
I may be wrong but when Royal Mail states 'come back later' it means they don't have it yet. I am sure this happened to me a few weeks ago. In other words they know there is a parcel but they haven't got it yet.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stephen:
I just contact RM with my tacking ID and they confirmed they have not received the package yet. So it looks like it has not been shipped. Getting annoyed now, looks like it will be Monday before I get the device.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nmck117:
This is horrific. Honestly the worst pre order experience I've ever had.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] FlexPen76:
Sorry to be bearer of bad news...I've only just received the one device. Unfortunately for me also it's the wife's phone and not mine so I'm also SOL. I'm keeping my fingers crossed there's another one coming today, but I don't think so. Sorry!!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nmck117:
Thanks for letting me know. I thought it was a long shot.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stephen:
HTC were bad for me as well, only ever good pre-order I had was the OP3T. I just phoned Samsung and they said that they have located my parcel and it has not been picked up yet by the courier, but should have it on Monday.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] simey83:
Because of a "vehicle brrakdown" I won't be getting mine till Monday day. Load of ****e!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nmck117:
Oh sh*t. It just keeps getting better. Why can't you collect yours at the depot?!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] simey83:
Apparently because of the delivery service. It must be delivered to the address. I'll ring the depot and see. Shambles :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] FlexPen76:
Yeah give em a ring. Either that or just turn up and say you were told it'd be alright and then kick up a fuss!!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] simey83:
Might just do that. Cheers.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] big_b0sss:
Anyone in NI received their phone yet? Boy I've been sitting by door like a dog since 9 nothing yet
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nmck117:
Well it looks like mine wasn't collected and someone else said delivery van issues means they won't get theirs to Monday.

I think one NI person here said they got theirs. Is yours showing "out for delivery"?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Cheesy Wotsit:
Mine is on the way to Ballymoney. Delivery 1.30-2.30pm. The wait is agony. I sent off a complaint to EE about the phone not arriving on 20th as promised. Probably a waste of time but I just felt like having a moan about it and my wife was sick listening to me.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] FlexPen76:
Im in NI and got mine, well the wifes phone this morning from royal mail. Looks like my own will be Monday now.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] big_b0sss:
Mine shows out for delivery but can't take the waiting
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jeux_1:
Belfast still nothing. Bought directly from Samsung and to be delivered as special delivery I think they are special delivery before 1pm.

Not too long to wait now.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Darrencarey75:
Samsung tell me mine is sure to be delivered today. Royal mail tell me they have not collected the phone. Confused? (Ballymena)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nmck117:
Did you speak to Samsung today? Mine hasn't been collected by Royal Mail either (so the system says). I'm in Lisburn.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jeux_1:
Lol, that sucks.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Darrencarey75:
Yes. I told them that royal mail site keeps showing "please check later" I called them and they said they hadn't be given the phone yet. Samsung said it has been shipped and collected for delivery today. I've now wasted two days off work ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] big_b0sss:
What a joke turns out pay4later got my delivery address wrong. Doesn't seem like I'll have the phone until next week or something. Worst pre order experience ever
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stephen:
That is exactly what I am getting too. Please try later for a delivery to Newtownabbey. Contacted Royal Mail and they said it has not been picked up. Contacted Samsung and said, yes it has been picked up and delivery today as well. Very confused here too.

I tend to believe RM at this point. I am tempted to cancel my order as carphone warehouse are saying order now and collect in store tomorrow. Dont want to end up with two phones though!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Darrencarey75:
I'm with you there. I'm believing Royal mail. Now I'm gonna check out Csrphone warehouse and if it does come, Sammy can take it back.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] CJLewis87:
My delivery tracker with UKMail has been on "out for delivery" since first thing this morning. Would have expected a delivery slot by now. Did this happen with anyone who's already received theirs?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nmck117:
Well my postman has come and gone. Brought me a "signed for" parcel but no special delivery. No phone. It's almost 1pm so if they did have it I'm certain it would be here by now. Samsungs system has generated the label so they are telling us it's dispatched but RM can see what's in their system so...

Where can you see the carphone option to collect tomorrow?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] PotatoPatato5050:
Got my phone this morning around 0900

I do have the red tint - but it can be mitigated using display settings. Other than that - good phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stephen:
On the website.: I am going to phone them now and see what the story is.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nmck117:
Saturday 29th... next Saturday. Or I'd be all over it!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stephen:
Man miss read that! I'd have been all over it too :(
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] choccy31:
Was contemplating ordering mine next weds and hoping they would send to me on Friday or at least be able to pick it up on the 28th.

Still unsure whether to wait for it's full relase rather than pre-order.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MopHeadGeek:
Yes mine is still out mate I'm parcel 78 on his journey he is on parcel 44 ukmail the tracking thing is touch or go if it shows. Mine is coming between 2.30 and 3.30
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Babychan:
I got a delivery slot 2 hrs after it went out for delivery and they came 40mins after the time given
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] CJLewis87:
ah was a bit concerned that I couldn't see the live tracker thing so reassuring to know. My housemate also has her S8 out for delivery today so we're getting a bit impatient haha. Cheers mate not long for you now
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MopHeadGeek:
I'm at work I've had it delivered to my parents address and i will swing by later! Hoping no issues with the screen like alot the threads are saying.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Cheesy Wotsit:
It's here!!!!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Velrix:
Still no shipping from Clove ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Flame Red:
Not till the 28th at the earliest.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nmck117:
So I just seen on another forum that people in the states orders have been delayed until today and they are getting a $50 Samsung voucher. I am fuming considering mine won't be here until Monday now! Unbelievable.

Update: Called Samsung and they confirmed my phone is still waiting to be collected by Royal Mail. She kept saying "the website said up to 8 days early" so that's how they are getting out of this one. I've asked her to escalate my issue to a higher team so they should be contacting me.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Darrencarey75:
Same situation again. I had this exact problem with the Note 7. I'm going to CPW and I'll be returning my order from Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Velrix:
It's BS as other UK suppliers are shipping
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stephen:
So anybody in Northern Ireland got their tracking number, but it still not registered with Royal Mail? Looks like it will be Monday at the earliest now for a pickup with delivery for Tuesday. I'm not happy!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nmck117:
I thought they would pick up later tonight? They still work Fridays so I'm being hopeful. Samsung did tell me (ha!) it would be with me on Monday so they must think there'll be a pick up tonight.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stephen:
Possible, but I am not holding out much hope! It does say on RM's site that it could be late into the evening on day one of pickup, before the first scan registered on the system. So if it is picked up today, I'll check tomorrow to see if it has registered.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nmck117:
Someone's got picked up yesterday for NI delivery today at 9pm. So I'll check late tonight and again tomorrow morning.
