Waterproofing is there to avoid accidents and not to adventure. Even the manufacturers advice you to not to do so.

      AlienNextDoor, 22 Apr 20171. Yes you can go back. I had the Note 4. Loved everything about it EXCEPT the size. Went to a... moreYes i went back to iPhone 5s after using Note 2 for two years and after few months with iPhone 5s, i missed the big screen experience(watching videos and typing on that cramped keyboard of 5s for example made me miss the extra real estate the note 2's 5.5" screen provided) i got from my Note 2 and finally i started using phones with 5"+ screens. Now i am happy with my S6E and i am planning to buy the next Note. 5.5"-5.7" screens are okay if bezels are less but i too accept that more than that(5.7") will be too much. Edge's glare never troubled me really. Other than the lack of screen guards for edge version i didn't face any kind of issues you mentioned.

          821 soc is good enough. 835 first benchmarks only prooves it's not big improvement as they claimed
          battery life is not so bad
          don't forget samsung pay a lot of reviewers. not from yesterday. just saying.

              Someone Else, 22 Apr 2017...If I understand you correctly, you're telling us that 1. The price of a USED $750 LG G6 ... moreyes I can give a link
              I guess lg g6 on contract is 100-170$ cheaper than s8 on same contract both in usa
              that's why re-sale price of brand new g6 is around 150$ less
              whatever
              All my friends from all the functions of their smartphones they use on 1st place the camera, and now samsung say "s7 camera is good enough"
              samsung forgot we are in 2017 year not 2016 and s7 camera is not good enough especially for MSRP 900$ on contract 700$ phone

                          so basically you buy 900$ phone which review in section camera is copy pasted texts and shooted photos from last years model which you can buy now for 250$ 2nd hand
                          that must be a win for samsung

                            The battery was one of the few difference from the S8+ and the S8's eagerly awaited battery endurance rating is truly...........not available at the moment. :(

                            Awesome Sunlight legibility BTW: After the S6 edge+ and the S8+ came close, the S8 finally dethrones the venerable 808 Pureview!

                                What I LOVE about the Galaxy S8:
                                1. Infinity Display
                                2. 3K HDR sAMOLED display
                                3. Rear and front Camera
                                4. dual-edge design
                                5. Iris Scanner
                                6. Samsung Experience UI (or TouchWiz)
                                7. fast wireless charging
                                8. IP68 rating
                                9. new gen battery that will degrade slower
                                10. Front and Back Dual Ambient Light Sensors
                                11. Bluetooth 5.0
                                12. Samsung's implementation of the Multi-Window Mode
                                13. AKG earphone included in the box
                                14. No protruding rear camera

                                What I HATE about the Galaxy S8
                                1. Bottom speaker
                                2. Awkward FPS location
                                3. Only 64 GB storage option for the international version

                                Things that I don't care:
                                1. 1 GB/s LTE
                                2. Bixby
                                3. Facial Recognition
                                4. On screen navigation
                                5. 18.5:9 screen ratio
                                6. The chipset (SD 835 / Exynos 8895)
                                7. Heart rate scanner (WHY IS IT STILL THERE?!)
                                8. No stereo speakers

                                  Edges are terrible. That is the only think I hate in my s7edge. I will never ever ever ever buy another phone with curved display.

You can't notice any, even on an S5, unless you actively try to bring forth one. If you really want to make them happen then you can do so on ANY phone, including every iPhone and Pixel/Nexus.

                                      Also, stop calling it lag. It's stuttering. Lag pertains to your internet connection, not cpu or os.
