I think after the Note 7 they want to take it slow.

MAh =/= how long a phone lasts.

I'm sorry, but in 3 years to still be offering less MAh is just pathetic.

I've had literally no reason to upgrade my phone.

Agreed. But with USB-C this'll probably charge up way way faster than your note, all they need to do is make it last 12-16 hours. If they can do that making it bigger is probably a waste from a design aspect.

I've had literally no reason to upgrade my phone.

In all fairness there are plenty of people who have little reason to upgrade with devices up to 4+ years old.

So what time does this go live? 12am est or 3am est?

Also any consensus on the best place to buy it?

Best Buy is offering a bit of a discount.
Target is supposedly throwing in a $100 gift card though I have no idea when that is starting.
Sprint.com says pre orders start at 2am.
BB is at 12

The silver and grey don't look so good where the 2 colors meet the front of the phone, black is way sleeker due to that imo.

I had an otterbox for a while, but now I'm thinking I'll buy the extra insurance so I don't need a case. I guess I'll see what the cases look like.

Weird BB is $915 payed in full, but $715 paying by month http://www.bestbuy.com/site/samsung-galaxy-s8-64gb-midnight-black-verizon/5789010.p?skuId=5789010


Cheaper full price on Verizon if you're interested in paying it outright.

I'd rather save the $100 and pay over time.
