Be sure to check it in gearvr mode for dead pixels ifvyou plan on isong it for vr, could have dead pixels that are not visible in non ve mode

what a freaking disappointment. it shows the AC power plug output 9v 1.67A or 5v 2A

Wait! Why do you have a USB C cable and a micro USB adapter?

Is the female side USB C and the male side is microUSB?

Other way around. Female side is microusb to make your charger you already have at home to become USB-C.

I'm super jealous that you have the 128GB with the 6GB RAM version... I really would like that but I don't think they are selling that here in the US... I wonder if I could get a SIM unlocked version and be able to use that over here. Oh well. I am just using the S8+ until the Note 8 comes out... At least that is what I am planning on.
Thanks for the awesome video.

Nice picture, so the LTE bands on the CHN / KOR are the same as the one for US & INT?
It's really tempting but since Samsung US doesn't have an upgrade plan like how TMO JoD does, I'll just wait to trade in my S8+ for the Note 8.

What's the model # for this version? And do they have blue coral with 128/6GB ram?

I would also like to know if the LTE bands are the same as T-Mobile in the US. Please advise...

If they dont sell it in Europe, they dont sell it in the USA, they dont sell it in Korea, where the hell are they selling it??

Also wireless Mouse/KB
and the best part for me is I can Connect my USB speakers to it.
But in case of speakers Battery must be charged well, as speakers are high powered device.
But it runs as long as battery is not down to like 30-40 %.
I just picked up a couple. They were .69/each with free shipping.

Samsung Adaptive Fast charger stock?

So I'm ordering the phone from the UK which means the charger won't work for me here in the US. I was wondering if this samsung adaptive fast charger is the same that comes as stock in the US model, I don't want to miss out on Quick Charge 2.0 so I gotta make sure this one's right otherwise I might end up with a slower charging phone than my current N5 which charges very fast.
These all say output is 5V and 1amp? How does this compare to a wired charger?

It actually says 2A, so I'm wondering for those who already own the S7/S7E is this so called official samsung fast charger same as the one that come stock on the US phone?

Sweet! seems like it is the same power outage, thanks a lot!
It is. Even in the USA, with your lower voltage plugs, it's still 10x what fast charging bricks drawer. Should have no problems at all.
If you try and use 1 with a plug adapter, just make sure it'll pass it through at the correct voltage (although I dunno why it wouldn't). Or you could just order a US charging brick fro Samsung. It's all good.
I'll be using mine in the USA towards the end of the year. So I'm curious to see if if it's all good for you.

I can get the same US charger for like 8-12 bucks from Amazon/Ebay so I think I'll just buy that since I don't plan on going to Europe any time soon. And yeah a plug adapter would probably work but I think I'm better off with the US plug charger since it's pretty cheap.

That's the best idea. The brick you have is for UK only, not Europe anyway. They use a 2 pin plug in Europe, but instead of flat pins they use round.
Whereas it's 3 for the UK because we earth all our plugs, so the long pin goes in first as it's the earthed one.
For sure for the sake of 12 bucks.

I ended up getting one for myself and the wife. I wanted the blue but it was 289, so I opted for the black and got the white one for my wife. Gotta love Amazon!

Same. Got the black too. I'm so cheap.
Actually I think the black will be better in the long run for cases and possibly skins. Not sure what color skin I do with that blue.
I got mine for $300 too, blue was the only option though. My best buy didn't carry the other colors, unless I wanted to order, which would have taken like 3 weeks to arrive.
for the price it is the best quality/price phone ever IMO

Let's talk about being cheap Lol. I cancelled my wife's phone, and then reordered it, because Amazon drop the price of the white one to $259.99 from $264.99 lol.. I took that extra $5 and bought some of those mirco usb to usb type c adapters so I wouldn't have to by all new cables.

I'm the same way but I usually don't cancel I just call in and Amazon would reimburse me the difference

Gear VR

Guys, has anyone tried using the old Gear VR wich came with galaxy s7 edge? Can it be used with galaxy s8?
No, different connector so it doesn't fit

Are you sure if you use the USB adapter won't work. I ama asking as I left my adapter at work and can't tray it.

It will not due to the fact that one doesn't use a type C
If you are talking about the one with the Note 7 the probably that one is the one given to use as it has the ability to do either or.

I understand that both have different USBs, and thats why I asked, if its used with the USB-C adapter that came with the galaxy S8.

It wouldn't fit period. The adapter is way too large even if you stripped all the plastic away and tried making it smaller.
There's a reason why Samsung made a new one where you can change the end.
Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
That is shameful. I was hoping it will still work as I left the small adapter at work. Now I need to constantly borrow my wifes S7 edge. She won't like that.
If you have an 8 then you should have a new come coming.

For reference. You see where the black plastic Is? Probably 2-3mm where the metal meets the plastic is where the end of the USBC needs to be to even allow a device to fit with an adapter.
Your best option is to wait for the one that comes with your preorder. If you bought it 3rd party then your best bet is to buy a new one.
Or you can give your wife the 8 and you sport the 7 if VR is important to you.

That sucks. I took the $99 bundle and probably sell off all of it except the headphones. I need another pair as my old ones are like 4 years old. I have people lined up already where I will get paid $40 just to have those headphones.

Sweet! I just got mine. The button doesn't seem to be working to take the photo/video.
Is there anything that I have to do or just insert the S-Pen?
Put it the pen in the phone... Go to SETTINGS >ADVANCED FEATURES >S-PEN> AIR ACTIONS... Then adjust the pen settings to your liking.
As I recall, your phone most surely only recognizes the bluetooth pairing with the original SPen it came with, there is an option to pair multiple S pens, look for it in settings, use multiple s pens, this of course, for Samsung original S pens...
I have a Samsung HM5100 sPen - might want to check out those. I just got my Note 10+ a couple days ago so I haven't played with the HM5100 sPen on it yet -- however I did pair it today. Tonight maybe I'll have time to tinker.

Dang it! Now I've gotta see if I can find a like-new blue 10+ for anywhere close to what I could get for mine. Really wouldn't wanna spend more than 70 or 80 just to switch to blue and I doubt I'll find one, but I've gotta check.
Oh yea, and if I do end up spending more than that, I'm gonna be mad at you for making me do it!!
