S8 Plus isn't as large as my 5.9" Nexus 6. A little extra size and a larger battery.

well I had the same issue, I bought the S8 first, I have big hands and after using the S8 for few days, the S8 seemed to skinny and small, so I returned it and bought the S8+ which fits better in my hands!

He must have whooper jr. Hands ?

I had the same issue. The s8+ is easier to hold then the note 7 was. the s8 feels almost to small to hold like i have to squeeze where the s8 feels natural in my hands.. if that makes sense..

I switched from the S7 Edge to s8+ and am really happy. About the same width and only a bit taller. I'm surprised that I have the screen doesn't seem larger though,which is another reason I'm happy I went with the bigger one. Btw it's about the same height as the 6P if you've felt that one.

hands down S8+

Decided S8+

Well geeze, you posted this in the S8+ group so it's obviously going to be a bit one-sided.

Lol

Having tried both, I went for the S8+
The standard S8 felt too small in my hands, although I am 6'7" and have pretty big hands, so I might not be the best person to give advice.

Is it fits ur jeans pocket +

Wow
im in love,,, i WANT IT, I NEED IT!!!
*****, MONEY, NEXUS S
is gonna be my life style now..
Wow. All I can say. I hope this is good...
Front facing camera, nice
I hope there are some capacitative buttons at the bottom, love those on my N1.
Hmmmm....Back cover seems to be plastic like the Galaxy S. So build quality is **** compared to the N1/Desire. Hope it has a few surprises to make up for that.
hmm, looks cheap vs. N1, too glossy and plastic imo
Nexus One looks better.
Spec wise this is better though.
Finally something we can wait for My next phone for sure
Looks cheap n nasty
too much plastic

100% agree with you...
I'm disappointed by the plastic...Nexus One is staying with me for another year or so it seems...
Specs???????

Most likely Vibrant with Gingerbread and flash?
I will NOT be getting this. I am absolutely disappointed that the next nexus is a effin samsung. I just hope htc will release another true nexus in the future. Until then ill stick with the n1 which looks better than that POS
I'm in the market for a new phone (n1 has a broken screen)... this is tempting for sure. Waiting to hear more about specs and if we are going to see one on AT&T bands..
Am I right in thinking that the Tmobile US bands are the same as a majoritory of the UK bands?
HTC probably said : lol we're not dealing with more unlocked bootloader replacements.
Superamoled + better multitouch isnt enough for me to give up my N1. Solid build and design trump both of those features for me.

Pff...if the Chinese have Samsung beaten on building an ICS for their phone...
Ironic, we don't yet have a proper leak yet...
LOL! Chinese are real fast
wish the flash was in the right place, i want one of those battery covers
800x480 on a 5.3" screen? The pixels must be big as euro coins!

yup, that is not samsung note... but a fake one... maybe we should call "clone"? but if the price is very cheap, maybe can buy one for try...hahaha XD

Tbh, that's not bad! It's just a shame there's no mention of other details, like how much storage there is and if it does support SDHC-cards. One can also see what looks like S-Pen, but I do not know if it's just for the looks or if it is actually functional.
I know several people who could actually use this phone just fine.
I can't even imagine how much of a headache it would be going phone shopping in China. We should all have that problem.
the samesung fauxlaxy clnotned?
Samesung, Nukia, and Motorolo.
Salute China.

Edit: Upon closer inspection, the first picture in the link does NOT have an S-Pen. The third seems to show one. Either way... no thanks.
Also, the flash is different between the first picture and the third... If it's more like the third then I want that back-piece!
yes, but there are two different versions, one is 5.3 the other is 5.0
Note w/out a pen ei?

[Q] Generic Galaxy Note mobiles from Ebay

Hi
These phones look and pretty much have the same model number as the Galaxy note, would they run the Galaxy Roms ?

I love how its showing pictures of the note with Samsung scratched out of the box! This made my day! Buy a note and not a cheap knock off.

Plus, they also have a picture of a HTC phone in the description... so who knows what the phone will look like when you get it....
hahaha Andrews operating system...
i've seen quite a number of these knock offs a plenty especially in Asia, especially the fruit phones...
usual dual sims, tv tuner and the best... the phone has a telescopic antenna for receiving tv signals... nyahahaha
Thanks guys I already have a note, I wanted something to mess about with rather than fork out for another note, cheers for your help
I love some of the wording in the description, plus some strawberries make it look nicer.

it is pretty easy to find the informations now
if the fingerprint scanner goes in the back, it kills it for me. Whatever happened to integrating it in the screen?

Going to skip for s9. Tiny batteries for those screen size is a buzz killer.

Absolute agree to this. What about having the phone on the table and typing, browsing.
I hope it is just an experiment and it's gonna be revised on the 9 series.

why you dont like the s8+ ??
Slow charging , looks like qc2
Very narrow width
Feels like the inside of an obelisk
I'm not impressed with the curved edges
I'd prefer something like the mi mix
It's not bad.
It's just not outstanding.
Plus severely hyped.
