I needed this article today. I have a colleague who just got her S8 Plus and keeps waving it in my face to irritate me (they even copied the "Plus" now! they are shameless). It isn't worth my time trying to explain to her why she is wrong. I do find it completely baffling though. She has an iPad and loves it. How can she not see how superior iOS is if she uses both operating systems every day? As far as I can tell the thing she loves about the S8 is that it has a nice screen. The kind of screen Apple have obviously been working towards and will come out with in September. Except it will be implemented more thoughtfully and will be better, as always. People are strange.

You are VERY misinformed. Samsung had phones named Plus in 2011......I hope you are not "shameless" in your apology to your colleague. Obviously your colleague isvery open minded and likes the Samsung S8 Plus.....perhaps you should open your mind and try Android.....you will be surprised at how well it works. Reading articles from Daniel Eran Digler will not give you a realistic idea of other devices that are out there.

I own a Nexus 7, which is running Marshmallow. I base my comparison on that and the countless other Android phones I have played with over the years. Including the S8. I stand corrected on the Plus moniker, I didn't know Samsung used it in the past. Though I have no doubt the reason they are using it now is based on how well it's working for Apple. Not sure why I'd apologize to my colleague, I didn't say anything to her. As I stated above.

This is risky for the studios, as once the rental is available, a high quality digital file is available for anyone to download illegally for free. That could seriously cut into theater ticket sales.

it would be very depressing if you bought this and then the paint peeled/chipped off. I think I'd have to keep it in a case. Show people photos of how it looks underneath. Or I could just not buy one.

They need to upgrade the processor as soon as possible and maybe pay developers to bring some amazing games to the platform. As it stands it feels about as exciting as Tizen. (I exaggerate a little there).
