what features?

As you've obv never used one with the edge you obv have no clue, it makes no difference viewing anything with it i.e. looks flat like on any screen and has the additional options/notification functions, it's brilliant.

So two extra bits of screen on the sides is fine but not two on the front, hmm. I took the **** out of my friend yesterday because text was hiding around the edge. .

Two on the front? wtf you on about, the notch (blank area) on the X is not used ffs. Hence crops out any fullscreen image. You're mental.

I should be clear that I’d love an edge to edge device without a notch and maybe that will happen, I don’t know how but it’s a fast moving game.

Just like the edge you don’t have to use the two extra screen areas, in a lot of cases - real use - it’s a bonus. You don’t find the edges of your device handy?

Where’s Samsung’s new tech? Just upping a few numbers costs nothing, software development also costs money, Don’t forget that if you’re not paying for a product, you are the product.

So Samsung doesn’t have to use the entire display area but Apple does. So weak.

I’ve told you many times, watching a movie on a smartphone is not something I consider when buying a device, I’m not a teenager.

Nothing to see here, definitely not cropped along that edge. Source - Samsung.

That’s not what’s in that Samsung movie, you can see a massive edge, massive, far bigger crop than the iPhone. You’re a joke.

We're too old, all the kids are doing it. I can understand a bit of catch up TV while stuck in an airport if you have no other choice but a film, on purpose, what a waste. I'm guess I'm a creator not a consumer.

6) ditto to WiFi
7) dont be stingy with RAM
8) please provide a decent fast charger and not a pos in retail box

add a larger battery to that list also to keep in touch with the rest.
Nothing new, just a couple of bigger numbers and a few made up things. Where's your innovation, new hardware?

That's a serious case of the pot calling the kettle black right there. All you've ever posted on here is about how crap the iPhone is and how amazing Samsungs are. If you're looking for a candidate for delusional fanboy of the month you might want to try out that amazing selfie cam you've got.

So the bloke that spent that last 3 months bitching about his iPhone not working properly is a fanboy as well. Excellent.

Here you go Custard Pie, I don't believe the Note acts any differently.

But, but, but, I thought the S8 was supposed to be perfection and only Apple did crap like cropping images or rendering sections of screen useless.

He'll start moaning about the iPhone weighing more than the Samsung soon, I'm sure there are a few stories of arm strain if you dig deep enough on the internet.
