I wanted to ask all of you if you are interested in the current phones that are out there or the ones that are coming out like the iPhone 8, Pixel 2 etc. more?

both, the note 8 will probably be the best phone of 2017, i phone 7s will probably be the same phone, pixel 2 will have a boring design while having the smoothest Android experience, to be honest, really don't care anymore.

Interested in the new ones even though it's all just gonna be crappy 835s and the newest Axx from apple

 

More excited for the design aspects than the performance cause we're hitting a barrier. Or they're just hiding things for money

Or no one simply needs more performance.
And that is also why I don't care about any new phones.

I sure do care about phones but I think a lot of them are overpriced for what they are. I can't be bothered to spend a large amount of money on a phone whilst my current one is still working (Which I've had for 3 years)

My Rig:

Xeon E5 1680 V2 @ 4.5GHz - Asus Rampage IV Extreme X79 Mobo - 64GB DDR3 1600MHz - 8 x 8GB Corsair Vengeance Low Profile - CAS 10-10-10-27 - AMD Radeon RX 6700XT Sapphire Pulse 12GB - DeepCool E-Shield E-ATX Tempered Glass Case - 1 x 1TB Crucial P1 NVMe SSD - BeQuiet Straight Power 11 850W Gold+ Quad rail - Fractal Design Celsius S36 & 6 x 120mm silent fans - Lenovo KBBH21 - Corsair Glaive RGB Pro - Windows 10 Pro 64-Bit

 

Monitors - 3 x Acer Nitro 23.8" 1080p 75Hz IPS 1ms Freesync Panels = AMD Eyefinity @ 75Hz

The S8 is the first new phone in a while that looks substantially better than what had came before it. I am hoping the next iPhone will be at that level of snazzy, if not I will prob pick up the Note 8 later this year.

Well, I am an old fart. I use a phone to, well, talk to people and that is about it. As a result, I am not interested in the new phones that are about to come out. I am not interested in the current phones and haven't been for at least 15 years. :P

I haven't had any issues with compatibility with the acception of ATT purposely blocking the use of their older app. I use safari and YouTube didnt come pre installed on 8.
