Posted September 11, 2017 Huh, I've always been a fan of the curved edges thaught it made the phones more ergonomic. My biggest fret with samsung is when they removed the IR blaster when they jumped from S6 to S7.

Posted September 11, 2017 @Himommies I never really had that problem, might just be because ive had phones with curved edges for two generations so im kinda used to it by now Omega- I5 6600k | Gigabyte GTX 1060 | Cougar Panzer | DDR4 16GB 3000MHz | MSI Z170 Gaming M5 EVGA 650 GQ | AOC 60Hz Freesync Panels x2 | AOC 144hz Freesync Panel x1 Epsilon- I7 2700k | Asus GTX 970 | Corsair 780t | DDR3 8GB 1600MHz | EVGA Z68 FTW Mobo Corsair 750W G2 | Acer R240HY x2 Upsilon- i7 5500u | 6GB DDR3 | 720p 60Hz panel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dad got charged for large data consumption, and it turned out G-Mail was the culprit, and he never even uses it. Samsung's bloatware on top of it is bothersome.

I do like the settings menu but most of everything else is unneeded. i've never ran into that problem, where a rouge app suddenly uses crap ton of data. the latest Android versions, least past Android L, have some doze features that prevent it. while i'll always prefer stock android, Grace UX isn't that bad as Touchwiz once was. 25 minutes ago, minervx said: But the only way to get a reasonable price is to be owned by a carrier. i got my unlocked S8 for several hundred dollars off, direct from samsung.
