So I'm currently using my OnePlus One since the day since it got announced. The phone itself has been great and does everything I need it to do with pretty much no lag. The only real issue I have with it is that the battery life is complete garbage now and that it overheats on the occasion. I'm really debating if I should just buy a Galaxy S8 tomorrow or if I should wait until the Galaxy S9 which might not even be available for me to purchase until April 2018. There is a killer deal on Freedom Mobile (Canada) right now that has a plan with 6 GB LTE and $200 off a Galaxy S8 if I pair it up with a $65 plan. So my question is do I buy the S8 right now or wait another 6-7 months with my OPO with terrible battery to wait until they announce Galaxy S9?

If you get a good deal on it the S8 is a great phone. It has everything you'll need.

My dad has the S8 and loves it; no issues whatsoever.  There's always going to be something new on the horizon or something better.  Go into a store and use the demonstration model if you can, then get what you like within your budget.  If it's on sale, all the better.
