Apparently the size of the phone isn't going to be any bigger, just edge to edge and removing the home button so a bigger display area....rumour has it

[Bambino]

Even if the size of the phone won't be any bigger, the price will certainly be.:smileywink: There are a few Chinese phone manufacturers who are moving up the technological ladder and who are pricing their phones more competetively. Samsung needs to think about that when this new phone comes to market.

I doubt I will be getting one to be honest, I really cant justify another £700+ on a phone and like you say, Chinese phones are abundant here but Samsung are also much more reasonably priced due to market forces here. I'm happy enough with the Samsung 5.5 inch J7 Pime dual sim for a vey reasonable circa £150 depending on the exchange rate at any given time. Around £100 dearer in the UK...

And on the heels of this, the iPhone 8. http://www.forbes.com/sites/gordonkelly/2017/02/09/iphone-8-iphone-7s-wireless-charging-price/#5b4cd...

New innovation coming. Wireless charging. Something many Android phones have had for years.
