Hey guys,

MWC is fast approaching (Day 1 kicks off Mon 26th!) and as seems to be tradition, there's some excitement happening before hand. Samsung are holding a 'Galaxy Unpacked 2018' event this Sunday from 5pm UK time. Now, we've no idea what Samsung plan to talk about but for the tech-savvy folk here, we're sure you've got a few ideas wink.

You can watch Samsung's own live stream of the event when it starts right here.

Keep your eyes peeled on the O2 Twitter and/or Facebook accounts and we'll break any news as and when it happens. If something does happen, we'll update everyone on the O2 Community too. And if you're really intrigued, you can register for updates here.

So, who's excited? We got any Samsung fans here who think they know what we'll see?

Just standard Touchwiz with no fancy add ons.

Thanks. That ultimately was what I reverted back to. Just installed another software update as well...:smileytongue:

If it asks in future, do not choose easy mode!
I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.

The clarity and colours on Samsung screens are second to none, I’d love to own one...  but it’s the bloatware and touch wiz that I can’t stand.

 

And having seen a few snippets and read bits it seems that there’s nothing substantially new to the S9. Can’t see there being a big rush for this! 


If it helps any, I've been buying Samsung for years - Note 3, then S7 Edge, then Note 8 (what I currently use) and bloatware isn't really an issue these days - certainly nothing that impacts storage, memory or CPU cycles to any sort of noticable degree.

And TouchWiz... I don't have an issue with it personally, but the great thing with Android is there are loads of launchers (most free) on Play Store that give even more functionality - some practical, many aesthetical. I use Nova Launcher Prime and love it. It's quick, lightweight, and has tonnes of functionality and features - even gestures. One such gesture I use is if I 'flick up' on my camera app icon, it'll launch my gallery app.

The screen quality and colours are one of the number one reasons I go with Samsung - everything just 'pops', and on the infinity display it just looks amazing, and the S9 is no different. If you have an S8, the S9 does still offer plenty of reasons to upgrade - the improved camera, super slow motion video, AR Emoji, dual stereo speakers (they are a huge plus over the S8 speaker) and 4K video at 60fps (rather than 30fps).
