I am not getting technical @Chris_K (God forbid) ...I just think the S8 has to be the best Samsung have ever produced as they are going to be under so much scrutiny after the Note 7 fiasco. 

I wont be getting one as I am perfectly happy with my Note 4......but I'm hoping this S8 astounds us all with some superlative features.

All sounds pretty good to me though Just a shame it rather spoils the suspense of the launch event!

Not sure it would win me over from Huawei (I'm loving the Leica partnership too much ) but some cracking advancements which have certainly got my attention.

I'm very excited to see what they have come up with! Currently using an S6 Edge (which is great) so it will be good to see what the latest handset has to offer

So it's official Samsung's latest flagship phones are the Galaxy S8 and S8+.

Very little info at this stage but according to the BBC Red Button Technology page the phones' screens are larger and bigger although the phones are smaller than the S7 and S7 Edge.

Also the home button has gone and a virtual assistant introduced. And both models have displays thst curve round the phones' sides. Can't quite picture this but it could be cool.

No more info at the moment. Am waiting to hear from Samsung with more detail as I registered interest on their next smartphone..

I am desperate for a new phone and this could be it - hopefully.

Thanks @MI5 I didn't check Welcome News. I've read the blurb and this is definitely going to be my new phone just have to decide between the S8 and S8+. It'll be a question of cost, of course.

[Cleoriff Level 86: Prestigious]

I have just looked on the Samsung website at both the S8 and S8+

S8 - £689 (Midnight Black or Orchid Grey)

S8+ £779 (Same colours)

If ordered before April 19th you will get it 7 days early

Options to pay are either outright or via 2 different payment plans.

All the above is info if you buy from Samsung directly

There are links to other retailers included

A fair bit cheaper than some other phones too.

I must say I'm very temped by this. It's a lovely looking handset
