AFAIK, that's correct hardware-wise. But only the 955U1 IMEIs can be used across all carriers. Carrier models flashed to 955U1 won't work across all carriers. For instance, you can't use Verizon, T-Mobile, & AT&T GS8 flashed to 955u1 on Sprint b/c Sprint won't add the IMEI into their system. Verizon flashed to 955U1 can be used on all carriers except Sprint. Buying a true 955U1 model GS8 is the best overall option. Sent from my SM-G955U1 using Tapatalk

Yes, but they listed the Unlocked models as "Special Edition" models for the GS7 & GS8 families. Sent from my SM-G955U1 using Tapatalk

I'm using the Coral Blue GS8+ 955U1 right now on Sprint just fine. CA works, as well as WiFi calling (although I don't use it). Sprint Chat had no issue activating my phone. I just had to stop by a corporate store to pick up a free compatible SIM card. Sent from my SM-G955U1 using Tapatalk

Most likely because I'm coming from a GS7E on the U firmware, I'm not really blown away by the GS8+. Already thinking about selling it as soon as the GS9 comes out. Sent from my SM-G955U1 using Tapatalk

Ouch. You didn't have any protection on the phone? As for my GS7E, I gave it to my mom. She was still using the 2013 Galaxy Note 3. Sent from my SM-G955U1 using Tapatalk

You can if you buy with a Best Buy credit card. I use the Best Buy credit for 5% rewards. After all of my gift certificates & gift card, I only paid $420. ???? Sent from my SM-G935U using Tapatalk

Coral blue S8 & S8+ came out today! Gonna be picking mine up at Best Buy. It was on sale as well from $825 to $675. Got the Unlocked model. Sent from my SM-G935U using Tapatalk

I drove to Zion market in Irvine but I didn't connect to Band 26 LTE nor 800 MHz voice, despite setting band priority to Band 26. At least in LA, I connect to 800 MHz voice. Sent from my SM-G935U using Tapatalk -
Is there really LTE 800 in Irvine? I see a TOY site by John Wayne airport on the map & another site by Zion Market. Sent from my SM-G935U using Tapatalk

Have you tried a factory reset? Or try flashing the 935U firmware. It's great. Faster, smoother, less bloat, and better battery life. Sent from my SM-G935U using Tapatalk

Not for me. I've had my GS7E since March 7th of 2016. Sent from my SM-G935U using Tapatalk

There are 5 of us in the ED1500 plan. After discounts, we each pay ~$47. Sent from my SM-G935U using Tapatalk

Sprint just today sent an offer for the S8 ($200) & S8+ ($300) with 2-yr committment for my line too. Gonna get the phone now. ???? Sent from my SM-G935U using Tapatalk

On the Sprint GS7E, however, flashing with the Unlocked model 935U did not DSU the phone. The DSU had to be performed first, flashed to 935U, then other GSM SIM cards worked. Sent from my SM-G935U using Tapatalk

I'll get it once Coral Blue comes out. Sent from my SM-G935U using Tapatalk

Flashed my phone to the Nougat 935U ROM and it's great! So nice not having so much bloatware. Sent from my SM-G935U using Tapatalk

Sprint recently sent me an "exclusive" offer for me to get the S8 for $200 or the S8+ for $300 after signing up for the 2-yr IB plan. So in a way, they've brought back the 2-yr subsidy pricing. Only problem is that they sent this offer not to my primary phone line but to my sister-in-law's. I have the legacy ED1500 plan. I called to see if they could transfer this offer to my line but they wouldn't. Sent from my SM-G935U using Tapatalk

Did you guys upgrade from the GS7E? Sent from my SM-G935P using Tapatalk

Over how many hours of usage? Also, with all toggles turned on? (BT, location, data, etc) Sent from my SM-G935P using Tapatalk

I told them my battery life is unusually bad and that it drains really fast. They put in a new battery and flashed the phone to the latest Nougat rom. Pink line warranty should be no problem. Sent from my SM-G935P using Tapatalk

Drove to the Samsung repair center in Los Angeles & got a new battery for free under warranty. Battery life is amazing now! Sent from my SM-G935P using Tapatalk

After 20 hrs, what was your SOT? ------------------- Can you guys with the S8 or S8+ share your SOT after 17 to 19 hrs of phone usage since full charge? Sent from my SM-G935U using Tapatalk

I ended up reverting back to the latest Marshmallow 935U rom. Hate the worse battery life of the Nougat roms. Sent from my SM-G935U using Tapatalk

Samsung again fails with its limited color choices. You'd think they would offer the coral blue color option from the get-go after seeing how well-received the color was. I'm holding back on getting the GS8P until an unlocked coral blue variant is released. Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk

Correct. you'll first have to DSU the phone. Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
