    What? It says "Online Only" until 12/8. Then it will be available through retail and other channels.

    Here's the full Hulu FAQ's: https://www.sprint.com/content/sprint/sprint_com/us/en/support/solutions/services/hulu.html?INTNAV=LP:HuluPros:FAQs

    Yeah, we can't sign up because we are on the Hulu no commercials plan.  But it's a good offer for others.

    I like this phone, but do not love it. I'm not too butt hurt because Galaxy for life thing so I'm not locked into it for 2 years+.

    I have the S8+, my wife's S8 has pretty bad battery life compared to the S8+. I'm not having random reboots and freezing like others may be reporting and I use my phone pretty heavily, have an Android Wear watch always attached, constantly stream music via different bluetooth headphones and my car kit, and the S8+ doesn't really hang up for me at all. My issues are just more in the usability side of the phone. The fingerprint reader, which you DO need sometimes for authentication, is terribly placed and no matter what people say, you never really get used to it. A case helps, sure, but doesn't solve me putting my finger on the camera lens. (Iris unlock is superior, but not used by many apps for entry). I STILL can not get the double tap power to open camera right, screen on, screen off, then on, then off, then maybe the camera opens? 

    I still have a beef with the picture quality of the camera. Samsung does too much with the software processing and fuzzes up images. Seems like every other manufacturer is updating camera quality on released phones except Samsung. 

    Unfortunately, for me, Samsung phones really fit into my life now with the wireless charging (significant investment in charging pads everywhere in my life) and the Samsung Pay really is convenient and (importantly) safe. IF I was in the market now, I'd get the Note 8. However, IF you are unencumbered by the Samsung need, then I would get the Pixel XL2. Pure Google, pure speed, great camera and non-idiotic finger printer reader location. (Pixel2XL and not the Pixel2, the Pixel2 is ugly (bezels) and different than the Pixel2XL).

    Again though, the Pixel might not have the Sprint network optimizations like the Note or S8 might have. 

    If your current phone is the S6 still like your profile says, then the Note8 is going to be a size shock, but I love this size screen. 

    Yes, I still have the GS6.  For me, the size of the S8+ and Note 8 is too big.

     

    Thank for your thoughts though.

    You seem very misinformed and quick to bash for no reason. 

    How is this any different from what Android OEMs do? These phones typically don't come with the Dash charge or QuickCharge bricks. All of that costs extra. 

    So it's ok for Samsung/LG/HTC/OPO/etc to charge extra, but not Apple? Why the double standard?

    My GS6 came with a fast charge adapter.  I'm pretty sure the GS7 and GS8 did also.
