Far too much money for a phone. When did they become too expensive? I think anything over £300 is too much.

On TCB is states £75 for "Samsung S8 & S8 Plus New Contracts and Upgrade Pre-Orders".
This is Sim Free so don't think it qualifies.

Why don't they have the Arctic Silver? I thought there were 5 colours...

There is, but some might be reserved for 'exclusives' i.e. the titanium silver S7(I think)

All these advances in technology and still a poor battery

this is built using 10nm manufacturing process than 14nm its predecessor...... definitely it should be more efficient meaning same battery size still lasts longer

Not really what you're referring to, but while the battery life per cycle might not be anything special, apparently it has a more advanced battery that will not degrade over time as much as their previous phones.

Indeed. That's why I'm sticking with my £105 Xiaomi. Amazing battery life and a decent Android device....and it has the fingerprint scanner in the 'right' place!

It is a lot, but it's not just a phone. It can replace your pc, camera, sat nav, health tracker etc etc etc. I'd love it to be cheaper, but they can do a fair bit

And makes you wonder why Apple get slagged off so much for there pricing, Samsung are just as bad....

I tend to agree. I just picked up an iphone 7+ and I'm beginning to regret it.

This question should go out to Apple as well.

Although i agree that Samsungs pricing seems to be mirroring Apples, there is the consolation that it will begin to reduce not long after release unlike with iPhones.
