Time again for a new phone

[MTG#10]

Pre-ordered the S8 today. First time Ive ever pre-ordered anything in my life. Thought about the Plus but ultimately decided the .4" of screen wasnt worth the extra bulk in my pocket. Plus the regular S8 still has more screen than my current Nexus 6p.

I normally dont upgrade so fast, only had the 6p for a little over a year and I loved it at first but the battery life is turning to shit. Bought my daughter one too and exactly 2 weeks after the warranty was up her screen wouldn't turn on. These things have great reviews but in my experience their longevity is garbage.

I feel very confident the S8 will be the greatest phone ever made. After the Note 7 fiasco you can bet Samsung made damn sure these things would be superb quality.

You hanging on to your 6p's or trading them in/selling? I've had a 6p for year and a half....my favorite phone ever. Cracked the screen almost a year ago (still perfectly functional but slightly annoying). Think I'm waiting the phone market out to replace until the Pixel 2 hits, but I might be interested in your 6p if you're selling? Let me know!

Regarding the 6P and the battery, it's a bitch to swap the battery out (though there are plenty of walkthroughs online), but once I did, my phone has been like new. Total cost for the battery plus supplies was probably about $20 (though a heat gun could run you a little more if you don't already have one).

I'll be selling mine, my daughter's screen doesnt light up.
