Samsung Canada did have a walk-in service center in Richmond though.

We need something like that here

can/do you do reviews?
LOL
I used the S8 for 12 hours and went back to my G6... I was never a fan of touchwiz and how they implement software. however, the phone IS a premium device, it feels like one and over time, touchjizz has gotten a lot better.
the fingerprint sensor is just in such an awkward spot

G6 fingerprint reader was very accurate for me. It registered like 95% of the time. I'm lucky to get like 50% with the S8 (which is why I disabled it).

Took some time but I've even gotten used to the positioning. I use it 90% of the time now, with 10% of time using pattern lock.

after reading all the negative comments on the fingerprint sensor i gave myself the weekend to finally set it up and consciously use it. I actually really like it - picks up my finger properly 95% of the time.

I am struggling to get the S8 or S8+6gb in Hong Kong. Does 6gb really matter? My current phone is only 2gb and I don't find it slow at all.

I had a LG G4 with 3gb ram, it was commonly known the interface was laggy, so that slowness can be the ram or OS. Never tried the S8 with a bunch of stuff installed, there could be issues current user is experiencing.

more ram doesnt mean faster. how the OS and skin handles the ram is more or less going to be the difference
with that said.. the fingerprint sensor location is a personal preference...

I guess my decision was made for me, my uncle in india ended up buying me the G6 lgh870ds version which will have the quad dac and support the lte bands for virgin mobile. Im hoping its a black colour, and i hope he ships it out as a gift so duty fees will be low.

But decided to sleep on it. Meanwhile I used my friends iPhone 6 plus and oh man. That thing is so smooth! IPhone 7 no headphone jack and iPhone 8 coming.. Bixby is annoying.
