Yes, phones are cheaper in Dubai than most of the countries. I also bought my S8+ from souq.com for 66k last month. You will get it for even cheaper in December.

Bought samsung s8 duos few days back. Coming from oneplus 3t, feeling lag in touchwiz and nova launcher also. There is noticable delay in opening apps like dialer etc. Also battery life is not good. Getting max 3 hrs screen on time. Really missing the smoothness of 3t. But screen and camera is much better on s8. I heard that s8 is more smooth on oreo. Any idea when we will get it? Also how can i install oreo beta on s8. Any help will be much appreciated .

Oreo Beta is available for 950F, but it requires you to be in the UK.
Only way to get around this is by installing a custom ROM based on the Oreo Beta.
People have reported that it's much smoother and has improved RAM management compared to 7.0. We'll get it around Jan-Feb hopefully.
Oreo Beta is currently for Snapdragon variants.

Oreo Beta is available for both Snapdragon and Exynos on the S8/S8+.

It's only available on the Snapdragon Note 8 however and not the Exynos one.

Really interested in buying a Galaxy S8, but really scared after seeing so many adds of S8 for sale with broken backs or front glass.... How do you guys take care of your devices?

    The cross gen era really made people think 60fps would be a new standard lol

    Welp, done with Hellblade 2. Thoroughly disappointed. Such a nothing burger after the unique experience of the first game.

    I have a PS5 but I am not satisfied with the experience. I am currently saving for a 4080 64 GB rig soon. Bit will wait for Pro if performance improves. This gen has been so bad I don't plan on buying consoles anymore for AAA gaming.

    Both PS and Xbox have been a flop this gen as they can barely maintain 30 fps in a lot of AAA games th.

    As per WCCF Tech review, Xbox Series X doesn't even maintain a consistent FPS and sometimes drops into the mid-20fps range. That's unacceptable, tbh.

    Gradually transitioning from console gaming to PC as the games are not worth it. 6 hours of Hellblade 2 is just not worth the $50 price tag.
    Score 1 for game pass. I wouldn't pay full price for this at retail either.

    Just downloaded my first legit digital PC game on GoG at a discount of $8: Two Point Hospital. The same team behind Theme Hospital Two Point Studios now part of Sega. And I am having more fun than most recent AAA games except of course BG3.

    Still, I don't like either Sony or Microsoft as they are focusing more on corporate greed than delighting customers. PC gaming is best of gaming and worth every penny.

    PC Gamer score of 58/100 for Hellblade 2??? Is it really worse than Gollum that was 64/100? Microsoft games can't even come close to high scores of Sony exclusives apparently.

    About the Microsoft (and Sony) debate, I feel both have become too greedy and losing their minds over corporate greed. Personally, I will never buy any console next gen and switch to PC gaming where democracy reins.
