    I think the Gear VR is brilliant. It's my 120" OLED TV I couldn't otherwise justify buying.

    If you could see pixels like that on a TV, I'd be sending it straight back :pac:

    Oh it for sure it isn't perfect and I am hoping they get those 1200 and 1500 ppi panels into something soon, hopefully the S9 will have 1200 ppi and the New Exynos will have AMD GPU's that can drive it, but for me, the movie theater feel with the screen out to the edges of peripheral vision, even with screen door effect, beats the tiny 50" Panasonic Viera plasma with no visible pixels across the room.

    Ordered this case for my S8 :). I have a similar one for my S6 and found it to be excellent.

    Yeah, it's a nice case alright. Have had that for multiple devices at this stage. Found that even with my fairly large S6 Edge+, it didn't add too much bulk.

    Not a one plus one at all ha.

    Hi TrustedApple,

    If you are looking to sell your OnePlus Three please PM me. My son just smashed his UMi Plus and is back to using an old Vidafone POS so is in the market for an upgrade on that!!

    "This item does not ship to Ireland."

    Did you use ParcelMotel/Wizard/AddressPal?

    I hate when phone accessories don't ship to Ireland

    I can get Galaxy s8 from my bf he can get it on Vodafone but I'm on a different network. Is it going to be easy to unlock it like with a code I could buy on eBay or is it going to take a while until those codes are available? That's if it's locked to Vodafone

    I always wonder why people post to forums asking strangers rather than checking with the company they're buying from. It literally took me under 20 seconds to find out.

    Often if you get a device in the first batch, it won't be locked to any network. If it is locked, Vodafone have a policy of you having spent at least €200 on bill pay before you can unlock, I believe. You can still try through their online NAC request and see how you get on before then.

    So you say I should ask Vodafone if I can buy unlock code on eBay ? I didn't ask if the phone is locked or unlocked, I asked how hard it might be to buy unlock code on eBay. I always wonder why people don't read posts and feel like they need to give unrelated answer 😉

    Thanks, my bf is with Vodafone for over 10 years but if it's locked I would prefer to just get the code on eBay, I just hope it won't take like 2 months for the sellers to appear

    No, I didnt say that. If I actually said that, you wouldn't be asking! Maybe you like asking stupid questions, so go ahead if you enjoy it...

    Not sure why you're pointing this out, I never said otherwise. Maybe you just like pointing out the obvious...

    If your bf was a customer for over 10 years, he can get it unlocked for free by Vodafone. You'd know that if you did a quick Google search.

    Some dual camera prototypes for the S8.

    https://www.sammobile.com/2017/04/02/some-galaxy-s8-prototypes-appear-to-have-featured-a-dual-camera-setup/

    Hopefully they were close enough with the screen embedded fingerprint scanner that we'll see it on the Note 8. Apple look a cert to have it ready for the new iPhone too.

    One of the main features of the Snapdragon 835 is handling 32MP or dual 16MP cameras. The delay on the chip knocked everything back. Some of the later 835 devices will probably make use of it.

    One of the rudest posts I've ever seen on here.

    You slammed out a smart post for no reason whatsoever and then come back with this to justify it?

    Really? Try hard not to be a dickhead today.
