    I'm stuck between buying the Razer Phone or going the S8 route.
    I'm aware that specs wise there's little between them and the Razer Phone looks interesting, while the S8 has that screen but is lumbered with that Touchwiz muck UI.
    Any suggestions?
    Or should I save the money and just get a Nokia 8 instead?

    Samsung UI has been much improved for quite some time. It's nice looking, fluid and functional.

    Id have neither, both flawed phones but the s8 less so. It has annoyances that would personally put me off regardless: fingerprint sensor position, bixby and its bizarre button dedicated to it, and laggy Samsung software.

    I don't game on my phone, but I love stock android.
    I suppose I could just load Google Now on the S8 or S8+, use stock apps too.
    Disappointed to hear of the lousy camera on the Razer, hard to imagine a device being launched with such a poorly implemented component.
    The S8+ is down to €199 on a €60 a month contract, which isn't too bad.
    Hmm...

    I wouldn't start a new contract on a phone thats nearly a year old. If you wait 2 months the s9 will be out. Save a few euro in the mean time for the extra lump at the start.
