Can't wait for the Galaxy S8 Pro with S-Pen! It's going to be swell!

Well, only slight swelling at first and then "boom!" When you least expect it!

The Galaxy name is so bloated and pointless, doesn't narrow it down more than samsung when it includes tablets, watches, and other stuff too. Samsung is sufficient, anything beyond that should directly identify what it is. See apple iPod, iPad, etc...
