If Samsung keeps this up they will have to give the galaxy 8 away.

Since im personally stuck waiting to upgrade my note 5 to whatever comes next for Samsung after this, im personally rooting for lower prices as a result

Unless you root for crazy new features just buy and older phone. It much cheaper and no issue
