So i can upgrade my phone now. i have sprint. i currently own the galaxy s6. i like the size of the phone and do not want anything bigger. i think too big makes it annoying to keep in my pocket.

the main things i care about is camera quality, which i am sure most new phones are pretty good. and the storage size on the phone.

i play a few basic games and just want to do basic internet browsing. and of course text / phone calls. so just basic smartphone stuff. dont really care too much about special things.

i dont really even need to upgrade, but since i can now for basically the same price as paying for the phone i have now, i might as well upgrade.

suggestions? im considering the galaxy s8, but i think this phone is a bit larger and thats a turn off for me

edit: almost forgot to put in here as well. definitely do NOT want an iphone

i heard the bezel is super thin on the s8. i wonder how using a case for it would affect the screen and what you can press. that would be annoying if the case slightly gets in the way of using the phone. of course it depends on the case, but still, if the bezel is super thing, then the case would probably still cover it a bit no matter what

theres cases that protect the top and bottom of the phone while leaving the sides bare

if theres a big phone thats $20 and the best phone in the world, i still wouldnt get it. i cant stand to lug around a fat square in my pocket everywhere. if i had a purse then i could store it easier.

Love the S8. And you can get some pretty amazing covers, which cover the top and bottom and keep the sides free.
