Weekly Recap: Our Lives Have Been Consumed by the Galaxy S8

Just as we expected, life at DL now revolves around the Samsung Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+. Is that a bad thing, though? If you aren’t a fan of this phone it may seem like it, but don’t worry, once another hot new smartphone hits the market, our attention will be diverted yet again.

This week, we posted up our unboxing for the Galaxy S8 and S8+, checked out a lot of different cases (we’re giving them away, too!), and also posted reviews for the Moto G5 Plus and Huawei Watch 2. Believe me, there was a lot of non-Galaxy S8 action taking place as well. We got our first possible look at the HTC U (aka U 11), Google Home gained multi-user support, and Verizon learned that unlimited data plans are very, very good for business.

Here’s all of the action you don’t want to miss.
