After seeing these more and more around at stores, I'd call them in the running for the best looking and best built phones and head and shoulders above other phablets in in-hand feel. A lot of it is just the narrowness of the device for a 5.7" screen, but the edges help here as well.
On the discussion about glass, it's somewhat amusing that the assumption is the next iPhone (2017) will also be glass front and back with a curved AMOLED screen. Wouldn't totally surprise me if it ended up quite similar to the Note 7 with the symmetrical front and bottom glass sides with the normal Apple design points like a circular home button.
My guess on the S8? Aluminum unibody with the same design/curve as the Note 7 - basically with the metal frame continuing from the sides all the way around the back in the same shape.
You can't have an aluminum back and still have wireless charging... So unless you think the S8 is taking that away I'm curious why you think they'd go down that path
