My old note 4 finally gave up the ghost and turned tits up on me recently, as they discontinued the note line of products due to an over enthusiastic battery I got me an S8+.

They say it has the same screen space due to the screen going all the way to the bevel BUT if you have great fat fingers like mine you end up randomly starting an app whenever you pick it up. And some apps look really weird when the screen disappears off into infinity at the edge.

There is one issue I find annoying - the music app randomly starts playing, walking along the street and Spotify start up while the phone is in my pocket. Spotify got chucked and moved to Play Music but did not put an icon on the front screen - can't blame accidental launching.

A couple of days later I'm in a meeting and the bloody music starts playing, play Music got removed from the phone with prejudice.

After ratting around the interwebs I have come to the conclusion that it may be driven by the bluetooth on the phone - but I don't have bluetootht turned on, weird.

I'm convinced that the phone activates the default music app when tickled by a bluetooth connection, even if bluetooth is not enabled.

Still it is a nice shiny new phone so I'll keep it and hope Samsung fix the issue. It does make a nice ereader.
