if there's a game-changer coming out before summer then it would have made sense to wait for a little bit at least
Anyone with a device like that in the pipeline is planning to launch between early October and late November. They want the Christmas sales and for Black Friday to have cleared out older lines.
If you must buy in the next few months, just buy now.

I figured as much. only real wrinkle is my mum is on a super limited income and usually takes my hand-me-downs and her phone is falling apart so upgrading would help her out and wouldn't cost me any more than I'm paying now. but if there's a game-changer coming out before summer then it would have made sense to wait for a little bit at least.
the s6 is easily the best phone i've owned and after 24 months still functions perfectly so may wait for the s8 to future proof things for another 2 years (or go back to iphone as I use a mac and ipad pro so would work better with those).
