I've been an LG user for years and decided to try the Samsung after reading the reviews. Although there a few LG perks I miss, this phone is pretty amazing. Feels great in the hand, perfect for one handed operation. Activation... well, enter your phone # and it does the rest, can't get any easier than that, sign in to your Google account... info from last phone transfers. Display is bright and clear, camera takes crystal clear pics, video quality is super sharp. The Iris scanner to unlock your phone is super fast and my favorite of all the unlock options. The Samsung browser is very fast and I've been using it over Chrome. Plenty of memory and you have the option to uninstall some of the pre-installed apps. Handles the live stream stocks app wonderfully, it's like a laptop in your hand. Awesome phone.

This is the best Samsung Galaxy phone to date. Battery life is excellent. Speed is amazing programs run smoothly. 64 gig bites of storage plus an external capability storage. Camera takes great pictures in the light and in the dark. The regular S8 is perfect size even for large hands like myself. I have nothing but great things to say about this phone. Highly recommend this phone to anyone. Samsung has made it to where you can delete bloat ware programs you really don't care for. Two thumbs up.

There are so many features to get use to, I feel just a little overwhelmed. So much more phone than what I expected, but HAPPY!
So much happier that I stayed with Samsung.

Alright let me get started by saying I had both Apple and android in the past what I like about the iPhone is that it just works, it those perfectly what it says it does and to me android is more complicated . Now let's get back to the s8 well the phone is amazing after you get back to the android of doing stuff it's almost a perfect phone great specs very fast the stuff in this phone will be the stuff you will see on the iPhone years from now and they will try to get credit for it and say they did it first. Don't believe that people other company's like Motorola HTC and LG and Samsung are years a head from Apple and the s8 is a perfect example of this so if your looking for a new phone and have the money get this one but yes the price is very high.

This phone surpasses any other phones I've used, including iPhones. It has great cameras, insane speeds, many ways to customize the phone to your liking, and man; the infinity edge display will leave you in awe! The screen resolution is 1440p and the edge panel comes in handy!

Best phone ive ever had yyet!! It has alll the specs i i lovee and want on a smartphone today the camera is amazing no doubt about it i even think its better than the S9 at the moment not in low light but bcuz its consistent and pics and vids are not as washed out. Still a killer flagship in mid end of 2018 if i must say. Battery is good CPU & GPU is still enough to handle all the most powerful applications even Fortnite Rules of Survival PUBG racing games u name it. Ive used this in the pool shower rain still works like a champ slow mo for skating and activities i do. Always on Display is the best. Still going to get updates even Android Pie (9.0) i love it.

I immediately bought the S8 when it went on sale. A great phone with good battery life, camera, and memory capacity. The only con is that all my charging cables have to be replaced with USB-C.

A lot of the features I had dialled in on my last phone are automatic now. The dictionary is most noticeable. Since I can't program the words anymore, autocorrect has become a nightmare. Often, the phone persistently changes words that are jargon, and is really difficult to get used to. The keyboard also changed, which makes no sense. It's a classic case of IT engineers lacking basic understanding of the human counterpart. I thought buying another galaxy would get me a new improved version. I was wrong. It's a new, completely different phone.
Pros:
Faster processing, improved reception, better functionality overall from a hardware perspective. This is coming from the S5, so I'm not really surprised. I liked that phone a lot though. Of all of the galaxies I've had, that one was the best. It just got old, and compatibility was becoming an issue.
I also like Bixby. I haven't used it much yet, but it's pretty cool. I hope Samsung gets it running properly, instead of abandoning it like most new ideas.
Cons;
I can't get a lot of the functions to work the way I like. It's like Samsung feels that they know what's best, and I should learn to trust their wisdom. It's annoying. My phone is supposed to be convenient for ME. I expect to use it MY way. My old phone allowed me to make it work the way i like. This one doesn't. Maybe I just haven't found the adjustments yet, but you'd think they'd be similar.
The lock screen is really annoying. I have to go through three screens to get in. There's cooler biometrics on it, but so what? Is it really more secure? Is it more convenient? I don't think so. It's nice having the clock on the screen when it's not in use if you want, but it IS a hassle.
The home button is gone. Now, there's a haptic feedback pressure sensor with no other use. I suppose that makes it easier to waterproof, but there have always been cases that solve that problem. Now the phone wouldn't work properly with a watertight case. I guess that's just adjusting, but I feel better having an actual button. The phone seems like it was designed strictly for people who enjoy flaunting the newest technology, not people like me who want the absolute best functionality. If I was in charge of Samsung, I'd have a version intended for people like me. Only tested, reliable functions. Let someone else field test the latest ideas. I want my tech to work the first time, every time. Other people like the newest prototypes. This phone is good for them.
Summary:
If you want the newest features, and don't really depend on your phone, this is a really hip phone to get. If you can't do without your phone working perfectly, you would probably be frustrated by this one. It's fine, overall, but by not being able to adjust functions to fine tune them, this phone forces you to give too much attention to tasks you just want to finish, and get on with your day.
Honestly, this phone is making me nostalgic for the days when we all used landlines.

Loving my new S8. It can do so much more than my old phone. I am learning new things about it everyday and I know there are features I haven't even tried yet. Would definitely tell others to buy. I haven't found anything negative yet.

The camera is phenomenal. It has so many features overall it definitely lives up to its description of a smart phone(not many cell phones do). The curved screen is one of my favorite features it makes the screen look almost 3D. The fact that Samsung office is so simple to navigate is amazing I complete homework and office work right off of my phone. I have had it for 2 weeks and the more I use it the more I love it. I definitely recommend it to anyone even the I phone fanatics.

This in amazing phone! Got it or my wife who transitioned from the iPhone due to frustrations with storage space and usability for data backup. With a removable media microSD slot, she is setup for 200+GB of space and won't have to empty her phone for a long time! The programs are easy to use, easy to get, and processing is fast! I can't wait to buy this or the S8+ for my next phone.

The S8 is a beauty. I've had it for about three weeks now, & I can say it is fast, easy to set up & use. My main interest was the camera & I am so glad to see it takes clear, beautiful pictures. My only concern, & reason why I gave 4 stars, is that I've been having trouble w/the iris & fingerprint recognition. It takes a while to recognize me or it doesn't at all & makes me type in my backup passcode. Now I just use a pattern lock to unlock the phone. Other than that, I'm liking this phone very much.
