Customers are saying

Customers enjoy the Galaxy S8's camera, long battery life, user-friendly interface, and reasonable price point. They appreciate that the phone is unlocked, allowing them to use it with any carrier. Some users find the phone to be fragile and slippery, and dislike the pre-installed software (bloatware).

    I bought an unlocked S8 2 weeks ago when my 7 edge was crashing and I really haven't learned all its bells and whistles yet but what I do know, I REALLY like. The screen is narrower than the 7 edge so it fits nicely in my pocket or small bag. It's fast and I'm really learning to like not having a physical home button. The camera is fantastic! Pictures come out so crisp and clear. Not real sure about this Bixby thing. At this point it's more of a nuisance and wish there was a way to turn it off, but I can deal with it because the rest of the phone is awesome! So far, so good!

    I've only had my Samsung S8 for about a week and really enjoyed it. This is the first time to purchase a top of the line phone and I've not regretted it. I need to have it longer to see if it continues to meet/exceed my expectations to give it 5 stars.

    I just have it for 1 month maybe... But I love it. You can easily get use to the new system without bottoms. I bought the blue one and is beautiful. Performance is very good, and what to say about the camera. And the most important I don't have to worry about the space. The only thing I was expecting better was the battery...But it can be almost one day without location and Bluetooth without charging.

    Not a technology expert but using the unlocked phone to integrate to my current provider was fairly easy. Save hundreds of dollars by buying the unlocked phone and did not loose anything in product compared to the higher price that it would have cost from my provider. Didn't loose any data on the crossover nor did I loose any capabilities. I'll do it again when I need a new phone.

    This my first smart phone and hopefully my last. This phone has the best screen I've ever seen on any portable devise,battery life is great and the phone feels and looks great. Hats off to the design team because that's the first thing I look at when deciding on spending my hard earned money. Keep up the good work Samsung I'm enjoying my 65in ks8000 and now this great piece of portable tecnology!!!

    I used to be a loyal iPhone fan, but after reading reviews on both the iPhone 8 & Samsung Galaxy S8, I chose to buy the Samsung. While, I still like iPhones, esp Siri's voice options, I'm glad I chose the Samsung. I love how fast it is. I'm also loving the camera. The phone takes great pictures in low light. I also like how easy it is to personalise the phone with Samsung themes.

    I just bought this phone about a week ago and I think it is as good as my previous Samsung Galaxy Note 3 except the width is smaller. Pros: Video and photo quality is much better and clearer. I think there are more features on S8 but I haven't had time to experience them yet. Cons: It has a new feature called Bixby and if you hit the second button on the left side, it will turn on Bixby though you don't want it. There is no option to disable it.

    I have had and been using this phone for about two weeks now and everything has been flawless. Biggest downside to it is the fact that it only has one, bottom facing speaker, but I was not looking for a phone to replace my audio system so that does not matter to me. Camera is great. Call quality is great. Plenty of storage space that is expandable. Overall, two thumbs up from me.

    I have user Microsoft and Blackberry and miss them both. But the companies abandon us users. So I am starting out in the Android World, The phone was not bad because it do not have all the programs i will never use. It has been easy to learn my way around. I feel the phone is made well and the battery life i pretty good. As of now i am satified.

    just misses 5 stars

    Awesome phone, but missed 5 stars due to these reasons: * rear fingerprint scanner is awkwardly placed and does not seem as responsive as the S6 * dedicated hardware button to try to force us to use Bixby * curved screen is cool, but creates difficulties with screen protectors Unrelated to star rating, here are some notes about using this unlocked phone on Verizon: * I was able to simply pull out the Verizon SIM card from my S6, insert into the S8, and was off and running - no activation steps or anything, as it should be. * Verizon "visual" voice mail does not work with the unlocked S8, requiring you to use the old school *86 to check voice mail. However, you can setup a free Google Voice account and configure it so that your missed calls forward to your Google number, and subsequently to an app on your phone.

    Phone does everything you need it to do and being unlocked you're not stuck with the dumb preloaded apps you don't want! Only two minor things is you can't do the video chat feature they took the option off of the phone but you can download a app for that if you wanted and the phone is very slick/slippery I've already dropped it a few times so you definitely want to buy a case for it!

    I've been a Samsung Galaxy fan since the S3, I have all of them since then. The Galaxy S8 is one of my favorites, is by far the most smart phone, versatile, good looking out of all of them. Takes awesome pictures, it is pretty fast, lightweight, and has a lot of great features since the s6 (which apple is barely implementing on their X version besides the emoji videos). The only thing is that I recommend getting insurance and protecting it since the first moment because the screen is fragile just like all the new phones out there.
