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 this phone almost a year ago and loved it right away:) It is quite narrow, and fits well in a female hand. Very slim, stylish and elegant. The color rocks!:) Also, I have taken hundreds of beautiful shots with it, outdoors and indoors. Nothing ever failed me in this phone, all the apps work flawlessly. I have one issue with this phone: the placement of the fingerprint reader. It is absurd! You will never hit it right, which makes it unusable. How could one come up with this design?:(

    Finally upgraded to a top spec phone. Flip flopped between iOS and Android and in end went for S8. Loving it. battery life is great and finally have enough space on the device for all the apps I want without worrying about clearing cache every time i want to upgrade those apps. Only downside is that the touchscreen is perhaps not sensitive enough when i compare with an iOS device

    I am a big fan of Samsung phones so it is no surprise that I think the Samsung Galaxy S8 is fantastic. This is the first time I have ever bought an unlocked phone and I will never go back to getting one from a carrier with all their added bloat ware. It was my perception that it would be more time consuming to activate an unlocked phone but I was wrong. I went to the TMobile store to get the nano sim card and they activated it with no problems or questions asked. And I love being able to order and pay online and just go in the store to pick it up in an hour.

    Best feature is the camera , capabilities of this camera exceed my prosumer camera &post processing is a breeze. I bought this phone two years ago and it still works The battery not as long lasting as the day I got it but will still get me through a full day Stylish looks, I like the UI . I recommend this to all , and no problem so far.

    I was very happy that I upgraded to the S8 and was loving it all week until I realized it wouldn't let me connect to any wifi at all besides the one at my home. My college has free wifi and it worked perfectly fine on my S7edge, but on my S8, it said wifi is blocked. I tried wifi in Mcdonalds, parks, restaurants, and the wifi are all blocked. What on earth? It said I should contact my phone provider or what not and I am kind of really upset.

    I have a Galaxy S8+ that I pre-ordered 2 years ago and I still love it. It works great - no problems, great battery life. When my daughter's phone died (Galaxy S6), we got this as a replacement so we wouldn't have a high phone bill again. I liked the lower price and she likes having something faster and newer than her previous phone.

    The camera on the Samsung Galaxy S8 is, once again, one of the best around. Its main strength is being able to just capture the image you want, taking in sharpness, light and color to make something appear just the way you saw it

    I have had many Samsung phones in the last few years. This one is incredible. It's the perfect size. Everything can be done with one hand. Camera is amazing. Screen is amazing. Forget the other brands out there. Samsung is the only phone you should own. Always more advanced then whatever is out there......even a year later!!!! Price is reasonable as well. Buy it!!!!

    So far Samsung s8 works well

    Samsung s8 works for me quite well. I am new for smart phones still discovering futures useful for me. It takes a lot of time to arrange it for individual needs but with help of Internet probably anybody who has enough patience can do it. Printed materials included with the phone are not too good. For example looking for warranty sends you to web page that does not exist. Only in BestBuy they told me it has one year warranty. Hopefully it will not be needed. Be aware that my experience with this phone is only one week old.
