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).

    Good phone - no wifi calling

    The phone is great - I like lot of the features on it. The huge downside is that, since this was a unlocked version of the phone, ATT says they cannot activate the wifi calling feature and couple of other ATT features. The lack of wifi calling affects when I travel outside the country and still want to use my phone without roaming. Recently with all the Work from home, I realized the phone signal inside the home is weak and lack of wifi calling results in calls dropping or breaking up. This has been frustrating. I feel like either ATT (when I upgraded) or Best Buy during purchase should have mentioned this.

    I had a Samsung Galaxy 7 Edge before I upgraded to the Samsung galaxy 8. Like my galaxy 8 a lot better it does everything a lot faster than 7edge did. So much better.

    The only bad thing I have to say about this phone is that it has a sensitive touch screen that it does things on its own when in pocket

    The phone was brand new as advertised. All accessories that I expected were in the box and the phone works well with my Bmobile sim card. I really have no complaints.

    The android interface is tough to get used to coming from the iOS. More flexible once hooked to Google apps on my PC. Lacking a good user guide. Contacts are hard to set up, don;t let AT&T migrate them. Do it your self on Google Contacts.

    I like the phone a great deal but it is evident that I have a lot to learn about it too. I was surprised this morning when I saw that it had created a montage video of photos of my dog all on its own. It seems to be a very intuitive device.

    I upgraded from a 7 year old S4, so as expected this S8 has a lot of new features and upgrades. I'm still discovering them all, and probably will be for months. It's much better than my old phone.

    The versatility and multitasking capabilities are astonishing. The front and back camera outperform previous models. Neat design that goes well with the LED cover.
