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).

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

    The phone performs well, however, the camera seems to be similar to S7 if not slightly under-performing. Of course, it could be a software issue. In this price range, the expectation is higher, and the overall quality of material and workmanship and level of service is measured against Apple. That said, I would still include this model among those for consideration when buying a high-end phone.

    As expected, S8 works and looks perfect. Make sure to protect it with a case and screen shield
