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).

    Coming from a Nexus phone it is taking some time to get use to but overall I like it. Not a fan of bloatware since I am use to a pure Android experience. The screen is incredible!

    Had this phone for a couple years now and will not change unless it breaks. Very fast and better than my apple iphone that I had before. Excellent storage capacity and I added another 64 gig memory card.

    This is currently my phone. I love all of the features on it and the camera is excellent and takes high quality photos. The only thing I absolutely hated about this phone was how easily it can crack. The 1st week I had my phone it cracked when it barely fell. I spent tones of money on screen protectors that never worked. The screen protectors for these phones kept unsticking because of the side of the design of the phones sides. The sides of the phones screens dont fit any of the screen protectors. I had to invest in a closed incased phone protector. Also once you've scratched or lightly damaged your screen on this phone it will continue to crack and basically shatter over time. Other than the screen flaw this phone really does work great. The battery lasts long and I love the bigger screen because I don't have great vision.

    Galaxy 8 Far Exceeded Already High Expectations

    My son had gotten a Galaxy S6 Edge when it first came out. It was amazing. But the problem was that it couldn't hold a micro sd card to expand the memory. He kept it up until a couple of weeks ago and we upgraded him. I am blown away by the amazingness of this phone. The Camera quality is phenomenal. I LOVE how it's a big screen but they made in narrow to fit your hand and long. (I have the iPhone 7 and my husband has the iPhone 7 Plus.) The camera on the Galaxy 8 is FAR BETTER than the 7 or 7 Plus. If I didn't work on Mac computers, I'd swap for a Galaxy 8. I love it so very much. And I wouldn't know how much my son loves it... I keep stealing it from him!

    My wife needed a new phone but I did not want to use the AT&T next plan and wind up paying nearly $800 for the S8. Purchased outright at Bestbuy for a great price and it's unlocked. The phone is awesome and capable of handling anything you can throw at it (not literally).

    The unlocked phone was purchased as a gift for my significant other and she really loves it. She is discovering new ways to use the camera, peruse the internet, and even talking on the phone. She is thrilled about the battery life and would most definitely recommend it to her friends.

    I love this phone for multiple reasons. The photo quality is excellent! I can make different tricks with my pictures including using an app to make it look like I have makeup on etc. The memory space is huge! It is super fast and the appearance of the phone itself is slick. I love it!

    I have been a Galaxy phone user for many years. I love this phone. Lots of storage, photos come out clear. I have seen newer versions, but don't see much difference (for what I use my phone for). I'm going to stick with this S8 for a while longer.

    The new Samsung Galaxy S8 can do so much more than my former S5 and has a lot more storage available. The transition was smooth and I'm very pleased with my new phone. Purchasing an unlocked phone made it even better!
