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).

    Problematic Curved Screen, Bloated Software

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The phone performs well, however, the curved screen makes it very difficult to find a screen protector. The apps that came with the phone are bloated, cannot be removed, and are tedious to disable.

    This is a great phone. Lots of features, yet simple to use. Only negative is the high price.

    Very upset to learn that my unlocked phone had different software and not all the features I was used to. Salesman did not tell me that. I was not changing carriers, there was just not a Verizon phone available. Not aware there were differences other than being unlocked
