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).

    Needed a replacement for my other phone. This was a great replacement. Very smooth and responsive.

    Easy to use. Only complaint is they put the finger identification next to the Camara lens.

    worst battery life and perfomance for the price

    bought it on june 2018. now i have to charge two times a day, full charge lasts only 6-7 hrs of moderate use. it use to last for 18 hrs when it was new for same usage. i hade huawei honor X before which was less than half price but lasting for 36hrs even after 2 yrs of use. I had samsung galaxy before with same issue, i thought they might have improved this with this expensive price tag equivalent to iphone, but i was dam wrong. performance is disappointing. the screen starts freezing frequently after 5-6 mths of use. it slows down on multiple app usage which wasn't the problem when it was brand new. I am still thinking whats so special about this phone for the price and i am still blank. I will never buy Samsung phone again for me or my family members when i can get same features at half price with other average brands, or much much better battery life and performance with iPhone by paying little more.

    Because my phone is unlocked, it will not pair with my WIFI to give me better service here in my condo. Best Buy would not replace it with an AT&T phone, because I was four days past the 14 day limit. I thought it worked better than my old one, but does not in my house.

    Going from a 3 to an 8 takes a lot of time to get used to. The old phone was more user friendly.

    The price difference between the S7 & S8 is to steep to justify but thats my only buyers remorse.
