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. On problem it didn't come with a sim card so I had to go and buy one that was compatible to straight talk.

    The speaker output was too low and sound muffled and it didn't feel like a $700 phone

    I'm disappointed I did not go to an apple store to get my new IPhone, so that old information would have been saved.

    This phone was okay. When Samsung adds its own apps on top of the apps that Android provides it makes for a terrible lagging experience. The only good thing that was on this phone was the screen quality. I would not recommend to a friend.
