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).

    I have always loved the Galaxy line with Samsung. However, i left it for a short while when Google phones came out, but then google phones started having odd quircks and i came back to Samsung. Boy was I not dissapointed at all! Also i was able to make the menu look like my google phones so there was nothing to lose.

    Great phone. Love the camera and face recognition! The only thing I don't like is the Bixby button. I always seem to hit that when I don't want to, but not enough to not give the phone 5 stars.

    This phone has a great camera and is fast. I find it better than the s7 was although I liked it too. The only downside I have found for the unlocked phone is that it doesn't have wifi calling or the verizon visual voicemail. I haven't downloaded an app for that yet so I can't speak to how well those work.

    This is the best looking cell phone out there at the moment. I never thought Samsung could outdo Apple but they did it. However, battery life is not great, especially at full resolution. Also Bixby is not very useful at the moment. Samsung Pay is great. I am an Apple fan but very impressed with this phone.

    Pros - S8 has great specs. The camera quality is absolutely stunning and the phone works very fast and smoothly. Cons - The fingerprint sensor placement makes it a bit inconvenient to use frequently.

    One of the best phones I have ever owned. The display is awesome, very fast, and the battery is great. The only negative is the placement of the fingerprint scanner and having Bixby.

    this is one of Samsung's best phones. I have had it for the last 18 months and been in great shape till now. the battery life is pretty decent. The camera is brilliant and the best functionality is the Pro mode. Quality of pictures is by far the best among other Samsung phones.

    I've been thinking of switching from iPhone to Samsung Galaxy 8s for months and finally did! Absolutely love the new phone with better resolutions and enjoying the flexibility to download files/ music... etc. People at Bestbuy were very kind and helped to transfer my data from iPhone to the new phone. Thank you!

    We got 2 at the same time. Like the S8 + it seems good so far. Both are easy to use. These phones take really good pictures. As with the other phone the true test will be if it stands the test of time.

    I bought it to replace Galaxy S5 that died on me. The phone is fast, slick, and has better battery life than S5. Nice BestBuy's feature: phone price was matched to what I found on Amazon.

    Purchased an unlocked Galaxy S8 to get away from the Network monopoly. Great phone that has a beautiful screen. One reason I purchased this phone was because of the camera. Takes beautiful pictures.

    Awesome phone and an awesome sales associate was too. I had been through 3 phones in less than a week, and the associate showed me the S8 unlocked for a great price. The operation of the phone is familiar to me, as I have had the S4 and S6. Ease of operation is monumental for a person who does not like change. The camera graphics are outstanding, the Google apps are essential, especially if you want to forget about using Verizon's cloud that isn't free. There are new ringtones and alert tones that I love. The phone's screen is nice and large from end-to-end and side-to-side. I'm enjoying this phone immensely. A BIG shout out to the Vacaville store. They go above and beyond expectation!!!!!
