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).

    Great design. Probably the best-looking phone in the market. Works perfectly fine. Great camera. Some people are complaining about finger print being on the back, I prefer it on the back actually.

    I purchased this phone when I found out my old flip phone would not be supported by the network after December. I chose this one in the hope that it was new enough to last several years before it was not supported. Also, there was a good price at the time. There are so many differences between this phone and the old one. I'm not sure I will ever feel comfortable with it. That, however, is no fault of the phone. The main fault I have found is that it does not pick up as much signal as the flip phone did in the same place. That must be a common fault of smart phones vs flip phones. My husband bought a different brand and his has even less signal. It's very inconvenient because the phones rarely work at home. :( The camera is a great feature. I'm looking forward to learning more about how it works and using it to copy material when I'm away from home doing genealogy research.

    Fits perfectly in the hand. Stuffed with great features. Samsung did great, lots of improvements from S6. Even improved little details for certain functions and operations of device. Otter box commuter case is best so far. When on device, screen does not touch surface when phone is facing table.

    The phone is good. It came unlocked. The price is good, but weigh what you will miss if you get an unlocked phone. We use AT&T, and many of the nice features that come with an AT&T locked phone are not available on the unlocked phone.

    The Samsung S8 has it all. Speed, video graphics, long battery life and so much more. It had same size screen as my old phone but feels a lot smaller and lighter. Very comfortable to hold.

    I was never a fan of Samsung phones, never even owned one. This particular model, Galaxy S8 changed my viewpoint about Samsung. This time they did produce a really good phone. The product itself is gorgeous. I'm using the midnight black. The battery life is very impressive. I'm more into gaming and a heavy wifi user. This phone will last more than a day if you just text and talk with moderate wifi usage. The materials used are premium grade. The waterproof feature is something very useful especially if you live in places where the weather is unpredictable. The phone has enough omph to run resource-intensive apps and it doesn't lag. Great phone from samsung.

    I've had this phone for almost 10 months so far and have not had any issues - at all! Fingerprint scanner still works flawlessly, still as quick and responsive as the first day I bought it. Cameras are both great (the front facing camera is a bit zoomed in than what I was first used to). I upgraded from an S6 and I gotta say - the battery is a huge upgrade. Can use the phone all day without any problems or having to recharge. The phone is slimmer width-wise which makes it much more comfortable when using it with one hand. I've been very happy with this phone so far and would recommend.

    I bought this for my wife to replace her Iphone, and she loves it. The camera takes very crisp photos and the screen is very clear. She loves how much easier it is to transfer photos and she is happy she doesn't need to use ITunes anymore. Verizon gave us a hard time when we tried to activate the phone on our plan, so we went into Best Buy and the employees showed us how to activate it and transfer phone numbers and pictures ourselves. It was a very simple process and I'm glad we didn't need to deal with Verizon to do it.

    Purchased this phone for my wife, and she loves it. Her prior phone had poor reception and limited features, but she really liked the Android format. So when researching the Samsung Galaxy line, this was the phone that stood out as the one to get for her. And I fortunately got it right!

    I had the S7 edge prior to the S8.... if I had to do it again, I would have waited until the next phone came out. In my opinion, there isn't enough improvement to warrant the price in jumping from S7edge to S8. With that being said, it is a very nice phone and seems to process quickly.

    This is my first smart phone and i'm finding it very easy to use. It has many convenient features like split screen for apps and face detection. I also like that it is water resistant and has wireless charging. I am not a fan of Bixby, but I do like Google talk.

    This is my first time using an Android and I like it much Better! I give it a 4 star rating because there are a few annoying features such as, while I'm typing the autocorrect comes up with of the wall words and since there is not a home button the touch home acts up a little bit when I looking at comments on Facebook. Overall this is a great, fast phone with an awesome picture. I would purchase again!
