Customers are saying

Some users find the phone to be fragile and slippery, and dislike the pre-installed software (bloatware).

    Great phone so far... Bixby is a bit of a pain so far and the keyboard is so so, but with time I'm sure that will improve. Good camera.. responsive.. quality.. build.. overall good Samsung device

    My old Samsung had a battery issue and had to upgrade. Chose the S8 because it gave me everything I needed and $100 off. The staff were great in transferring all my info to the new phone.

    Camera is 5 stars daylight 4 stars night. Apple is better at night. Bixby is hard to override and impossible to get rid of, works poorly compared to Google voice. Settings default back to Bixby after closing texting programs which is very annoying. That is my main complaint. Samsung is trying to force software down my throat and I would have gotten an Apple if that's what I wanted.

    Bought this Galaxy S8 to replace my wife's aging S5. So far it's working great. Much faster than the S5 and my S6. Like the fact that Samsung brought back the MicroSD card slot too for storage expansion.

    Top end android phone

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

    Pros: Unlocked for any carrier, no carrier bloat, sleek much nicer design than the S7, great screen and longer battery life than my S7. No issues or performance problems with unlocked version and a more attractive price. Cons:" Bixby" (OK Google clone). Not a fan of bixby don't want to use it but can't delete it. Appears to be part of Samsung's operating system. Only other complaint is the slippery glass back (common to a lot of high end phones) easily dropped with no case on.
