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).

    With the transferring of my phone service to an unlocked phone, the service connections have not missed a beat. I am grateful that Best Buy offers unlocked phones where you can transfer your existing service and number and it works great! The only problem I have right now is there was a phone update the second day after I got the phone, and now I cannot personalize my contact rings. Samsung state they will be addressing that fix with their next phone update. The reason I know it changed is the first day I was able to personalize 1 person and after the update that feature no longer worked.

    Best decision I have made. I can switch to any provider especially when you go out of USA. All you do is just change SIM card and you good to-go without buying a new phone.

    This phone is very pricey (which makes me glad I bought it during the Black Friday sales!), but with all of the bells and whistles it has, it is completely worth it. Fingerprint sensor, facial and iris recognition, anti-malware feature...the phone is first class with security. Add in plenty of space for apps, great speaker sound, and being unlocked, to boot? You can't go wrong with this phone.

    Even in 2019, the phone is still great quality when you compare it to newer phones and the prices. The camera takes wonderful pictures and videos with high resolution. Also, it has still received the newest software updates. It helps in productivity with App Pair and Dex. Also, 64 GB of base storage is great for all of the apps while I save pictures on an inserted microSD card.

    This phone was such a huge upgrade from my previous phone. Samsung is killing the competition right now with their features. The phone is slick. It's fast and screen is huge. The camera is amazing as well. I really don't see the need to get the S9 for $200 more it's the same thing with slight feature change like the animojis and the new slow mo feature but if u don't need that this is the perfect phone.

    This is a solid phone. It's got some great features, it's fast, it's got a lot of internal storage and it takes microSD cards for more storage (you do need to pop out the SIM card to use them, however). The Bixby button is annoying if you don't want to use it, but that's a very minor thing for the latest and greatest Android phone.

    My previous phone died so I quickly needed to replace it. The S8 was perfect at $399. I love the screen resolution, the fingerprint sensor, and the wireless charging. Awesome phone!! My only disappointment was the week after I purchased this phone, the S9 went on sale briefly for the same price. For the same money, I would have purchased the S9, but I'm very happy with the S8.

    Easily able to use and function right away. Performs well, camera is crystal clear and capture wonderful image. No bitter or crashes. Send txt, share fine and capture very quickly and smooth without any blurs or required lense wiping. Just an amazing experience with this Samsung galaxy 8 than any other Samsung galaxy phone I've ever owned in the past this is tops them all off. This is just extraordinary!!!

    The size of the phone fits perfectly to my hand.Great Samsung phone with curved sides. I like the Samsung Galaxy S8 fast speed in performance, water resistance, battery life is good and there is no overheating problem. The camera is great and it's easy to access. I try a selfies on front-facing camera is terrific. I really like the auto-focus feature. I would like to recommend the Best Buy store to a friend.
