This is my first Galaxy phone, and I have to say I'm very impressed. Not an expert, but I was wowed by the battery life. Android is easy to use, and Samsung has just the right amount of features, w/o the add ware you'll get from other companies. I'd highly recommend Android and Samsung over anything Apple makes.

Nothing special about this review. The phone is the Samsung S8. It arrived as expected, worked as expected - no surprises.
Ordering it from BestBuy was great. First, their price was the lowest I found (by a little), but free shipping was helpful. After the order was placed, we received the phone in 3 days which was perfect.

Takes Some Getting Used to

In the past, I had an android and switched to an iPhone. There were some features I missed but I was able to get used to the phone. I had an iPhone for 5 or 6 years and decided to go back to android. It definitely takes some adjustment, I'm frustrated right now because I don't have a lot of time to figure out how to retrieve the things I want.
For example, on the iPhone, I was able to pull up my favorites and call with a touch of a button. Now I have to find them among the recent list, push a phone and then push the phone again. It seems backward in technology.
I'm still trying to figure out the email system. I don't get all of my most current emails on the phone and that makes my job very difficult. I'm sure it is a bit of tweeking in the settings but in the meantime, I'm losing patience.
I'm sure a lot of this shows my age and patience level with new technology. I am used to having an otter box case and now I have something different, which is fine but it is extremely thin and I'm having a hard time holding onto the phone, it is very slippery.
Texting is difficult because the keys seem smaller or something. The curved edges make a couple of the keys hard to type but I'm sure I'll get it figured out.
On the positive side...my battery isn't dead so I'm a happy camper. I can eventually make phone calls and send emails but right now it is tough. Best of luck to you, I'm sure it's a great phone. Just not for the impatient.

I've only had this phone for a week, but I love it! The display is awesome, and the camera is great. It has a lot of useful features, Bixby is awesome, and the security features are very good. I could have bought the S9 but decided to go with this, and save the extra money. Coming from a S4, this phone is almost too smart!

A great phone with a small gotcha

The reviews on the phone drive me to getting it. My previous experience with the ATT bloatware on my S6 active and my constant overseas travel made me choose an unlocked model. The camera is fantastic and the performance are top notch. It comes packaged with pretty much everything you need to transfer all your old stuff, and with a micro usb adapter to make life easier.
There are a few bits to consider as a negative
- The voice input 'forces' you to use Samsung voice keyboard, and it is "less good" than Google's. You can disable it, but it turns itself back on. Fortunately you can disable the service from the app manager
The second issue I have so far, and hoping I can resolve is that the unlocked version doesn't have the provisioning to support WiFi calling. If you life in an area with spotty coverage, this is a must. I had it on the S6, and lost it on this one.
I have a m-cell, but those are not as reliable IMO. I'm going to the ATT store in the hopes that a new SIM will resolve the issue, but I'm not holding my breath. Those bits aside, I am liking it more and more. If I can solve this last issue, I will be very happy.

This is not my first Samsung phone. This phone is great, opens the way I like, operation is simple, phones photo quality is really good. We like the style and size of this phone. Was a little disappointed that it required a new charging cable, had to purchase additional cables to have in the auto and by bed. Battery life is really great.

Plenty of storage and feels flawless. Everything that could be there is there, it almost seems like the phone is catering to me. So easy to use and I love Samsung pay. It will even let you know where you can use Samsung pay when you near the building. There are so many cool things about this phone that I have found and have yet to find.

I'll always buy unlocked phones from now on. It's nice not having provider bloatware and being able to change providers if I desire. As for the phone: beautiful display, excellent camera, nice speaker, fast charging, sleek design. It's a Samsung so that goes without saying. The Bixby feature is interesting. I've had issues with the Oreo update as far as speakerphone goes. Updates hopefully will rectify that. However, this is not a problem unique to this phone.

The most beautiful polished phone I have ever held.
Only cons is the finger print reader location causing the lens blurry
