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 love bestbuy , i used to purchase cellular phones from all of the big companies , but was always tied to the company because the phone is theirs. I bought an unlocked samsung galaxy s8 and i am definitely pleased , the phone works great and i am not tied to any carrier , i can use this phone anywhere i want. Thanks again Bestbuy !

    I had carried a Galaxy S5 for at least 3 years and it was the best phone I'd owned in years. But this S8 model is so much faster, and appears to be more stable. I like the security features it offers. Photography is spot on.. I'm a simple user, but I will learn more about the other features this phone has and put some of them to use.

    Went with the 'unlocked' because I didn't want to be "locked" into a specific carrier... As with any purchase, one's decision & choice are always subjective and personal >>> having said that, I opted for this beauty not only because it really IS but also 'cuz of its features as well. All of the Best Buy "stars" did not guide me wrong!

    Before I was a Avid HTC cell phone user. I would always get the latest model the latest updates and features. But after purchasing my Sam song galaxy eight: I don’t think I would ever call back or use another cell phone brand. It has all the features that anyone would want and it’s easy to use but less thinking of the process

    Just got the phone for about 2 weeks. Love the extra internal storage of 64gb rather than the 32gb of previous models. Love the way the phone feels. Great to have the unlock phone. Don't have the extra bloat ware. I can decide what to put in it. I also travel to different countries a lot and being able to switch sim cards is great.

    Best buy had the phone on a discount. The infinity display speaks for itself. You should definitely check it out in person.

    I bought this phone for our son and opted for the unlocked version to have the flexibility to go with whichever carrier we choose, and the costs (at Time of purchase) was less than carrier models. The S8 is practically the same as the S9 for what my son uses. So that was an added bonus - great phone at great price.

    great phone for any samsung fan. i upgraded from an S4, so i really appreciate the sleek design and new featues, upgraded camera of this phone. bought a case and screen protector for it before using as it is extremely smooth and would probably fall easily. love this phone but in terms of durability, it seems extremely fragile.

    Love the looks, the camera, the soft feel (although after you add a case that's gone...). Felt very narrow in my hand at first but after a while I got used to it and I can handle it just fine. I like the quick camera launch (optional; double click on/off button) for when you need to get that one shot that you weren't prepared for.

    I have been recommended this phone by my friend based on his experience. Plus i also spent a lot of time reading the reviews online. I love the overall look of the phone and refreshing change from an iPhone and almost similar looking phones in the Android space. It has that rich feeling which i love and feels good while holding it.
