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 wasn't expecting to buy a smart phone, but, I was talked into it. I do like many of the features and some not so much. Coming from a flip phone to this was surprisingly easy. Some features I can't figure out, but, I've got a son who has this exact same phone and showed me how to do it. Good phone for the price.

    I bought this phone for my son who is an Android fan (I am personally iOS). I have to say - while I don't like the software as much as iOS - the hardware is gorgeous. This thing has some great features and feels great in your hand. Very well made and looks fantastic. The Best Buy custom blue color is the worth the trip to BB.

    What a great phone. Fast, great clear pictures with lots of features. Everything you can want in a phone. Samsung wheelhouse includes phones for sure. Only issue with these phones is the price, so you have to watch for value.

    Great phone for Windows Phone defectors

    I am a big Microsoft fan that had a Lumia 950 before the S8. While that phone wasn't popular, you couldn't really find many phones with the features it had; AMOLED screen, wireless charging, double tap to wake, Iris scanner, one-handed operation, beautiful camera pictures, etc. All of these are in the Samsung S8. Even if you love dark themes, the Samsung theme store or the Substratum app Swift Black theme got you covered. The S8 is sleek looking, very responsive, with great battery life. The Blue Light Reduction feature that Windows Phone fans were waiting for Microsoft to introduce in W10M is already in S8 and it can be scheduled based on sunset/sunrise. Awesome! Compared to Windows Phone, you finally feel like you're in the 21st century. I used to be an Android users for 4 years and even though I miss the live tiles, I don't mind going back to static icons. One thing I hate is that Cortana is half-assed on Android so I had to switch to Google Assistant for Bluetooth dialing and sending messages. I still use Cortana for reminders and other things. I have only had the S8 or a week or so, so we'll see how it holds up.

    A lot of my relatives and friends are amazed when I took photos using Samsung Galaxy S8. Some have Iphones and told me that the picture quality even the screen resolution display of my S8 appears crisper. S8 using Android tech are more flexible and more accessible than Apple's iOS. One drawback as far as its camera is concern is that Samsung needs to improve its portrait/bokeh mode. Not as clean and natural looking as it should be.

    I've had this phone for around 10 months. It's been great so far. The Galaxy phones are known for being good products and the S8 lives up to the name. The Bixby AI (like Siri) is the only thing I don't care for, but I barely use it anyway. Takes great pictures and video. I expect it to last a while.

    The camera is incredible, works fast with tons of space. Had this phone for about a month now and honestly have no complaints other than the bixby feature could use a little work. It sometimes will pop up for no reason so I just shout "Bixby stop listening to me!" and it usually just makes a exasperated sigh and will stop.
